"I respect the freedom to vote but if we want a good discussion with the government" on the institutional future of Corsica, "it may be necessary that we are not on a frontal opposition on other subjects," said on France 3, the deputy of Corse-du-Sud, the only Corsican elected of the majority.
"I ask them to take responsibility and tell themselves that everything is holding together today. We are in a complicated political situation. If tomorrow we are in a political crisis, if tomorrow there is a government that falls, the future of Corsica, through the reform they are calling for, seems to me a little less certain, "added the deputy in the program "Sunday in Politics".
He explained that it was a "friendly warning" to MPs Jean-Félix Acquaviva (Haute-Corse), Michel Castellani (Haute-Corse), and Paul-André Colombani (Corse-du-sud). The Liot Group's bill is due to be examined on 8 June in the hemicycle of the Assembly.
Discussions on the institutional future of Corsica have been stalled for several months. However, a strategic committee is to be held Thursday in Paris, under the aegis of Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, with Corsican elected officials.
President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed in February that he had "no taboo" on this subject, including on autonomy, nor a "predetermined solution". He also reiterated his two "red lines": the maintenance of "Corsica in the Republic" and "the refusal to create two categories of citizens".
