The recent decentralisation laws passed with the oversight of interior minister Gaston Defferre had given other regions regional councils, but Corsica's institutions, created from the 1982 Defferre accords, remained in tact, giving Corsica a more autonomous government than other regions. As with the previous two Corsican elections in 1982 and 1984, it was difficult to garner a majority, as dissident parties and infighting were common. Leftist infighting resulted in a failure to properly create a coalition government as they had done in 1982, meaning the right got to retain the government and Jean-Paul de Rocca Serra maintained his position as president of the Corsican Assembly.Élections territoriales régionales et départementales Corse https://www.france-politique.fr/elections-corse.htm 2026-06-19 www.france-politique.frdata.gouv.fr https://www.data.gouv.fr/datasets/elections-regionales-1986-2010 2026-06-19 data.gouv.fr enDominique Antoni, "Corse : M.

Just two days after the 1986 elections, Max Simeoni of the Union of the Corsican People, alongside other autonomists and nationalists, raised accusations of electoral fraud by authorities in Haute-Corse. After a lengthy investigation by the French Council of State, the results of the election were annulled in Haute-Corse, and a by-election to elect the 33 members of the Corsican Assembly who were registered in Haute-Corse were put up for re-election in the 1987 territorial by-election in Haute-Corse.https://mediaclip.ina.fr/en/cab98026990-electoral-fraud-in-corsica.html Electoral fraud in Corsica en 2026-06-19 mediaclip.ina.fr2019-09-01 #corse StoriaCorsa 1987 « GHJUVAN’BATTISTA, FRATELLU DI U FRONTE, SIMU FIERU D’AVE CUMBATTUTU A FIANCU A TE, MAI UN CI SCURDEREMU DI TE, MAI » - https://www.corsicainfurmazione.org/79771/corse-storiacorsa-1987-ghjuvanbattista-fratellu-di-u-fronte-simu-fieru-dave-cumbattutu-a-fiancu-a-te-mai-un-ci-scurderemu-di-te-mai/2019/ 2026-06-19 fr-FRLewis Paul Times Special To the New York 1987-02-15 CORSICA DEATH AND TAXES: ONLY FORMER IS INEVTIABLE https://www.nytimes.com/1987/02/15/world/corsica-death-and-taxes-only-former-is-inevtiable.html 2026-06-19 The New York Times en-US 0362-4331 References Corsica Category:Elections in Corsica Category:20th century in Corsica
