(Adnkronos) – French President Emmanuel Macron has pledged to “rebuild” Mayotte on the basis of new “criteria” after the devastation caused by Cyclone Chido, and has also called for an intensified “fight against illegal immigration”. Macron also rejected accusations that the government had “abdicated” in the face of the devastation.
“Everyone must accept that, in terms of skills and rules, things must change – he told reporters from Mamoudzou, and – step up the fight against illegal immigration, while obviously restoring schools, rebuilding homes, rebuilding hospitals, etc.” “I cannot allow it to be said that the State has abdicated here – he continued – We will create a compensation fund to help those who are not insured”.
