The clashes postponed the discussion. The meeting planned for April 8 in Paris between Corsican elected officials and the government on the institutional future of the island is postponed after violence on Sunday in Corsica, announced the entourage of Gérald Darmanin.
The entourage of the Minister of the Interior explained that “the conditions for a normalized dialogue were hardly met”. A letter to this effect was sent to Gilles Simeoni, autonomist president of the executive council of Corsica, it was added.
A new demonstration for Yvan Colonna, a Corsican independence activist fatally attacked in prison, degenerated into violent clashes on Sunday in Ajaccio. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had undertaken to open negotiations this week on “all Corsican issues”, including “the institutional evolution towards a status of autonomy yet to be specified”.
