“Contempt breeds anger, and anger leads to revolt.” And in our country, the revolt provokes the insurrection ”. As Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin is due to begin talks on autonomy this Wednesday afternoon in Ajaccio, the Corsican National Liberation Front (FLNC) is threatening to resume fighting, according to a statement sent to Corse Matin.
The FLNC supports the mobilization that has set the island ablaze since “the monstrous assassination attempt on Yvan Colonna”. According to the separatists, the nationalists’ electoral victories in 2015 and 2017 were “ignored” and benefited from the “contempt” and lack of reaction from the French executive.

“If the French State still remained deaf, then (…) quickly the street fights of today will be those of the maquis of the night tomorrow”, warns the press release of the clandestine independence movement which had officially deposited the weapons in 2014, after four decades of armed struggle marked by more than 4,500 claimed attacks.
