As France goes through a period of political instability, social tensions, and budgetary difficulties, with public debt now approaching 3.6 trillion euros, elected officials from the regions and political figures such as Jean-Louis Borloo and Paul Molac are proposing a thorough review of the organization of the Republic. On Saturday, October 3, in Pontivy, Faisons Bretagne brought together elected officials and political leaders around a common idea: to transfer a large share of power to the regions.

Tanork scheduled for October 10 at Menä Röck in Tunis.

On October 10, a language that is several centuries old will resonate at the Menä Röck Festival in Tunis, not far from the prestigious site of Carthage. Not in a fest-noz, but at the heart of an international metal festival. This language is Breton. Those who will bring it to the stage are called Tanork.

Letter to the Mayor of Brest on the Breton language and contempt

The new internal regulations of the Municipal Council restrict the use of the Breton language in a shocking manner and remind us of the contempt that has affected our language for so long. Who are we to deserve this? No one is legitimate to "authorize" Bretons to speak their language on their ancient land. We are here in a purely colonial and infantilizing logic.
