Senate rejects Corsican independence proposal
The Senate of France rejected a constitutional proposal related to Corsica on Monday evening, which the Corsican independence party Nazione views as confirmation that the process to address Corsican demands has failed from the start.Nazione criticizes the Beauvau process
Nazione, a Corsican independence party, has never supported the Beauvau process, arguing that it excluded essential demands such as a resident status, co-officiality of the Corsican language, and a Corsican electoral body. The party says the process did not recognize the rights of the Corsican people or provide real legislative power to the Corsican Assembly.Nazione calls for a new national strategy
Petru-Antone Tomasi, a spokesperson for Nazione, says the focus should not be on upcoming elections but on uniting patriotic and active forces around a common strategy. He argues that this unity is needed to build a credible relationship with the French state and defend Corsican rights.Nazione advocates for self-determination and civil disobedience
The party emphasizes the right to self-determination and suggests that a referendum could be a way to move forward, but it must be based on a clear platform of demands. It also calls for civil disobedience to push for measures like resident status and Corsicanization of jobs.Nazione questions the legitimacy of current electoral lists
The party argues that the current electoral lists in Corsica are not legitimate without a prior discussion about who should be allowed to vote. It says that people who are new to Corsica should not be allowed to decide its future.Nazione seeks a new direction for Corsican nationalism
Nazione does not support continuing the Beauvau process in the same way and instead calls for a change in direction. It urges nationalist forces to agree on a common platform and build a relationship around the rights of the Corsican people.Other news highlights
