Strike paralyzes Corsica – Swiss tourists also affected

There has been a strike on the French island of Corsica since Thursday evening. Airports and ports are no longer operational. Swiss tourists are also affected.

The timing couldn’t have been more inappropriate. Shortly before the start of the holidays in many parts of Switzerland, there is a strike in Corsica – a popular travel destination for Swiss tourists.

watson spoke to a user who actually wanted to drive from Livorno to Bastia on Friday. But the strike thwarted her plans.

According to the user, everything is at a standstill and no ferry runs to the French island anymore. All airports are also affected by the strike.

At the moment, tourists have no choice but to wait. Information is sparse, says the user.

According to French media reports, the strike was spontaneous. The reason is therefore a conflict between employees of the Corsican Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the French state. How long the strike will last is currently unclear. (ome)
