Corsica Libera warns to expropriate the people without justifying residence in Corsica

In a leaflet distributed in the streets of the island, the independence movement threatens to expropriate the people who have bought real estate since April 2014 without justifying five years of permanent residence in Corsica.

The independence movement does not hesitate to threaten the buyers candidates "foreign to Corsica": "We want to warn them that we will engage, as soon as we have the opportunity, a process of expropriation all real estate acquired in Corsica since April 24, 2014 by natural or legal persons who do not fulfill the conditions laid down by the deliberations of the Assembly of Corsica.

But the leader of the independence movement wants to go into force by a roundabout way: "We want all Corsican society to mobilize.It is in the interest of everyone.It must be known that in Corsica, is like that Resident status is a response to a lot of things. "

As a reminder, this device voted at the Assembly of Corsica under the mandate of Paul Giacobbi reserves the purchase of real estate on the island under certain conditions: people, whatever their origin, must justify five years of residence in permanent title. Corsicans living abroad must be born in the island or have a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent born in Corsica. Those who have a parent, grandparent or great-grandparent buried in Corsica are also accepted.

Words that also show a form of helplessness in the face of the sharp rise in real estate prices on the island: "A territory where Corsica becomes the last of the Mohicans ...".
