Emmanuel Macron he flew to Mayotte, an archipelago in the middle of the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar. It is one of the French departments that was hit by a cyclone devastating. The president of France showed up in a white shirt, as is his style. And he tried to calm down the rather agitated locals. But his speech was one of the clumsiest ever made. And what's more, he is too disconnected the microphone.
The Elysée was not only contested by the inhabitants of the Mayotte archipelago. But he also had the nerve to respond annoyed. “So – shouted Emmanuel Macron – why did you just tell me this? So, I tell you: everyone fights. You have experienced something terrible. Everyone fights, regardless of skin color. And don't oppose people, don't oppose people. If you oppose people, we're fucked. Because you are happy to be in France. Because if it wasn't France, what you wanted, you would be at sea again. There is no place in the Indian Ocean where people are helped so much.”
And again: “This is the reality. And therefore we cannot want to be a French department that does not function as soon as France is in solidarity. What is our territory in this region as in other places? Who provides the water, goods, operators sanitary as we want here? it is necessary for everyone to respect each other. We're going to go all the way, we're going to be a team here and so you have a reliable choice. You are a team, you divide yourselves…”.
