The leader of the deputies of the National Rally, Marine Le Pen, begins Sunday January 5 a two-day visit to Mayottewhere she plans to meet rescuers and victims three weeks after the passage of Cyclone Chido.
Marine Le Pen is due to arrive on the devastated island “at the beginning of the afternoon, by a military flight”, specifies her entourage. Once there, “she will meet civil security, then go to meet the residents”, before “a time of discussion planned for the end of the afternoon in Mamoudzou with disaster victims”.
The rest of his program Monday and Tuesday is not yet known, but “the objective is to meet the victims on several points of the island“. This visit by Marine Le Pen is “a sign of support (and) affection for our compatriots from Mahor,” said her spokesperson Laurent Jacobelli.
Marine Le Pen very popular in Mayotte
In this poorest department in France, plagued by strong migratory pressure particularly from the neighboring Comoros, the RN and its leader were acclaimed in the last presidential and legislative elections.
The party even obtained one of its first two parliamentary seats overseas last July. “Marine Le Pen is very popular in Mayotte”, where “the population is demanding her descent”, assures the Mayotte elected representative to the Assembly Anchya Bamana.
In any case, the reception promises to be less hostile than for the head of state, who was heckled during his visit, just a few days after the disaster. A attack that he will then attribute to “people from the National Rally”.
