Corsica has obtained French National Assembly approval for a new, more independent, governing body

Corsica has obtained the approval of the French National Assembly for the establishment of a unique collectivity, a new governing body that has been long-demanded by Corsican parties. The new governing authority is set to merge, from 1 January 2018, three existing bodies, namely the current Corsican territorial collectivity and the island's two departments. That same model is being used in Martinique and Guiana. The move enjoys the support of the Corsican coalition government, made up of pro-autonomy and pro-independence parties. Assembly of Corsica president Jean-Guy Talamoni has stated in Corsican: «À rombu di travaglià, ciò chì paria impussibule — à certi, micca à tutti —, hè diventatu pussibule.» Translation: "Through hard work, what seemed impossible — to some, [but] not to everyone — has become possible." Article below in Corsican. [Corse.fr]
