Evoking a “historic moment”, President Emmanuel Macron proposed Thursday that “a new step be taken” with “the entry of Corsica into the French Constitution” and “autonomy” for the island, which is not “ neither against the State nor without the State.”
“The status quo would be the failure of us all,” assured the President of the Republic, speaking in Ajaccio before the Corsican Assembly controlled by the nationalists, hoping that this “new institutional stage” will make it possible to “fully anchor Corsica in the Republic and to recognize the singularity of its Mediterranean insularity and its relationship to the world.”
