FranceThe FLNC-Union des Combattants, a clandestine separatist group in Corsica, has strongly rejected the autonomy project currently under discussion for the island and threatened newcomers, accusing them of 'population colonization.' The group, which previously held a secret press conference in January 2024, called the autonomy initiative a 'farce,' claiming it negates the existence of the Corsican people and ignores decades of demands. They accuse supporters of the autonomy movement, nationalist parties like Femu a Corsica and others, as well as 'high-ranking manipulators' and financial elites of deceiving the population. The group also targets 'anti-mafia collectives' for supporting 'exceptional justice' policies. In addition, they condemn the influx of nearly 5,000 foreigners, mostly French nationals, who move to Corsica annually for work or second homes, calling this trend a form of 'population colonization.' Following these threats, the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into potential terrorist activities linked to the group.
