Hundreds of farmers in Corsica are holding demonstrations to demand more financial aid for their farms, which are suffering from severe drought conditions. According to ICI RCFM, the protests have also affected eight schools across the island, including middle and high schools, with some of them blocked off as part of the demonstrations. The Academy of Corsica confirmed this on local radio, indicating that the protests are not only focused on agricultural concerns but also impacting local education. Demonstrations are taking place in front of several prefectures, which are administrative centers for regional government. In Ajaccio, the capital of the southern part of Corsica, about 150 people gathered, including around fifty young people. In Bastia, the capital of the northern part, approximately 200 people protested. At the Ajaccio prefecture, demonstrators placed concrete blocks at the entrance and hung a banner reading "Nimu ùn tumberà l’agricultura" ("No one will kill agriculture"). Similar gatherings are also reported at the sub-prefectures of Calvi and Sartène. The protests are organized by a united front of agricultural unions, including FDSEA, Coordination rurale, Jeunes agriculteurs, Via Campagnola, and Mossa Paisana, along with the Regional Agricultural Chamber. These groups are criticizing the limited financial support allocated to Corsica under the national emergency plan for agriculture, which was announced following a summer marked by extreme drought and heatwaves. The island is set to receive 1.3 million euros, which the president of the Regional Agricultural Chamber called a "charity," arguing that at least 8 million euros is needed to adequately support the region's farmers. A meeting between the agricultural unions and local authorities began just before 11:30 am in the Ajaccio prefecture, coinciding with a similar meeting in Bastia. These discussions come as part of the broader effort to address the financial needs of Corsican farmers and to ensure that the government provides sufficient aid to mitigate the impact of the ongoing drought.
