⭐ Core Definition: 2021 French regional elections

Regional elections were held in France on 20 June and 27 June 2021. At stake were the regional councils in metropolitan and overseas France including the Corsican Assembly, Assembly of French Guiana and Assembly of Martinique, all for a six-year term. The Departmental Council of Mayotte, which also exercises the powers of a region, also participated in this election, because the departmental elections were held at the same time. Eighteen regional presidencies were at stake, with thirteen in mainland France and Corsica, as well as five overseas. Though they do not have legislative autonomy, these territorial collectivities manage sizable budgets. Moreover, regional elections are often perceived as a mid-term opinion poll. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the regional and departmental elections were postponed, first to 13 and 20 June 2021 and then to 20 and 27 June 2021.

👉 2021 French regional elections in the context of Femu a Corsica

Femu a Corsica (Corsican pronunciation: [ˈfɛmu a ˈkorsiɡa]; lit.'Let's Do Corsica' or 'Let us make Corsica') is a Corsican autonomist political party. It was formed for the first time prior to the 2010 French regional elections in the form of a political coalition. The coalition members, Inseme per a Corsica, the Party of the Corsican Nation (PNC) and Chjama Naziunale, merged during the founding congress of the party in Corte on 15 October 2017. The PUDEMU (Pulitica è Demucrazia in Muvimentu) movement also merged into the new party. The PNC was later re-established in 2019. The leader of the party is Gilles Simeoni.

Following the victory of the Pè a Corsica list in the territorial elections of 2017, of which Femu a Corsica was a member alongside Corsica Libera, the party won 28 of the 63 seats in the Corsican Assembly. Gilles Simeoni was reappointed as President of the Executive Council of Corsica, which he has held since 2015. The party won 32 seats in the 2021 elections after the Pè a Corsica coalition split up.
