Lettre ouverte
Open letter to the President of the Brittany Regional Council to remove the mention "Everything is good in Breton" from his communication.
Koun Breizh publishes an open letter in the press addressed to the President of the Regional Council of Brittany, Loig Chesnais-Girard, demanding the removal of the controversial phrase "Everything is good in Breton..." which creates an association between Breton and pig with regrettable effects. Will he respond?
News brief
In Krakow, Poland also celebrates Celtic cultures.
The second edition of the Kraków Celtic Festival takes place from September 4 to 6 in Kraków, Poland. For three days, musicians and dancers from Poland, Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, and Brittany gather in the former Polish capital. A Celtic presence that may be surprising nearly 1,500 kilometers from Brittany, but which is based both on a very active local music scene and on a much older history.

Communiqué de presse
Koun Breizh asks Loig Chesnais-Girard to remove the association between "Bretons" and "pigs" from his communication.
The communication regarding the launch of the consultation of Bretons by the Brittany region is centered around the phrase "everything is good in Breton!" which brings to mind the well-known saying "everything is good in the pig!" Koun Breizh cannot accept this association of ideas and asks Loig Chenais-Girard to remove this mention that reminds us of the latent racism we have endured in history. However, in self-deprecation, this association does not make us laugh.

Chronicle

Column
Rivoallan, from Morlaix to the scorching lands of Sonora
Born in Morlaix in 1827, Charles-Gustave Rivoallan seemed destined for the peaceful career of a lawyer. However, the gold rush led him to California, and then to the Sonora Desert alongside the buccaneers of Count Raousset-Boulbon. Battles, heat, Apache attacks, and disillusionments turned his quest for fortune into a true survival ordeal. Before his discreet return to Brittany, Rivoallan had experienced one of those forgotten epics that transform an ordinary life into History.
Column
Are we doomed to stagnation?
My response to Bernard Poignant on the issue of autonomy. If the person concerned felt compelled to label Brittany's autonomy as unrealistic in a column in Le Télégramme this summer, it is because we have won the cultural battle. Bernard Poignant is the symbol of the PS power networks, those who have harmed us so much in Brittany and who still pull the strings, in the region and elsewhere.
News brief
Anti-tourist tags: "Refugees welcome," the other slogan overlooked by the media

Visitors' cars have notably been vandalized in Plobannalec-Lesconil, while inscriptions have been found in Penmarc'h and Douarnenez.
Reportage
Michel Le Coz recounts 10,000 years of history of Cornwall.
Emglev Bro an Oriant organized this conference held at the CCI of Lorient during the Interceltic Festival. With British Cornwall being the guest of honor this year, Michel Le Coz recounted over 10,000 years of history of this Brittany across the Channel, whose language, Cornish, is so close to Breton that many words and expressions, as well as part of the Cornish toponymy, are immediately understandable to a Breton speaker.
Reportage
Story of the Breton Soul
On the occasion of the Interceltic Festival of Lorient, historian and geographer Jean-Michel Le Boulanger came to present his latest work, Bretagne Monde, created with photographer Yvon Boëlle. For just over an hour, he questioned what, beyond history and geography, constitutes "the soul of Brittany."
Reportage
Irish Minister Frank Feighan in Lorient: "Innovation is no longer confined to major capitals"
Invited to the Interceltic Business Forum in Lorient, Frank Feighan, the Irish Minister of State responsible for digitalization, advocated for strengthening economic relations between Ireland, Brittany, and the other Celtic nations.
Reportage
Cornwall revives its mines to regain jobs and independence. And Brittany?
Moving away from hydrocarbons requires electrifying the economy. Electrifying requires lithium and other strategic minerals. If Europe refuses to extract them, it will remain dependent either on hydrocarbons or on countries like China. This is the reasoning put forward by Perran Moon, Labour MP for Camborne and Redruth, who supports the mining revival in Cornwall. This direction sharply contrasts with that taken in Brittany.
