Corsica: The Senate's rejection of the autonomy project and its aftermath
On October 27, 2026, the Senate rejected the constitutional bill on Corsican autonomy, triggering accusations between the island's right-wing and nationalists regarding responsibility for the failure of the Beauvau process. On October 28 and 29, several Corsican officials, including Jean-Martin Mondoloni, Nanette Maupertuis, Paul-Félix Benedetti, and Femu a Corsica, criticized this rejection, called for a referendum, or set red lines, while Nazione called for turning the page on Beauvau. The Corsica Assembly was convened for an extraordinary session on November 4, and a constitutional scholar doubted that a referendum could be locally initiated. On October 30, the government reaffirmed its intention to present a text to the National Assembly and announced new consultations, then proposed a strategic committee on November 9. Femu a Corsica called for boycotting this meeting, and the PNC refused to participate, before the Corsica Assembly adopted a solemn resolution to exit the crisis on November 5.

Angle comparison for the whole story
The three sides cover the Senate's rejection of the autonomy project, but the left emphasizes the political crisis and the risk of weakening moderate nationalists, the center follows institutional developments step-by-step (Corsica Assembly session, strategic committee), while the right highlights the anticipated failure, nationalist divisions, and the argument of communalism.
Left
The left points out the acute political crisis opened by the rejection, the responsibility of the senatorial right, and the risk of weakening moderate nationalists in favor of a harder, even violent, line. It cites Gilles Simeoni and the demand for a referendum.
Centre
The center focuses on procedural follow-ups: extraordinary session of the Corsica Assembly, government roadmap, refusal of Femu a Corsica and the PNC to participate in the strategic committee, and statements by local elected officials.
Right
The right presents the rejection as a predictable failure, highlights the argument of 'communalism' put forward by LR senators, and describes nationalists who were 'disappointed,' divided on what steps to take next.
