On December 23, Deputy Estelle Youssouffa condemned French Prime Minister François Bayrou’s choice to announce his government on a national day of mourning for cyclone Chido victims. Youssouffa highlighted the dire humanitarian situation in Mayotte, calling government communications ‘obscene’ and accusing officials of neglecting the island’s needs. She warned of potential anarchy as basic necessities like water remain scarce, and local populations are suffering greatly. Her insistence on the high number of presumed casualties contradicts official government estimates.
