Residents of Mayott, the overseas region and at the same time the overseas department of France, who suffered from the Shido cyclone, called the President of France Emmanuel Macron to resign.
According to the French media, Macron’s visit to Mayutt continues. The French President arrived at the island five days after the tropical cyclone, which caused serious destruction in the region.
The night before, Macron ran into a negative reaction of the inhabitants of the city of Pamanji. Local residents complained about the lack of water and poor conditions after a cyclone that fell on the island, and also accused the Parisian authorities of inaction.
Locals said that the president of France is “lying”, and also chanted the slogans “resigned”, “water!”.
In turn, the French president told the crowd that he was not responsible for what had happened and accused Cyclone for everything.
Macron noted that “if the island of Mayotta was not in France, then the situation would be 10 thousand times worse.” “There is no other such place in the Indian Ocean, where people would provide so much help,” he said.
France announced on December 23 to the day of national mourning in connection with the death of people on the island of Mayott. Cyclone “Shido” took the lives of 31 people. In addition, another 2,500 inhabitants of the island suffered.
The recently appointed French Prime Minister Francois Bayru said that the government will submit a special bill to the parliament on the restoration of the Majet Island.
