Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Edmond Simeoni (6 August 1934 – 14 December 2018)[1] was a Corsican doctor, politician and nationalist. He was the brother of Max Simeoni, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from 1989 to 1994 and father of Gilles Simeoni.[2][3][4]

Simeoni, together with his brother Max, were the leaders of the Aleria siege, which started the modern Corsican nationalism.[5]

Biography

Simeoni was born 6 August 1934 in Corte, Corsica.[6] His father was Ferdinand Simeoni, who was the mayor of Lozzi. He grew up in Francardu and graduated at the Bastia High School. He studied medicine and specialized in gastroenterology.[7]

Simeoni relocated in Bastia and practiced medicine there for several years. He died on 14 December 2018 at Ajaccio, Corsica. Thousands of Corsicans attended his funeral and a tribute that lasted for three days.[8] At the time of his death, he was considered the most prominent Corsican political figure in the past 50 years.[9]

Activism

Edmond and Max Simeoni participated in the elections during the 1960s without much success.[10] They then founded the Action Regionaliste Corse in 1967.[11] The organization was banned in 1973 but was revived as the Azzione per a Rinascita Corsa (Action for a Reborn Corsica, ARC).[11] Two years later, the Simeoni brothers led a group of 50 ARC militants and took over a French wine depot in Aleria.[11]
