“United for Mayotte”: this is the name of the solidarity program offered by France 2 on Tuesday evening. The channel had disrupted its programs to offer an evening of support to help the populations devastated by the passage of Cyclone Chido. Objective: to call on the French to make donations. The evening, presented by Nagui and Karine Baste, welcomed several artists such as Marc Lavoine, Nolwenn Leroy, Thomas Dutronc, Kimberose and Cali. The show attracted 1.06 million viewers, or 6.8% of the public according to Médiamétrie.
Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke on the France 2 set Tuesday evening. Regarding the human toll of the victims which remains difficult to know, Nagui pointed out that part of the population of Mayotte was not recorded. François Bayrou responded: “It is a population which, from the point of view of the papers, is illegal but from the point of view of life, they are men and women…” Nagui then cut the Prime Minister off: “Is it the topic today whether it’s legal or not?” “Exactly no,” replied François Bayrou, assuring that “everyone is Mahorais.”
