Estelle Youssouffa, the deputy of Mayotte, has challenged the Interior Ministry’s claim that 69.7% of the population has regained electricity after Cyclone Chido. She expressed surprise at the government’s communication and highlighted the ongoing challenges residents face. Youssouffa criticized the government’s narrative, suggesting it aims to project progress ahead of political visits. The visit of Marine Le Pen has raised concerns about the political implications of Mayotte’s recovery efforts amid broader issues like immigration and social inequalities in France.
