US EditionFrench Senate to Vote on Post-Cyclone 'Refoundation' Bill for Mayotte
- The French Senate is set to vote on 28 May 2025 on a bill allocating nearly €4 billion for Mayotte's post-cyclone reconstruction and development.
- The bill follows Cyclone Chido's devastation more than five months earlier and aims to address Mayotte's ongoing crises including infrastructure damage and social challenges.
- It includes binding legislation, tax incentives through a new free zone, streamlined expropriation, and plans to achieve social convergence with mainland France by 2031.
- Overseas Minister Manuel Valls described the bill as laying the groundwork for a more hopeful future, while critics argued that it contains many commitments without providing a concrete plan for implementation.
- If approved, the bill could mark a renewed commitment to Mayotte but faces calls for transparency and tangible results amid ongoing despair and delays in reconstruction.
