Territorial election in Corsica, 20-27 June 2021

With 67.98 per cent of the vote in the second round of the 2021 territorial elections, Corsican nationalism has achieved a level of support unique in Europe for a movement of this type. Among the non-nationalist lists, only the moderate right made it to the second round, while remaining far from its ambitions of victory. It is a new stage that has been reached in the nationalist progression and in the territorialization of the Corsican political system. In this article I discuss the renewal of the political offer, the victory of Gilles Simeoni and his party, and the new political order resulting from this election.
