“What shocks me are these images of violence, disorder and chaos”lamented on franceinfo on Friday March 11 the former minister of the Interior Brice Hortefeux, while violence has shaken Corsica for more than a week and the aggression of Yvan Colonna in the prison of Arles. “I note that today there is an inadmissible disorder in Corsica”, continued the MEP Les Républicains, special adviser to the presidential candidate Valérie Pécresse. Demonstrations of support for the nationalist militant, still in a coma, turn into confrontation with the police.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Jean Castex announced the lifting of the status of particularly flagged detainee for two members of the commando behind the assassination of the prefect Erignac, Pierre Alessandri and Alain Ferrandi, in a “spirit of calm” according to Matignon. Asked about the subject, Brice Hortefeux believes that “When we talk about Colonna, I think first of the Erignac family, their fear and the inadmissible act that was committed against a representative of the State in Corsica”.
