The question was formulated by the right during its debate on Sunday evening: why the Minister of Overseas, Sébastien Lecornu, does not go to Guadeloupe, where the situation is flaring up against a background of opposition to the vaccination obligation for caregivers and firefighters?
Invited on France 2 this Monday, the minister assured that the question of a trip with the ministers of Health and the Interior arose "
from Friday morning
".
The choice was, however, that of remaining in metropolitan France so as not to present a "
particularly significant overload for the police
".

The arrival of Sébastien Lecornu is not ruled out, however. “
We're going to go there, in Guadeloupe
,” he insisted.
Because, moreover, every time there is a major crisis in the Overseas Territories, I go there.
"According to him, the subject of his presence there, put on the table by the contenders vying for the Congress of the Republicans - his former political family - is more"
politician
", while he says he wants to be interested in" the
bottom
". "
I dispute this kind of show politics in which we would have to go and stir in front of the cameras on the spot,
" he swept. Preferring thus to spend time "
day and night by telephone to consult the trade unions
".
"
Ask the political parties, the local elected officials, the mayors, the parliamentarians, they do not ask for a trip of the minister in the minute
", he again indicated.
"A violent and active minority"
At this stage, the minister did not wish to specify when this trip will take place.
Instead, Sébastien Lecornu touted a “
relentless
”, “
stiff
” and “
firm
”
government response
.
While denouncing the action of “
gangs
”, of “
thugs
” already “
unfavorably known to the police or the justice system
” and who “
are using this crisis to express themselves in violence
”.
Regarding the main subject of the claims, namely the vaccination obligation of caregivers and firefighters, the member of the government also reiterated that "
the law of the Republic
" will continue to apply, and that the reverse would be "
scandalous
".
"
We do not say to the 1,400 people suspended, move around there is nothing to do,
" he said, however, while a "
forum for dialogue
" must allow management "
on a case-by-case basis
" of the caregivers and firefighters concerned. .

very difficult
" situation.
Without failing to warn against "
the demand of a violent and active minority which consists in saying, no vaccination in Guadeloupe
", and to call on the political class to "
condemn these acts
" rather than to remain in the "
fight politician
”.
