.

These inhabitants of the town of Plérin, near Guingamp, have been asking for a bilingual French-Breton family record book for almost a year and a half.

Their little boy was born in May 2021 in the Pabu maternity hospital and his parents have still not received the document in the Breton language, despite their multiple approaches to the town hall.

They sent a letter to the mayor of Pabu to complain about this situation.

“This request is legal”

“The services told us that to have the bilingual booklet, it would have to be printed in 2000 copies and that this cost, the town hall could not absorb it, explains the couple.

(…) We recall that this request is legal and even encouraged by the Prime Minister and the Prefect of the Brittany Region”.

They thus deplore discrimination “against all the Brittonic speakers of the Pays de Guingamp and those who, like us, have chosen to give birth in the maternity hospital of Pabu”.

According to

, they have recently learned good news: their bilingual booklet should soon reach them.

“We have arranged with the printer to have a first copy, which we will be able to send to this family within ten days, the mayor told the daily on Tuesday.

I have a lot of respect for the Breton language”.
