Mythos 2026: ten days where the Rennes scene bursts with life
We are all pleased with the strong initiative taken by Paul Molac to advance on the path to the autonomy of Brittany. Provided, of course, that he does not deviate from it through potential contradictory alliances.
The ironic remark made by the president of the Brittany region: “Let them take the opportunity to attach Loire-Atlantique to Brittany!” reflects what I would call the strength of the power system. This system relies solely on the allegiance of our prominent elected officials who pretend. True democracy demands respect for the peoples and not for the large regions constructed to maintain the system. Our regional president has chosen his side a long time ago.
The socialist mayor of Strasbourg, Catherine Trautmann, warned against "a factor of instability and uncertainty" that would result from Alsace's exit from the Grand Est, believing it could harm the city's European influence.

Dante's Divine Comedy, translated into Breton by the Breton priest Pêr Bourdellez, is much more than a simple translation.

A bill aimed at simplifying the "territorial millefeuille" and allowing the creation of single local authorities, particularly in Alsace, is being examined today in the National Assembly.
The tilde, used notably in the Breton name Fañch, is now accepted in first names registered in the French civil registry. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has asked prosecutors not to contest the use of this diacritical mark, putting an end to several years of controversy.
As every year on the second Saturday of May, a meeting is held for all those who see Abbé Perrot as an example of a Christian life dedicated to the good of Brittany.
A new case seems to suggest the destruction of standing stones in Tregastel. Koun Breizh is filing a complaint today so that a criminal investigation can clarify the situation. Our association is regularly alerted to similar incidents that occurred several years ago, which does not allow for effective action. Our megalithic heritage is subject to a worrying disregard.
Thank you for your support.
