Corsican independence advocates protest a Paris-based relocation of a Lozari residence, highlighting real estate issues and the need for protective measures.
Protest against real estate trends
Members of the Corsican independence party Core in Fronte gathered in front of a residence named Terrasses de Lozari in Lozari on Saturday. The location was chosen because the party views it as a symbol of real estate dispossession in Corsica, where local properties are increasingly owned by outsiders.Relocation debate looming
On October 22, the syndic of the co-ownership of Terrasses de Lozari will have to debate moving the community’s meetings to Paris. This decision is driven by the fact that the majority of property owners in the residence are based on the mainland rather than in Corsica.Focus on secondary housing
Core in Fronte argues that Terrasses de Lozari is nearly entirely dedicated to secondary housing or tourist rentals. This, they say, highlights the need for protective measures like the resident status, which would help ensure Corsicans can continue living decently on their island.Voice from the party
Batti Lucciardi, a representative of Core in Fronte, expressed the party’s concerns about the impact of such real estate trends on Corsican communities. The party is pushing for policies that prioritize local residents and preserve Corsican identity and way of life.
