Politics of Brittany | |
Breton Democratic Union (French: Union démocratique bretonne, Breton: Unvaniezh Demokratel Breizh, UDB) is a Breton nationalist,[1] autonomist,[2] and regionalist[3][4] political party in Brittany (Bretagne administrée) and Loire-Atlantique. The UDB advocates devolution for Brittany as well as the promotion of its regional languages (Breton and Gallo) and its associated culture.
The Breton Democratic Union has presently four seats in the Regional council of Brittany.
