After two postponements for different reasons, the Ministry of the Interior has just indicated to AFP that a meeting would be held after the legislative elections, without specifying a date.

A question that stirred the presidential campaign, while the island was set ablaze after the fatal attack on Yvan Colonna, in prison in Arles, on March 2.

A document co-signed in mid-March by Gérald Darmanin and the autonomist president of the Executive Council of Corsica, Gilles Simeoni, had specified that the "perimeter" of these meetings would cover

"all Corsican issues"

, including

“the institutional evolution towards a status of autonomy which remains to be clarified”.

With two red lines not to be crossed for the government: the exit of Corsica from the Republic and

“the creation of two categories of citizens”

.
