This is Popular Front, a podcast focused on the niche details of modern warfare and underreported conflict with me Jake Hanrahan. Today we're speaking to Corsican journalist Jean Colenar.

He's going to be talking to us about what he calls the post-nationalist clashes in Corsica that started from the youth and evolved

into French holiday homes being bombed and burned down is a very tense situation

on the island this started when a Corsican militant prisoner

Ivan Colanar was beaten in a French jail and died a couple months ago now. It's spread all
