Overseas Minister Sébastien Lecornu has faced many opponents in Guadeloupe since his arrival on Sunday, November 28. Monday, in the 23 hours of Franceinfo, the journalist of France Télévisions Jean-Baptiste Morteau details the course of its movement.
Overseas Minister Sébastien Lecornu visited Guadeloupe on Sunday November 28. A move that is not obvious at the moment. “Unions that leave after ten minutes, mayors only by videoconference. But we can say that his tactic of firmness displayed in demanding that the trade unionists unambiguously condemn the acts of violence committed against the police and gendarmes, it was, of course, a risky strategy in the short term, but perhaps not in the long term“, says the journalist of France Televisions Jean-Baptiste Marteau, in duplex from Pointe-à-Pitre in the 23 hours of Franceinfo Monday, November 29.
The journalist explains that he would have been “surprising to see an overseas minister start to give in on the issue of sovereignty and security, with oppositions in France who would necessarily have howled in the face of a weak government”. In addition, this strategy is “assumed and desired by Emmanuel Macron who had several times during the day Sébastien Lecornu on the phone”. Finally, Jean-Baptiste Marteau underlines that “The state forces, in a way, with this strategy, the elected Guadeloupeans to assume their security position vis-à-vis a population which is already very critical of its political class”. Sébastien Lecornu is now on his way to Martinique.
