Tear gas canisters were thrown.Those present come to protest after the broadcast of a video this Saturday on social networks, on which we hear the CRS singing the Marseillaise during a barbecue, in their cantonment of Furiani.
According to several Corsican nationalists, this video was shot in full during the funeral of Yvan Colonna, Friday March 25. This video was notably posted on Twitter by Christine Colonna, the sister of Yvan Colonna.
Franceinfo was able to confirm on Saturday, from a close source, that a barbecue had indeed been organized in this CRS cantonment of Furiani. On the other hand, franceinfo does not have confirmation that the police sang the Marseillaise, nor that this video was shot during the funeral of the separatist.
