After the passage of Cyclone Chido, François Bayrou will make his first trip to Mayotte as Prime Minister. Bruno Retailleau then Emmanuel Macron had gone there in recent weeks.
François Bayrou will travel this Sunday, December 29 and Monday, December 30 to Mayotte, ravaged by Cyclone Chido, we learned this Thursday, December 26 after a meeting on the situation on the island. A day of national mourning was declared Monday, December 23. The human toll from Cyclone Chido stands at 39 dead and more than 4,000 injured, according to a new count published Tuesday by the prefect of Mayotte. Before him, Emmanuel Macron and Bruno Retailleau had also gone there.
François Bayrou held a meeting on Wednesday, from Pau by videoconference with some ministers, on the situation in the archipelago, particularly on the question of reconstruction and housing. A new meeting was held this Thursday in Matignon. Reinforcements have come from the mainland and a special law will be presented to the Assembly to facilitate the reconstruction of the island.
Élisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls to accompany her
The Prime Minister will be accompanied by the Minister of State for Education, Higher Education and Research, Élisabeth Borne, as well as the Minister of State for Overseas Territories, Manuel Valls.
Valérie Létard, Minister of Housing, and Yannick Neuder, Minister of Health as well as the delegate minister and former senator of Mayotte, Thani Mohamed Soilihi, in charge of Francophonie and International Partnerships will also be on the trip.
Chido is the most devastating cyclone that Mayotte has experienced in 90 years and on December 14 caused colossal damage in the poorest department in France, where emergency services have since been hard at work to restore essential services such as water, electricity and communications networks.
