In Mayotte, the government is in real contempt

This is a serious setback that the government has just eliminated in Mayotte’s specific bill that was due to be presented to the Cabinet on Wednesday, February 2. This was announced by Sebastien Licornu, Minister of Foreign Affairs on March 31, 2021, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the administration of this Indian Ocean archipelago, and was the subject of extensive prior consultations with elected officials and social and economic actors. population, which suggested a fairly broad consensus in the territory.

As well as the negative opinion issued on Thursday, January 13th, “unanimous”, by the Mayotte County Council sounds like a disdain for the government.
