Corsica in trouble??

[1DAY]

"AJACCIO, CORSICA: Picture taken from a TV monitor showing a group of hooded armed Corsican Nationalists of the FLNC-Union of Fighters holding a press conference. In addition to this video handed to France 3 TV network in Ajaccio, 08 December 2004, there was a press release of seven pages, claiming responsability of 8 bomb attacks which rocked the island lately and also a warning that the current truce might be broken."

These have been recurring events for the past 20 years and are now almost part of the Corsican 'folkore'. Nothing to worry about or, at least, no reason to worry more than usual.

The Corsican doumés 'Corsu su' are fiercely independent and attack any attempt at 'francisation' by blowing up 'French-owned' restaurants, summer residences and so on despite the fact that Napoleon Bonaparte was, indeed, Corsican by birth: this seems a glaring contradiction in historical and contemporary perspectives...

Oh, you mean 'terrorist tax' ? :)No, not 'terrorist tax', 'revolutionnary tax' (sounds better !) :) . In plain language it's called 'extortion' (but that sounds definitely ugly).
