Valentin D’Hoore and Karen Joigny did not need that! On a cloud since they are expecting their first child and more in love than ever, the former candidate of Koh Lanta (2010) and his darling model decided to treat themselves to a little break together in Guadeloupe. On the program: relaxation, white sand beaches, turquoise water … and events.
Indeed, the couple unfortunately arrived at the wrong time on the island where, since November 15, a general strike was called. This is a protest movement against compulsory vaccination and the establishment of the vaccination passport. A subject that is raging with the inhabitants, who firmly oppose it. In recent days, clashes between demonstrators and the police have been recorded and have even claimed some victims. History of striking a blow, dams were also installed on a large majority of the roads to prevent traffic to hospitals and airports. On Monday, November 22, Valentin D’Hoore and Karen Joigny therefore saw the extent of the conflict. In story Instagram, they each filmed images of makeshift dams built using trees, car wheels or abandoned vehicles. Internet users were also able to discover that fires spread across the island.
The barricades are manned by hooded men
Necessarily, chaotic environment current brings great stress to Karen Joigny. “I did not expect to experience such horror, here in Guadeloupe, being pregnant … Since this morning, we have been trying in vain to reach the airport to return home to the metropolis but the many roadblocks and people wearing balaclavas have been pushing us back for 2-3 days … We do not know what to do.“, she lamented. And to clarify while warning:”For the moment, no solution to go to the airport … We have contacted the repatriation brigades, the PTP airport, the gendarmes … And unfortunately, nobody can do anything at present. So if you are planning to come here, I advise you to stay warm at home..“
Same observation on the side of Valentin D’Hoore. Katrina Patchett’s ex-husband confided that they were still out of danger. “End of the day. The barricades are manned by hooded men. Huge tension here. We resigned ourselves to returning to the starting point (safe). “
