Corsica: Senate's rejection of the autonomy project and its aftermath
On 27 October 2026, the Senate rejected the constitutional bill on Corsican autonomy, triggering a political crisis with island nationalists. They subsequently withdrew from the Beauvau process, while several officials denounced accusations targeting the Corsican right, and movements called for an island referendum. The Corsican Assembly was convened for an extraordinary session on 4 November, and the government reaffirmed its intention to present a text to the National Assembly following a new phase of consultations. It proposed a strategic committee on 9 November, but Femu a Corsica called for a boycott and the PNC refused to participate for now. The mayor of Ajaccio criticised the method followed, on the eve of the extraordinary session.

Angle comparison for the whole story
The three sides share the factual observation of the senatorial rejection and the autonomist withdrawal, but diverge on attributing responsibility and on the scope to give to the crisis: the left stresses the responsibility of the senatorial right and the risk of radicalisation, the centre details procedural follow-ups and the positions of island actors, and the right highlights the impasse of the process and the defence of the republican framework against "communitarianism".
Left
Highlights the responsibility of the senatorial right in the failure, the "acute political crisis" and the risk of weakening moderate nationalists in favour of a harder line; cites Gilles Simeoni and the proposal for a referendum.
Centre
Prioritises tracking the process: government roadmap, strategic committee on 9 November, boycott by Femu a Corsica, extraordinary session of the Corsican Assembly, and gives ample voice to island elected officials of all stripes, including LR senators contesting the accusations.
Right
Emphasises the impasse and anticipated failure of the process, concern over a return to violence, divisions among nationalists, and relays the LR senatorial position against "communitarianism" in the Constitution; presents the rejection as a reminder of the Jacobean foundation.
