The French overseas department is reeling from a devastating cyclone, and residents’ anger boiled over during a visit from French President Emmanuel Macron.
French President Emmanuel Macron engaged in a war of words with locals in an angry exchange during his two-day visit to Mayotte.
However, amid tense scenes, Macron was heckled on Thursday night by local people who were furious at France’s response to the disaster.
“If you pit people against each other, we're scr*wed, because you're happy to be in France.
Because if this wasn't France, you'd be 10,000 times more in the sh*t.”.
“Macron humiliated the relatives of thousands of victims,” Alma Dufour, an MP for the far-left France Unbowed party, wrote on X.
“We've got the biggest human catastrophe since World War II and we're putting on a Macron show,” said Sandrine Rousseau, a Green MP, in an interview with France 2. »
