Baku, Azerbaijan, March 29. France must
acknowledge its colonial crimes, particularly against Corsica, and
correct historical injustices, member of the Nazione independence
movement (Corsica) François Benedetti said, Trend reports.
He made the remark during the international conference on
“Colonialism: the destruction of religious and national identity”
organized by the Baku Initiative Group.
“We are here to talk about the problems we are facing. But above
all, I am here to express my solidarity with all my brothers in the
struggle – the Caribbean, Guyana, the South Pacific, and other
countries that suffer from French, Dutch, and other types of
colonialism,” said Benedetti.
He stressed that Corsica, although part of France, still remains
in a subordinate position.
“France took our history from us and hid it. We don’t accept
that our ancestors are Gauls. The Gauls never set foot on Corsica.
We see that this is a lie, and we are fighting to restore our
historical identity,” he added.
