🚫 Autonomy

Corsica is facing renewed tensions after the National Liberation Front (FLNC) publicly rejected the proposed autonomy plan for the island, labeling it a 'masquerade.' The clandestine group also issued threats against new residents, decrying what it described as a 'colonization of settlement' and criticizing supporters of the autonomy proposal. In other domestic news, an investigative report has shed light on the critical role of medical support for pedophiles in preventing recidivism and safeguarding minors, emphasizing measures beyond traditional judicial penalties. Meanwhile, two influencers received suspended prison sentences and a six-month ban from the Kick streaming platform for violent acts linked to the 'Jean Pormanove' channel, where a streamer tragically died in August 2025. Amid ongoing concerns about wildfires, a constructive approach to prevention has gained attention: the use of goats for preventative grazing in the Paca region. Herders are advocating for increased state support for this method, which is proving crucial in combating the spread of blazes across the country.
