France approves €4bn plan to rebuild Mayotte and tighten migration rules
Seven months after cyclone Chido struck Mayotte, France’s poorest department, parliament has passed a sweeping plan to help rebuild the island, address social divisions and tighten migration rules.
As a result of a compromise between MPs and senators, the text had been validated on Wednesday by the MPs, with the support of the government coalition and the far right. It was adopted in the Senate by 228 votes to 16.
In particular, the text declines four billion euros of public investment over six years and enshrines in the law the principle of aligning social rights with those of Hexagon by 2031.
The text of the government was voted on Thursday, July 10 by the Senate. It intends to respond to the immense challenges of the archipelago devastated by Cyclone Chido but is criticized by the left for its very safe orientation.


A final vote in favour of the Senate, with 228 votes to 16, allowed this text to succeed. It now awaits its promulgation by the President of the Republic. This text will constitute "a step towards better protection of the Mahorese, towards real equality, towards concrete and sustainable development".
The Act provides for numerous investments, alignment of social rights and measures to combat immigration and illegal housing.
