The Minister of the Interior counterattacks.
While the announcement of the abolition of land law in Mayotte this weekend aroused the ire of the entire left, who see it as a break with republican principles, Gérald Darmanin, who returned from a visit to the island, calls on this part of the political class to become aware of the difficulties that the Mahorais face on a daily basis.
Some of which have been increasing blockages in recent weeks to denounce the continued flow of immigration or the prevailing insecurity.

PODCAST - Listen to the Le Figaro Politique club with Yves Thréard
In an interview with
Ouest-France
,
published Monday evening, the tenant of Place Beauvau justifies himself.
Being in no way
“ideology”
, but
“pragmatism”,
it only responds to a
“demand”
from
“the local population”
.
Including, according to him, the local manager of La France Insoumise.
And to take out the gloves against his detractors.
These
“beautiful Parisian minds”
, as Gérald Darmanin describes them, and whom he
“has heard since Sunday criticize this decision on the law of the land”
are therefore urged to
“get out of the ring road.”
And to
“go to Mayotte”
.

Faced with the women who, mainly coming from the Comoros, arrive to give birth at the Mamoudzou hospital, the minister promises, thanks to the current crisis, a
“very important change in our law”.
Which
“will restore hope to Mayotte.”
To do this, however, there remains one step: modifying the Constitution and differentiating the rules in force in mainland France from those applied in Mayotte.
An upcoming meeting of Congress?
If the government announced again this Monday morning, through the voice of the Secretary of State for Citizenship and the City Sabrina Agresti-Roubache, that the hypothesis of a referendum was
“on the table”
, Gérald Darmanin, he , favors the other passageway.
And appeals
“to the President of the Republic (to) convene the Congress”
.
Or the meeting of the National Assembly and the Senate in Versailles.
Unsurprisingly, this constitutional reform was applauded on the right and in the National Rally.
Which parliamentarians should undoubtedly vote for.
A favorable wind which leads the Minister of the Interior to have
“no doubt”
about the possibility of obtaining a so-called 3/5 majority of parliamentarians, a necessary step to modify the 1958 text. But before declaring victory, the minister hammers home his message:
“I see that what we are doing for Mayotte, no one has ever done it before.
The Mahorais largely adhere to this announcement on land rights.”
