Corsica Nazione

[1] The group supported the nationalist paramilitaries of the Corsican conflict, and many of the parties in the coalition were political wings of various armed factions.

Corsica Nazione formed in January 1992 through a turbulent alliance of five separatist parties: A Cuncolta Naziunalista, the political wing of the National Liberation Front of Corsica-Canal Historique, Accolta Naziunale Corsa (ANC), the political wing of Resistenza, I Verdi Corsi, a nationalist party focused on green politics in Corsica, Per u Paese, a small group, and the Unione di u Populu Corsu (UPC), one of the oldest Corsican nationalist parties.

[4] In May 1994, the UPC resigned from Corsica Nazione, citing the assassination of Robert Sozzi, a former FLNC-CS member who was killed by his own organisation in June 1993 after opposing the methods of arms trafficking and money laundering within the FLNC.

However, the UPC, no longer part of the coalition, filed a case of fraud with the council of state after losing the threshold for a seat by only 41 votes.

In 2004, President of Corsica Nazione Jean-Guy Talamoni announced the formation of a new electoral alliance: Union Naziunale.
