The Syndicat des Travailleurs Corses (STC) has issued a warning of a possible “collapse of transport” in Corsica.
The union denounces a Territorial Continuity allocation frozen at €187m since 2009, which it says is insufficient given rising costs.
It highlights the planned sale of KALLISTE by La Méridionale, “a vessel financed by the Territorial Continuity fund”, which would lead to the loss of “nearly one hundred jobs”.
The STC also points to:
ongoing restructuring at Air Corsica (70 jobs lost);
a rapid weakening of Corsica Linea, facing cascading economic difficulties.
The union stresses that Territorial Continuity must be seen as a right, not a budget adjustment variable.
