Corsica autonomy plan clears first hurdle in divided French parliament

Corsica's push for greater autonomy has taken a significant step forward as French lawmakers have approved a constitutional reform that would grant the island more powers while retaining overall state authority in Paris. This move could reshape Corsica's relationship with mainland France, potentially leading to more self-governance. The divided parliament's support signals a historic shift, reflecting broader debates on regional autonomy across France, which could have implications for other regions seeking similar changes.
