Summary/Abstract: Article describes Welsh authorities attempt to enhance their political position (achieved as a result of the devolution reform) as some sort of compensation for the Brexit negative impact on economicand social development of the region. The conception created by Carwyn Jones’ Government couldnot been presented as an alternative to focusing autonomous processes on gaining independence,because of Welsh people lack of interest of the latter solution. As an effect it has been completelyignored by the national authorities. Inability to implement the Scottish model of political emancipation (in the context of step-by-step exception of the European Union regional policy mechanisms inthe United Kingdom) has become a factor stimulating real re-Britisation of Wales process.
