Corsican Autonomy: In Corte, Independentists Compare the Beauvau Process to a "Political Diktat of the State"

This is a string that aims to derail the Corsican autonomy process known as "Beauvau," presented on July 30th at the Council of Ministers. Speaking at the ^43rd edition of the International Corte Days, held on August 2nd and 3rd in the citadel of Haute-Corse, the Nazione independence party, through its spokesperson, Petr'Anto Tomasi, reiterated its clear opposition to a process that has been compared to a "political diktat of the State."
