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.

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.
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.
Since the beginning of August, hostile inscriptions against tourists discovered in several municipalities of southern Finistère have been widely reported in the national media. Visitors' cars have notably been vandalized in Plobannalec-Lesconil, while inscriptions have been found in Penmarc'h and Douarnenez.
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.
Koun Breizh is outraged by the decision of the Administrative Court imposing the relocation of the calvary of Kerdalaes in Saint-Divy. This decision confirms the impossibility for Bretons to preserve their original heritage. It concerns our culture, our heritage, and our roots. We can no longer accept such secular intransigence that fuels discomfort, conflict, and all forms of hatred.
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."
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.
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.
In practice, a high school student who has taken, for example, math classes in Breton will now be able to take the written mathematics exam in Breton.
