The boss of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure asked Friday for “events” to Prime Minister François Bayou during his trip to Mayotte, judging that“three times” he didn't have “not sent the right signals” to the Mahorais since the passage of cyclone Chido in the archipelago.
In an open letter, the first secretary of the PS criticizes the new Prime Minister for not having surrendered “immediately” in the archipelago, to have announced the composition of its government on the day of national mourning and to have “seemed to seek to put the importance of the disaster into perspective”. “There is no doubt that if it were a French department, the attention paid would be increased tenfold”affirms Olivier Faure.
François Bayrou expected Sunday in Mayotte
“On all (the) questions which call for a return of the State to this French department, you will be able to count on constructive but demanding socialists so that your words are transformed into actions”he points out while François Bayrou is expected in Mayotte on Sunday. “Debris continues to pile up, raising fears of health risks, water and food remain rationed, electricity is cut off for half the population in the northwest of the island and in the razed shanty towns, the residents feel abandoned and are waiting for help”writes the leader of the PS.
“Can you tell us the progress of the census of deceased persons undertaken by the teams from the Prefecture and the Minister of the Interior?”he asks while the human toll still remains very uncertain, with 39 deaths officially counted. “Beyond reconstruction, it will also and above all be necessary to invest in this island in the Indian Ocean which has been ignored for decades as if its only interest had basically been to ensure a presence of France in this vast area. economic and maritime in the great game of global competition”he still insists.
