They wanted to make an impression. Bringing their major demand to the forefront of the political scene: the attachment or reintegration of Loire-Atlantique to Brittany and the organization of a referendum. A few hundred activists for the cause deployed a 1,400 m2 Gwenn ha du in the center of Nantes.
The associations campaigning for the Loire-Atlantique to reintegrate into the bosom of Brittany have been strong: they have unfurled a huge Breton flag, the Gwenn ha du, of 1400 m2, (46 meters, over 31 meters) at the foot of the ramparts of the castle of the Dukes of Brittany.
A symbolic gesture, during the electoral campaign to demand once again the organization of a referendum on the question of the reunification of historic Brittany. And remember that the city of Nantes has made a wish in 2021 for the state to organize a popular consultation in 2024.
The organizers of this event will continue to mobilize. Thus on March 27 they launched a call for a rally in Nantes and on March 28, a meeting was given in Paris in front of the Maison de la Bretagne to support their claim.
