Significant Measures in Overseas Territories
The Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, and the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, had announced impactful and promising measures in July aimed at the overseas populations, who are victims of numerous inequalities. The former Minister Delegate for Overseas, Jean-François Carenco, had already started the groundwork. However, it's now the turn of Philippe Vigier, his successor, to continue the task and successfully handle the dossier. On November 23rd, it was announced that 10 measures have been successfully implemented, such as covering the cost of a round-trip ticket for students returning to the territory at Christmas or during the summer break, while 15 others are in the process of being implemented. This approach has been greatly applauded! A review was conducted in Martinique, Guyana, Saint-Martin, and La Réunion, and for the occasion, the minister is in communication with representatives (mayors, presidents of local executives, and parliamentarians, in particular) of the regions involved. Guadeloupe, Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, Saint-Barthélemy, and Mayotte were also involved. These meetings lasted two hours per territory. Other meetings will take place in the coming months to assess the progress of various projects.
