The upper house of the French Parliament by 181 votes to 134 rejected the constitutional reform providing autonomous rights to Corsica. Senator Paolo Farigi, one of the leaders of the autonomists, left the meeting room in protest, and the autonomist movement Femu à Corsica ("Rebirth Corsica") said on social media that it would continue the fight for autonomy. The French authorities said that they will continue to cooperate with the representatives of the local authorities. Corsicans are a sub-ethnic group of Italians, the indigenous population of Corsica. In addition to supporters of a peaceful divorce from France, there are also supporters of armed resistance to the French presence on the island.
