The demonstration in support of Yvan Colonna, which took placee Sunday, March 13, gave rise to numerous clashes between demonstrators and the police. From Wednesday, Gerald Darmanin will go there to try to establish a dialogue.

Burnt archives, shattered windows… the director of the center finds it hard to believe. The demonstrators destroyed the new headquarters of the public finances. “We are civil servants but we are neutral, we do not play politics“, specifies Ludovic Robert, director of Public Finances of Haute-Corse.

Late in the evening, the violence continued. The balance sheet is heavy. 67 injured including 44 among the police. The Corsican nationalist deputies met in the National Assembly on Monday March 14 and called for a commission of inquiry to obtain the whole truth about the attack on Yvan Colonna in prison. A firm position from the executive is expected. “We must respond with clear actions and strong public words“, says Jean-Félix Acquaviva, nationalist deputy of Haute-Corse.
