Gourchemmenoù BREIZH! 30,000 march for Breton reunification as momentum continues to build for the formal restoration of Bro Naoned (Loire Atlantique), with the historic Breton capital of Naoned (Nantes), to Brittany. Following the success of Saturday’s event a mass meeting is being organised on October 25th in Rennes, (see DIBAB - DÉCIDEZ LA BRETAGNE, https://facebook/events/609230952521378/ ). See the press links below for many excellent pictures and videos. #44BZH Reunification would help the Breton language revitalisation strategy, which is itself becoming a major employer in its own right. Breton-medium education is vibrant in Loire Atlantique and, as the regions will have some powers over education, it’s vital that regional government supports this revitalisation. This may not be the case without reunification. As the Diwan president said in June the status quo could see the current positive developments for Breton medium stall in Loire Atlantique, while the inclusion of Brittany in le Grand Ouest would undermine and marginalise an already fragile Breton language development policy. Furthermore, reunited with the Loire-Atlantique, Brittany would represent 4.5 million people with the return of three additional cities, with all the skills and capacity-building potential that entails for this maritime nation. Brittany’s capacity for economic development would increase tenfold. It would greatly boost the already well-established Breton brand and the ‘Made in Brittany’ initiative across all sectors. It would also improve Brittany’s placing with other regions and nations as it would be more populous than eight EU member-states or eleven German Länder, and Wales. (DH, Eurolang 2014)
