The President of the Collectivity of Corsica,ย Gilles Simeoni, and Lehendakariย Iรฑigo Urkullu have signed a memorandum of institutional cooperation linking the two governments.

This agreement will last for five years and is focused on three areas, described thus by President Simeoni:

  • European affairs “to guarantee that the interests of small peoples are born in mind when building Europe”
  • Language policy: “The Basque Country is far ahead of us in this matterโ€ฆWe have a lot to learn”
  • The Diaspora, represented by four million people of Basque descent all over the world: “There are 193 centers supported by the Basque Government all over the world to organize the sharing and spread of Basque language and culture to all corners of the globe”

After signing the memorandum, it must be drawn up and approved in aย framework agreement that will precisely define the budget for this operation and the goals to be reached.

With the signing of this memorandum, Corsica joins the network of strategic relationships the Basque Autonomous Community already has with Flanders, Bavaria, Quรฉbec, and Jiangsu, among others.

Antoine Giannini, writing forย Corse Matin, brings us this news, and shares with us the great joy of the Corsican president over its signing, while reminding us that this is the culmination of a long process that has required many meetings.ย  The article itself references another article from October 2019 (which we also brought you); we’ll also leave you with a press release on the Basque Government’s Irekia website.

Pour un nationaliste corse, le Pays basque espagnol fait un peu figure d’eldorado. La rรฉgion autonome du nord de la pรฉninsule ibรฉrique est non seulement une des plus prospรจres d’Europe sur le plan รฉconomique mais elle est aussi celle qui a le plus de compรฉtences fiscales (elle lรจve l’impรดt), lรฉgislatives et dispose รฉgalement de quelques pouvoirs rรฉgaliens.
