Femu a Corsica returns with a stronger stance on autonomy and political realignment in Corsica, rejecting compromises and targeting far-right influence.
Femu a Corsica returns with stronger stance
On Saturday, Femu a Corsica, a Corsican autonomist party, made a political return with a more firm and assertive speech, focusing on both autonomy and the ongoing political changes in Corsica. Party rejects Senate obstacle
In Corte, the party leadership and activists reaffirmed their intention to make no concessions on Corsican autonomy, while acknowledging the challenge posed by the Senate, which has previously blocked some of their initiatives. Effort to remove controversial amendment
Femu a Corsica aims to have amendment 111, passed by La France Insoumise last June, withdrawn during the second reading in the National Assembly. This amendment is seen as controversial by the autonomist party. Denial of ties to La France Insoumise
The party has firmly denied any closeness to La France Insoumise, a left-wing political movement in France. This position will be further clarified as the next presidential election approaches. Far right's growing influence
Femu a Corsica highlighted the rising influence of the far right in Corsica, which the party claims is hostile to its goals, including the emancipation of Corsica, and specifically to Nicolas Battini, a prominent figure in the autonomist movement. Criticism of liberal right's stance
The party also expressed concern that part of the liberal Corsican right, led by François-Xavier Ceccoli, favors the far right over nationalist groups, based on the results of recent senatorial elections. François Martinetti comments
François Martinetti, the national secretary of Femu a Corsica, provided further insight into the party's strategy and concerns regarding the political landscape in Corsica.
