“We must lock our border which is left wide open», Says on France Info the elected member of the LIOT group (Freedoms, Independents, Overseas and Territories) in the National Assembly. “It is finally absolutely necessary a change of tone and speech with Comorosthat they be sanctioned for the migratory pressure they exert in Mayotte.»
Estelle Youssouffa believes that, in France, “it is very difficult to take the measure of the crisisthat Mayotte goes through. “Ten years ago, the reports are clear, there was not a single violence on people.“Half the population of the island, continues the MP, “is currently foreign“. “Mayotte can no longer.» Degradation of public services, insufficient infrastructure for «demographic change“. “It’s just that everything is saturated. (…) We undergo the migratory flux.»
