Corsica, the nationalists bet everything on the legislative

Discreet negotiations have started for the legislative elections which will take place on June 12 and 19, but it is still the conditional that prevails in these discussions of corridors on the candidates to present or not. For now, only one certainty: after his call for a boycott for the legislative Core in fronte will not present a candidate.

The risk of disunity

In the first constituency of Haute-Corse, Michel Castellani should not be threatened by a fratricidal duel. All eyes are on the second constituency. Jean-Félix Acquaviva defends a balance sheet there political, in particular with the national lobbying that he orchestrated around the rapprochement of the prisoners of the Erignac commando. The outgoing could however be weakened by the candidacy of Lionel Mortini, the mayor of Beglodère which left the territorial game in June has solid establishments in this former Giacobbist stronghold.

In the second district of Corse-du-Suda consensus would have been reached so that neither Femu a Corsica nor Corsica Libera presents a candidate against the PNC and Paul-André Colombani. On the other hand, things are still unclear in the first constituency of Corse-du-Sud, ultimate right-wing stronghold. Jean-Paul Carrolaggi who had missed the march of the second round for 13 votes in 2017 will return there and benefit from the support of the PNC and Corsica Libera. Will the party of the territorial majority present one of its own in a first round which would amount to a primary? This is what is at stake in these negotiations, over which the specter of the Colonna affair and the political process to come hangs.
