I do not believe that Brittany should necessarily cede from France. A region such as Brittany has existed as a part of France for centuries and undoubtedly the Bretons called themselves "French people", even when they were permitted to speak their own language. However, it is clear that Brittany should, like in every other nation under the support of the Charter for Minority languages, be supported in its individual culture and language. The inability to allow such support by the French government only seems indicative of an oppresive and dominating attitude that ought to have been left behind in the Dark Ages. One would hope that, living in the post-modern era, such tactics of cultural annihilation would not be in place.Harryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443065640857423475noreply@blogger.com
