“There are not 70% of households that have electricity in Mayotte, that’s not true”. This is what deplored Estelle Youssouffa, MP for Mayotte, invited this Sunday January 5 on franceinfo. The elected Liot says to herself “surprised by the communication issued by Place Beauvau”. Saturday January 4, the Ministry of the Interior announced that “69.7% of the general population” in Mayotte was supplied with electricity again, three weeks after Cyclone Chido passed through the archipelago.
Mayotte: three weeks after the passage of Cyclone Chido, the feeling of abandonment of the Mahorais while “everything is urgent”
She suspects the government of wanting “show that things are moving forward”as promised by Prime Minister François Bayrou during his visit to the island, and before Marine Le Pen's trip there. “What is true is that the high voltage and medium voltage lines have been restored, but having electricity in your home is in the granularity, and there, it takes much longer”continues Estelle Youssouffa.
The member for Mayotte affirms “expect nothing” of Marine Le Pen's visit but believes that her trip “reflects the fact that Mayotte is at the center of the political game”. The department concentrates, according to her, “political contradictions and divisions” French at the national level, with “the subject of the impotence of the State, the subject of immigration, the subject of social inequalities, the colonial past and the management of overseas territories”. Estelle Youssouffa also deplores the fact that the other parties, and in particular the left-wing elected officials, have not yet come to Mayotte.
