After the passage of Cyclone Chido in Mayotte, Manuel Valls, the new Minister of Overseas Territories, affirmed, this Tuesday, December 31, on BFMTV, that “no one has been forgotten in the distribution of water and foodstuffs “.
“The Mahorais have experienced many ordeals. But life is resuming despite everything. National solidarity must be exercised in this extraordinary part of France,” he added.
According to him, in certain municipalities in the north of Mayotte, there is only “13, 20 or 30% electricity”. “It’s not enough, but we’re getting there,” he assured. “There’s still work to do. There’s anger and fear. But we’re getting there thanks to good will of all. Concerning vital needs, we are not far from achieving the essentials, even if there is still work to be done.”
“Stigmata”
From the passage of cyclone Chidothe inhabitants of Mayotte continue to ask for help, particularly in restocking water and food. François Bayrou and the members of the government who accompany him are therefore expected at the turning point this Monday.
Manuel Valls indicated that there would “necessarily be stigmata”, because crops like bananas or cassava “require time”. He also highlighted the reconstruction of schools, colleges and high schools before the start of the school year. The Overseas Minister was keen to display the State's “political ambition” and “objectives”, in particular “to put an end to insecurity”.
According to him, it will also be necessary to “gradually evacuate the shanty towns” and begin “deportations to the border”: “We have no other choice. If we continue to let this happen, we will destabilize the territory which still has difficulties. “
