France reaches agreement on autonomy plans for Corsica. France's Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin and Corsican top politicians agreed on a text for a corresponding constitutional reform.
First, the Corsican island parliament should debate the plan. President Emmanuel Macron could then introduce the project to the national parliament. It still remained unclear whether this could result in concrete advantages for Corsicans on the island, as Corsican politicians had hoped.. The relationship between Corsica and the government in Paris has long been considered difficult. For decades, Corsican separatists fought for more independence.
