She is in favor of reunifying Brittany, but not of granting it a status of autonomy or the creation of a Brittany Parliament as proposed in the questionnaire.<br><strong>Yann Leriche<\/strong> He responds favorably to devolution, autonomy, and the creation of a Parliament of Brittany. However, in his detailed responses, he emphasizes decentralization towards local elected officials. He opposes reunification with the Loire-Atlantique.<br><strong>Philippe Plouzan\u00e9<\/strong> He responds favorably to devolution, the status of autonomy, the Parliament of Brittany, and reunification. He proposes fiscal autonomy for non-regal powers and a constitutional evolution towards a federal republic.<br><strong>Nil Caouissin<\/strong> he also responds favorably to <strong>the devolution, autonomy, the creation of a Parliament of Brittany and reunification<\/strong>. He cites several competencies that could be transferred, defends fiscal autonomy or a rebalancing of funding, and proposes a constitutional change that would allow regions that wish to do so to gain autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And the other 20 lists?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The questionnaire presented by <strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong> had been sent to the candidate lists without any political distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the 24 officially nominated lists in the C\u00f4tes d\u2019Armor, Finist\u00e8re and Ille-et-Vilaine, <strong>Four answers were finally recorded<\/strong>.<br>The other twenty lists had not responded at the time this summary was prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes Breizh<\/strong> had announced from the very start of this consultation that the responses, as well as any absence of responses, would be made public before the poll.<br>This publication respects this commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inform citizens before the September 27th vote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate elections are not held by direct universal suffrage. <br>This Sunday, September 27, it is the grand electors who will designate the new senators.
