Abstract
Despite a strong and asserted identity, the claim for a right to self-determination is weak in Brittany. Since 1964, this aspiration has been mainly driven by the Breton Democratic Union (Union démocratique bretonne), which, however, never managed to be electorally successful. From the early 2000s, however, the Breton nationalists began to strengthen their political weight by integrating the regional institutions. The emergence of the figure of Christian Troadec and the Red Caps social movement contributed also to a first electoral swing. However, this recent momentum remains fragile.
