Corsica: after the Senate's 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 Corsica Assembly is convened in extraordinary session on 4 November, while a constitutional scholar 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 set for 9 November and then moved to 12 November. Femu a Corsica calls for boycotting the committee, the PNC refuses to participate, and the mayor of Ajaccio criticizes the method followed. On 5 November, the Assembly adopts a solemn resolution for a way out of the crisis; on 11 November, nationalist elected officials decline the minister's invitation, and the government cancels the 12 November meeting while stating it will continue the constitutional process.
