Corsica: After Senate rejection, a way out of the crisis on autonomy

Following the Senate's rejection of the bill on Corsican autonomy and the departure of nationalists from the Beauvau process, Paul-Félix Benedetti calls for an island-wide referendum, while Femu a Corsica sets red lines and mentions a referendum before the end of the year. The Corsican Assembly is convened in extraordinary session on November 4, while a constitutional expert doubts the feasibility of a local initiative referendum and Nazione calls to turn the page on Beauvau. The government reaffirms its intention to present a text to the National Assembly and proposes a strategic committee, initially scheduled for November 9 and then moved to November 12. Femu a Corsica calls for boycotting the committee, the PNC refuses to participate, and the mayor of Ajaccio criticizes the method followed. On November 5, the Assembly adopts a solemn resolution to exit the crisis; on November 11, nationalist elected officials decline the minister's invitation, and the government cancels the November 12 meeting while stating it will continue the constitutional process.
