Gwennyn: "We are at a crossroads"

In contrast to the pessimistic discourse about the future of Breton, Gwennyn advocates for a decidedly optimistic vision. For the artist, the internet and artificial intelligence will accelerate the dissemination of the language among younger generations. She reflects for ABP on her commitment and on the momentum created with the Breizh A Live festival.


Koun Breizh files a complaint for the destruction of archaeological remains in Kerguntuil - Tregastel.

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.

Closure of bilingual classes: why this silence from Chesnais-Girard?

As the language policy fails, the closure of bilingual classes announced by the rectorate is a pure scandal. It raises a significant question. Why this silence from Loïg Chesnais-Girard, the primary person responsible for language policy? It is in the name of Brittany and the Breton people that his voice should be heard. His silence is a sign of the trivialization of our old country, which has become a "region" and is therefore destined to be merely a variable subject to all adjustments. If we have a President, now is the time for him to make himself heard and do the job!

Historic Brittany has reached 5 million inhabitants.

As of January 1, 2026, the total of the departmental populations published by INSEE brings Brittany, with its five historical departments, to nearly 4.94 million inhabitants. While the symbolic threshold of 5 million is now in sight, a detailed analysis of births, deaths, and migration flows shows that growth is primarily based on residential attractiveness, in a context of marked aging and declining birth rates.

The tilde finally allowed in Breton first names like Fañch.

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.

After Carhaix and its "Pantheon" of Breton statues, Lorient wants to showcase interceltism year-round: eight works in project.

In Lorient, another emblematic city of Celtic cultures thanks to the Interceltic Festival, a comparable initiative is taking shape, but on the scale of the Celtic nations: the city had already inaugurated, on August 3, 2008, a statue of Polig Monjarret. Today, its promoters want to go further: to install eight statues of musicians from other Celtic countries, in order to make inter-Celticism visible on a daily basis.
