Corsica encounters a new series of violence after the broadcast of a video of CRS singing the anthem of La Marseillaise on the day of the funeral of Yvan Colonna.

Demonstrations broke out in Furiani, near Bastia.

Report from our correspondent on the Island of Beauty, where the atmosphere is particularly tense.

In Corsica, the situation remains very tense.

Saturday, CRS from Brittany were filmed singing the anthem La Marseillaise in parallel with the funeral of Yvan Colonna.

What rekindle the tensions between the State and the separatists.

This Sunday, demonstrations broke out in Furiani, near Bastia.

The demonstration first began with a few slogans hostile to the French state, with songs.

Very quickly, the CRS fired tear gas canisters and brought out water cannons while some hooded demonstrators attacked the gates of the barracks.

"We were there just to show our presence", supports at the microphone of Europe 1 Antoine, a demonstrator.

"Did you see? Afterwards, they'll say it's us who are shooting. But it's them. Look, we have nothing at all. They looked for it, they found it!"

At the foot of a vehicle are firefighters near a demonstrator hit by a projectile.

He was cared for for several minutes.

"I had come to demonstrate calmly and as soon as I arrived, they gassed us, sent rubber bullets, but it's not going to happen as they believe, on the other hand."

"There is no difference in death"

Very determined demonstrators threw stones and Molotov cocktails.

Some even pushed two law enforcement vans back ten meters.

For the past hour, guerrilla scenes have been going on.

The reason for the anger is this famous video of the CRS.

Stéphanie is an activist of the Corsican Nation Party.

She explains: "There is one thing that is very important here. People are not asked to do the same thing as us, but we have respect for the dead. And as such, we have no explanation for the fact that we accompany our dead. There is no difference in death. We are all the same."

Meanwhile, the incidents continue.

The night promises to be rough around the CRS cantonment in Furiani.
