Environment, health, constitutional reform, deconcentration were the topics of the 24th Summer University of Régions et Peuples Solidaires helfd from 23th to 25th Agust. The alliance formed by a dozen of national movements* in the French State held the event in Aiacciu, Corsica, thanks to the National Corsican Party (PNC). RPS was formed in 1994.
RPS showed how centralism is disconnected from reality, and how the solution is in decentralization, autonomy and more power to the territories. It was supported by the growing French Green movement who links green politics with self-government. As Green leader Danie Cueff saif: "None can be Ecologist Without Being Regionalist Too". RPS also held its 25th Congress where Pèire Costa (Occitan Party) was again elected as "directeur".
Costa explains that RPS is a rising alliance: "Especially since the 2015 regional election where we have made progress. 2015 is the victory of the Nationalists of Pè a Corsica in Corsica. It is the score of the Alsatian movement that becomes the 3rd political force in Alsace. And then, there was the score achieved in the legislative elections of 2017: 3 deputies out of 4 in Corsica, 1 deputy Breton. And finally, the success of the European elections. It is clear that in the territories, people are becoming increasingly aware that the French policy, very centralized, is a dead end and that the project we are carrying can be a credible answer."
