He has been president since 2004, and his time in office finishes in 2010. He's one of the most virulent opponents to the return of Nantes and his area to Brittany.

Although more than 76% of Nantes' inhabitants are now agree to come back in the Brittany's nation, Jacques Auxiette always denied this democratic fact to promote his anti-Breton state of mind.
