“It doesn’t bring us anything, immediately scaths a merchant from the old town. They do not seek contact And stay between them, but they restrict traffic and block us to work. Yesterday (Saturday, August 2, note), I have a customer who had to park at La Fortress and come on foot to recover his order. Others called me, hesitating to come because of this. So I wonder, why not move to Chabrières or Grosetti, where there is a lot of space and parking lots? “
For the past ten years, the Ghjurnate Internaziunale – flagship political event of the independence movement – have been organized at the Citadel of Corte. Top, scene, counter and stands are installed against the ramparts and in a parking lot which, the rest of the year, can accommodate up to a hundred vehicles, all during one of the most loaded weekends of the summer. So many elements that tense the traders, and some residents.
François has always lived there and it was for parking that he had to organize: “I went up the street in reverse to reach a location, I parked my car and I will not touch it until it is finished, otherwise I will never find a place!” Another resident came up against a refusal to pass and confides having had to “rack“ For the barrier to move away.
When the car parks are blocked, “attendance drops automatically”
During the two days of the Ghjurnate, barriers were installed upstream of the Citadel, and an order service mandated to regulate the flow of cars. “People don’t circulate, it panics“blows Sabrina, who still recognizes that the event has brought people back into her shop, “Because there is no equivalent stand on the producer market they organize”.
