POINTS OF VIEW

Will the Loire-Atlantique ever be a part of Brittany again?

Certain elements plead in favor of its reintegration. The population of Loire Atlantique is? for the most part? in favor of this solution. A TMO Régions survey, taken between February 22nd and 25th 1999 among 803 people over the age of 18, demonstrates that 68% of those surveyed either completely agree (28%) or somewhat agree (40%) with the idea of reintegration into Brittany. However, the affair is a long way from being settled. A propaganda campaign is in place which aims to highlight the historic value of the Loire Valley. And very soon, the young people who have been taught that they are from the "Pays de Loirains" are going to start to believe it. France 3's (public TV) policy concerning the area leans toward reunification. That's why Patrick LeLay's television project is a step in the right direction for Unified Brittany, even if it doesn't totally satisfy some Bretons. It is intended for all Bretons from Old, Historic Brittany, which is very, very important.
