Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, announced the end of land law on the 101st French department, Mayotte. The island, halfway between Madagascar and Africa, is facing a serious migration crisis.

The minister specified that the abolition of land rights in Mayotte, as well as the tightening of family reunification permitted by the Immigration law, will make it possible to “put an end to the territorial visa system”. “We will no longer have the possibility of being French when we come to Mayotte’, assured the minister.
