Question 24593 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Jean-Philippe Nilor reminds the Overseas Minister that West Indian and Guyanese families have at least one child or relative living outside their country. Furthermore, the economic model, hitherto favored and jealously preserved by successive governments, has generated total dependence on these territories. As a result, flying is a recurring obligation for West Indian households. However, as it progresses application, territorial continuity turns out to be incomplete, unsuitable. In fact, it only takes place from overseas territories to mainland France and never between overseas regions. In addition, the professional training mobility passport has become a real tool for managing the massive exodus of active forces. No wonder there is resistance to opening access, on an experimental basis, to economic players. territories. At the same time, the price of plane tickets is increasing significantly between these departments, reaching prohibitive amounts for the populations concerned. These measures therefore prove to be discriminatory, pernicious, symptomatic of the undervaluation, or even the failure to take into account daily issues. Like the former Bumidom, they institutionalize - legalized expatriation - with the force of work, the reproduction of a colonialist pattern, a Colbertist approach to societies which, fortunately, is challenged by the test of time and geopolitics. Error after error, discrimination after discrimination have given a disastrous result to this policy. Today, the overseas territories have become very cumbersome, given the Government's budgetary choices. Thus, the cycle of deep cuts and Shameful inequalities prevail. They are the same ones who toast. We need to change the paradigm. Because we neither want to endure nor have obsolete policies imposed. We must open a new era, that of shared responsibility, that of political courage which dictates just and effective action. This is about putting an end to harmful practices that amount to a real permanent house arrest. The French Ultramarines also have the right to move in and out of their territories, in complete freedom, equality and fraternity. Isn't it? They neither wish nor must continue to be the adjustment variables of unjust and discriminatory policies. Because, in Martinique specifically, and in overseas territories more generally, the problems are known and we know how to resolve them sustainably. Will she finally consider them as elected officials capable of producing responses adapted to their needs? How would the imposed solutions be more relevant than theirs? Finally, he asks him if the commitment of local actors in the construction of tomorrow's overseas territories would be just another slogan on his part.
