Corsican autonomy: after Senate rejection, consultations stalled

After the withdrawal from the Beauvau process, a constitutional expert stated that a referendum on Corsican autonomy could not come from a local initiative, although nationalist movements were considering it. Following the Senate's rejection of the bill, the government reaffirmed its intention to present a text to the National Assembly and proposed a strategic committee to Corsican elected officials, initially announced for 9 November and then set for 12 November. Femu a Corsica called for a boycott of this meeting, the PNC refused to participate, and the Corsican Assembly and Executive Council declined the minister's invitation; the government then canceled the meeting while stating it would continue the constitutional process. The Corsican Assembly adopted a solemn resolution to exit the crisis, while high school students in Ajaccio blocked establishments in support of nationalist elected officials, and autonomists engaged in a standoff with Paris. On 13 November, nationalist elected officials left the Ajaccio municipal council to protest the postponement of a motion on resident status and two oral questions.
