The French PS (Parti socialiste) majority in the lower house of the French Parliament approved the second reading of the new territorial map of metropolitan France yesterday reducing the number of regions from 22 to 13. With astounding arrogance they ignored the wide scale demands by the people of Alsace to retain their historic and cultural identity. This was at the same time that they rejected calls for the reunification of Brittany. They have trampled over Alsace and it will be merged into a new eastern region, along with Champagne-Ardennes and Lorraine.

Despite the vote in the National Assembly it is clear that on every level the argument in favour of reunification was won. It could not be clearer that  Brittany reunified, representing 4.5 million people would increase its economic potential. In not supporting the reunification of Brittany an opportunity for potential growth, job creation and prosperity for the Breton people has been squandered.
