In Mayotte, Marine Le Pen accuses the federal government of abandoning the island “to chaos” | EUROtoday

Two emblematic websites of all of the crises in Mayotte. Two locations to renew a well-rehearsed speech mixing emotion, indignation and condemnation in a territory the place she achieved amongst her finest scores within the 2022 presidential election (59.10% within the second spherical). Traveling on this division of the Indian Ocean to help Jordan Bardella's listing within the European elections on June 9, Marine Le Pen adopted her frequent thread: telling the Mahorais that they’re “those among the French who suffer the most” and that they’re “ abandoned » by the government despite ” chaos [qui] settled down ” due to illegal immigration and insecurity. Themes that can be transposed to the national level for her.

And put together meager meals on small makeshift braziers. No working water, no bogs. During the day, they search out any shady house to flee the scorching solar.

Convinced that the regional well being company “doesn’t say everything”, residents are fearful in regards to the threat of a cholera epidemic introduced by these migrants arriving in kwassa-kwassa – gentle boats – by way of the Comoros. Faced with members of the neighborhood collective, Marine Le Pen names the culprits: successive governments. Before emphasizing that “the Mahorais accept things that no other French would accept”.
