The essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Devolution is credible only if the power to decide is accompanied by the power to finance and the obligation to account. Today, the Brittany Region has a significant budget but almost no fiscal autonomy: its main revenues depend on national decisions that are often annual, while its commitments are multi-year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal \u2014 <\/strong>Moving from a community administering unstable envelopes to a Brittany responsible for a basket of revenues, a consolidated budget, its investment choices and their evaluation, within the framework of the French Republic and global French solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These figures concern the administrative region. A reunified Brittany cannot be quantified by simple addition: it is necessary to consolidate the competences, budgets, debts, assets, personnel and flows of all the communities existing in Brittany, financed by our taxes for the 5 Breton departments.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
