Question 38685 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Sylvain Brial draws the attention of the Minister for Overseas Territories to the situation of Wallisians and Futunians stranded in mainland France due to the scarcity of flights and health measures linked to the pandemic. For more than two years, Wallisians and Futunians have not been able to return to their place of life, especially students. In this, they are respectful like everyone of the basic precautions and necessary rules imposed by local authorities. As a result, they did not see the families again, and this is especially true for the students. For the latter, the situation is particularly difficult, as the Government has admitted, because they are victims not only of distance but also of isolation, having to work remotely like all metropolitan students. Today, relations with the territory are even more difficult due to the restrictions imposed by New Caledonia. The Republic cannot be satisfied with this situation in the long term and prohibit any relationship between one of its territories and the metropolis. The MP asks the Government what initiatives it is considering to put an end to this situation, and to offer all Wallisians and Futunians a solution allowing them to reconnect with their loved ones, to continue their studies, benefit from medical monitoring or have professional relationships. Can the Government schedule charters for them, and make a long-term commitment in this direction, by establishing a minimum exceptional crisis service? A campaign adapted to students and on-site to families should allow, on the one hand, needs to be properly estimated, but also allow interested people to get involved. prepare. Health precautions and vaccination require delays, and it is necessary that everyone can respect the administrative requirements established by the Government. In this case, it is also appropriate to consider opening up vaccination to the population concerned. While the pandemic continues, he therefore asks whether the Government intends to take the essential measures for lasting relations between the metropolis and the territory of Wallis and Futuna, in the long term; it is not only about the moral balance of the population but simply the maintenance of harmonious relations between the Republic and the territory of Wallis and Futuna.
