Press release
The mobilisation of the Corsican people is intensifying, with a massive mobilisation in Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, general assemblies, a very important participation of the youth and in particular of the women’s movement.
The NPA renews its support for this anti-colonial mobilisation triggered by the assassination attempt against Yvan Colonna but which has much wider roots: low wages, property speculation, unemployment, especially of young women, the contempt for the social, democratic and cultural demands of the Corsican people.
We denounce the ferocious repression, ordered by Macron and Darmanin, which has already caused many injuries among the youth.
We give our full support to the current mobilisation, in particular the large demonstration of 13 March, which we welcome.
We demand an immediate end to repression, the release of all Corsican political prisoners, the immediate lifting of the DPS status for Ferrandi and Alessandri, reconciliation in Corsica, the recognition of bilingualism and the right to self-determination and national sovereignty of the Corsican people.
NPA, Montreuil, 11 March 2022
