The project to include in the French Constitution a "status of autonomy" for Corsica "within the Republic" was approved Wednesday evening by the island Assembly. The text, composed of six paragraphs, was submitted to a vote in three parts, on the notion of Corsican community, the possibility of normative power granted to island elected officials, and finally the idea of submitting this text to Corsican voters via a popular consultation.
The date of the popular consultation of the Corsicans on this text has not yet been determined.
