Mayotte: the collective Ré-MaA demands public apologies from deputy Jean-Paul Lecoq

Violation of Zena M’Déré's Memory

The authors of the letter denounce the treatment reserved for Zena M’Déré, a central figure in the movement for French Mayotte. According to the collective, the remarks made in the chamber have discredited this figure "whose commitment, courage and determination have profoundly marked the history" of the island. The organization protests against these "approximate judgments" made at a time when the territory is preparing to pay homage to her.

Challenge to Ideological Positions

The organization contests the analyses of the deputy, asserting that they reflect "ideological convictions of extreme left political figures" rather than lived reality. While acknowledging freedom of expression, the collective invites the elected official to leave the capital and meet the population directly. It demands "precise explanations" from him and asks for respect for the inhabitants' choices as well as their "deep aspirations."
