Support Scottish independence and vote Yes. There are clear economic and social benefits to having an independent Scotland. Believe in yourself Scotland! Go for it! You have strong support from the people of Brittany as pointed out in this feature from the Breton website 7SEIZH. We are with you!

As reported by the Catalan News Agency a mass demonstration has taken place in Barcelona calling for the right to vote on independence for Catalonia. With less than a week to go until Scotland's referendum on independence Catalan's demonstrated today in their hundreds of thousands to demand that their own referendum is recognised by the Spanish government.

Momentum is building for the largest demonstration yet in favour of the reunification of Brittany. Social, cultural and political organisations across Brittany are working to send members and supporters to the rally in Nantes on September 27. Parti Breton (Breton: Strollad Breizh) are amongst those calling for a massive turnout for the event. The people of Brittany are demanding the restoration of their historic borders.

The French Government under failing and desperately unpopular President François Hollande staggers from crisis to crisis. This French government presides over a failing economy of unemployment and no economic growth. Now Hollande has dismissed his entire cabinet as the French economic crisis deepens. Imagine an independent Brittany that would now be thriving without the incompetent French state on its back!

The campaign for the reunification of Brittany continues with another rally in Nantes taking place on September 27.  As pointed out by the collective 44=Breizh this will be the third such demonstration called in Nantes in recent months, with the April 19th and June 28th protests attracting 10,000 and 15,000 people respectively. The Breton peoples demand for reunification will not go away as hoped for by the French government.

This year’s 2014 Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival has been another resounding success. Artists and performers gathered in Lorient (Breton: An Oriant) in Brittany (Breizh) from all over the Celtic world. 750,000 spectators attended the ten day event which concluded on 10th August. 60,000 people came to see the parade of Celtic nations and millions watched the event on television. This year was the year of Ireland with great displays by Irish musicians and dancers.

August 1 - 10 2014 sees performers and artists from around the Celtic world coming together in Brittany. 2014 is the year of Ireland. There is a full programme of events in what is set to be yet another successful inter-Celtic festival. Further information: www.festival-interceltique.com

The Map of the Regions has now been adopted by the National Assembly. The borders of Brittany remain the same and as predicted the parti socialiste representatives sold out and denied Bretons what they have demanded for so long – Brittany reunified. This was a golden opportunity to right the wrong committed in 1941 when Nantes and Loire-Atlantique were undemocratically rendered asunder from the rest of the historic nation of Brittany.

As widely reported for many weeks the proposals upon regional reorganisation being undertaken in France and its impact upon the ancient nation of Brittany will soon be revealed. There has been a lot of speculation about the outcome. The clear will of the Breton people has been that Brittany should return to its historic boundaries. That is the reunification of Nantes and the Loire Atlantique with the rest of Brittany from which it was ruthlessly torn by the Vichy regime in 1941.

An estimated fifteen thousand people demonstrated on the streets of Nantes yesterday calling for the reunification of Nantes and the Loire Atlantique with the rest of Brittany. It comes after other such protests across Brittany calling for the Loire Atlantique to be returned to its rightful place within the ancient national boundaries of the nation of Brittany. The participants braved the rainy conditions and came from all sections of Breton society.
