The anti-terrorism prosecutor's office has opened an investigation following threats from the FLNC-UC

The National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor's Office has opened a preliminary investigation for conspiracy to commit terrorist acts. This decision follows a clandestine press conference held by the FLNC-UC, reported on Wednesday by the daily newspaper Corse-Matin. The movement's first public appearance since 2024, this event was marked by threatening remarks directed at non-Corsicans. Members of the group ordered them to stay home, using rhetoric reminiscent of the darkest hours of Corsican nationalism.

A radical rejection of autonomy

The FLNC-UC used this platform to strongly reject the autonomy plan currently under discussion for Corsica. This position reflects a division within the independence movement, where some see autonomy as a step forward while others interpret it as a surrender. The threats made against people coming to live on the island reveal a strategy of intimidation that goes far beyond institutional debate. The stated objective appears to be to control migration flows to the island, even at the cost of verbal violence.

The opening of this investigation demonstrates the authorities' vigilance in the face of any resurgence of separatist violence in Corsica. The anti-terrorism prosecutor's office now has the necessary investigative resources to identify those responsible for these statements and determine whether they are accompanied by concrete preparations. The question remains whether this small group still possesses the operational capacity to carry out an attack or whether it is merely engaging in media posturing intended to influence the ongoing negotiations.
