For the first time, the newly elected President of the french Federation is today celebrating the National Corsican Heritage Day to honor and thank a great community at the Elysees Palace. Awaiting the President, the garden is now full of people representing every area of talent of the Island from arts, sports, business to elected officials who, we were told, will deliver the first part of his speech in Corsican. Many will be today honored to thank their great services for the year with a special for the Corsican Education Dept.

The President when finished with the first part of his speech apoligised for his less than perfect accent in the native language of his audience sparkling some good laughs and added, "Well, at least for now, you guys are still with us, hopefully we'll have next year another great day of celebration of the Corsican Heritage, if not I guess we'll be opening diplomatic ties...." ( more laughter)

Just wondering, why is it that I never saw that before?
