Korsika styrs centralt från Paris. Men nu sker protester. Korsikanerna utnyttjar nog att Macron inte vill ha någon större kris inför valet. De som vill ha mer oberoende har stöd i valen och nu verkar oroligheterna ha tilltagit efter det att en korsikansk terrorist i franskt fängelse attackerats. Han var fängslad för delaktighet i mordet på den franske "ståthållaren" på Korsika som sköts ihjäl 1998 med ett vapen som terroristerna stulit av den franska militären efter att ha stormat en militärförläggning på ön.
Hur blir den fortsatta utveckllingen på ön?
Kommer de att få mer oberoende?
Kommer protesterna att avta eller tillta?
Och alla andra frågor som påverkas av områdets förhållande till Frankrike.
Vad det låter på Frankrike så verkar det som om korsikanerna kommer att få mer oberoende om inte Macron lyckas förhala det hela över valet, gissar jag.

France may offer Corsica ‘autonomy’ as it struggles to quell protests
Interior minister says government, faced with major crisis before April presidential election, open to talks
Paris could offer “autonomy” to Corsica, the French government has said, suggesting the state might be willing to loosen its historic, centralised grip on the Mediterranean island as it struggles to calm violent protests.
It is unprecedented for a French government minister to suggest offering autonomy for Corsica, an island of 330,000 people
The protests on the island have created a major government crisis with just weeks before April’s presidential election.
The 40-year Corsican “national liberation” campaign of bombing and violence targeting French infrastructure, calmed in 2014 when armed separatists announced an “end to military operations”.
election successes at local and regional levels,
The protests broke out two weeks ago after a savage prison attack on a key jailed nationalist, Yvan Colonna, who was being held at a mainland French prison. He is in a coma ... Colonna was serving a life sentence for murder for being part of a group who assassinated Claude Érignac, the French state’s top official in Corsica, ... Demonstrations and riots have been continuing since the attack on Colonna on 2 March, which protesters blamed on the French government.
[Frankrike] said Colonna had been attacked in prison by a jihadist fellow inmate over “blasphemy”
Prosecutors said 102 people were injured on Sunday during clashes in Corsica’s second-largest city, Bastia. Of the injured, 77 were police.
... legislative powers, such as taxation, local economic development, and housing issues on the island known for the high number of holiday homes owned by non-Corsicans.
53% of those questioned favoured a degree of autonomy for Corsica, with 35% favouring the island’s outright independence from France.
