(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. Corsica's court has
banned the use of the Corsican language in the public institutions
of the French island, trend reports.
The court's decision on Thursday banned the Corsican Assembly
from allowing the use of this language during debates, as it was
unconstitutional.
The decision was made because the administration of Emmanuel
Macron was negotiating with local politicians to grant Corsica
greater autonomy. The lawsuit was filed by the Prefect of Corsica,
the highest official of the central government on the island.
The UNESCO Cultural Agency believes that the Corsican language,
which is similar to standard Italian and has about 150,000
speakers, is endangered.
Thus, this decision has caused great discontent among Corsicans.
As a result, protests have erupted. France once again has
demonstrated its true, hypocritical attitude to the human rights
issue. This is a typical case of discriminatory and breach of
international law.
