The new government announced on the day of national mourning? A member of parliament from Mayotte protests

The government's announcement could come this Monday, December 23, a day of national mourning for Mayotte.

A possibility which outrages the Mahorais MP Estelle Youssouffa (Liot), who denounces the “indecency” of François Bayrou and Emmanuel Macron and their “contempt for the Mahorais (es) always in absolute distress”.

This Monday, observes national mourning set by President Emmanuel Macron in solidarity with Mayotte, hit ten days ago by Cyclone Chido. At least 35 people died in this overseas department and 2,500 people were injured. Flags will be at half-mast throughout the country and a minute of silence will be observed at 11 a.m., particularly in public services. But after 11 a.m., will this moment of contemplation and emotion give way to the announcement of the new government?

Despite clear signs of progress on Sunday, the executive couple failed to unveil a new government this Sunday evening. So time is running out to meet the timing announced by the Prime Minister to provide France with a new government team “before Christmas”. The two men find themselves stuck between an announcement on Tuesday December 24, the eve of the holidays and the Christmas truce, or this Monday, a day of national mourning.

“Scenario of indecency and contempt”

This last possibility outrages the Mahoraison MP Estelle Youssouffa (Liot). In a message posted Sunday evening on X, she denounces “this scenario of indecency and contempt for the Mahorais still in absolute distress”.

A week ago, François Bayrou had already distinguished himself for having preferred to chair the municipal council of his city of rather than staying in to attend the interministerial crisis meeting devoted to Mayotte, which he followed by videoconference and not until its end.
