At the beginning of Easter, while political talks were focused on future Catalan elections, a historic vote was held in Corsica. Its Assembly approved, by a large majority, a resolution supporting constitutional reform that recognizes the island's autonomy. If this reform amends the 1958 Constitution, other French departments may try to follow the same path. It will be difficult for them to achieve this goal, because France represents a model of a unitary state, which seems to be integrated with its national identity. If Corsica is on its way to adopting a constitution, it is because there is a broad consensus that supports it and a history that explains it.
