The leader of the National Rally is in Mayotte for a two-day visit, three weeks after the passage of Cyclone Chido. Marine Le Pen has arrived on familiar ground, since the RN convinced more than half of the Mahorais during the last elections.
We nickname her “Tati Marima”. Marine Le Pen has arrived in Mayotte. As soon as she arrived at the airport, the former president of the National Rally spoke about the Mayotte standing plan, promised by the executive. “I heard promises and I consider that the promises that were made to the Mahorais, who are in crazy suffering, should not be forgotten,” she explained.
Present on the island for a two-day trip, Marine Le Pen is keen to establish her popularity in Mayotte: “If it is necessary, of course we will be there to remind the government of the promises that have been made.” It must be said that the Mahorais are complaining about the slowness of repairs to the archipelago, almost completely destroyed by cyclone Chido.
Go further with Mayotte standing
To finance the reconstruction of Mayotte, the executive promised a special financing law with the Mayotte standing plan. For Marine Le Pen, this plan does not go “far enough”, although we still do not know what exactly it will consist of. According to the unsuccessful candidate of the last presidential elections, “an important component is missing which is a diplomatic component, without which many of the things that are promised will not be kept.”
Marine Le Pen also believes that we should not speak of “reconstruction” of Mayotte, but of “construction, since everything has been abandoned for so many years that it is necessary to build”.
What is Marine Le Pen’s program?
The leader of the RN deputies arrived by “a military flight”, according to her entourage. As reported The Expressshe should then meet civil security, then the residents. At the end of the afternoon, she will meet affected people in Madouzou. The program for Monday is not yet known.
