It allowed us to set down our vision in writing and explain what devolution could concretely mean for Brittany. A new edition of the Levrig is planned for the end of October D026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, this document is not an end in itself. It must evolve, be enriched, and be tested against the realities and expertise of those who wish to take part in our discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turning reflection into capability for action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is precisely the objective of the reflection committees set up in the first half of the year. They are expected to gradually take on an important role in creating added value for <strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led and coordinated by our Steering Committee, they must demonstrate that our thinking and actions are not intellectual abstractions, but that they directly concern the ability to influence the daily lives of the people of Brittany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-wp-embed is-provider-yes-breizh wp-block-embed-yes-breizh\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YQ0dH0n7I2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/en\/devolution-in-brittany\/\">Devolution in Brittany: definition, issues and model for the future<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u00abDevolution in Brittany: definition, issues and model for the future\u00bb - Yes Breizh\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/devolution-en-bretagne\/embed\/#?secret=C9EWCcKmwo#?secret=YQ0dH0n7I2\" data-secret=\"YQ0dH0n7I2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making devolution a no-brainer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think our success will not be measured solely by the number of our members, our presence on social media or the number of meetings we organise. It will be measured by our ability to gradually make the idea that decisions concerning Brittany will often be better made in Brittany considered normal, sensible and desirable. <br><br>Significant work remains to be done to explain and convince the women and men of Brittany that it is also in their immediate, everyday interest to\u2019<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/en\/devolution-in-brittany\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.yes.bzh\/devolution-en-bretagne\/\">moving towards a devolution of missions and powers to Brittany<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserving our ability to bring people together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To achieve this, we will need to continue working hard. <br>We will need to engage in dialogue with elected representatives, candidates, associations, economic, cultural and social stakeholders, academics and, above all, the men and women of Brittany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will have to accept debate, objections and sometimes disagreements. <br>We will also need to preserve what is probably our most precious asset: our independence from political parties and our ability to bring together people who do not necessarily think the same way about everything, but who can move forward together on the essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We have laid the foundation stones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong> is still young. <br>We therefore have no reason to pretend to be what we are not yet.<br>But we have every reason to be ambitious about what we can become and do for Brittany. And this ambition goes beyond the building of an association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey will necessarily be a long one.<br>It will require consistency, method and probably a lot of patience.<br>It will be necessary to avoid sometimes irrelevant reflexes in favour of a sensible reaction nourished by reflection. It will also be necessary to favour a culture of listening and strong consensus rather than sectarianism and the comfort of the sanctuarisation of red lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, <strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong> raises thoughts and proposals which today, it must be admitted, are in the minority, but we must make them into questions, then into possibilities, and finally into certainties...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before finishing this first President's annual report of <strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong>, I want to thank all those who, since the early days, have given their time, skills, ideas and energy to <strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A movement like ours doesn't rely on one person. It relies on a collective will resulting from strong individual commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We laid the foundation stones.<br>Now it's our turn to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Long live Brittany.
