Anger is brewing in the West Indies.

Guadeloupe then Martinique are shaken by an indefinite general strike, originally launched to protest against the vaccine obligation and the health pass, which has turned into a social crisis.

Expensive living, price of gasoline and gas, access to water, chlordecone… The State must respond to social anger and face several burning issues.

On the sidelines of the discontent, violence broke out leading to fires, looting, roadblocks and preventing patients from seeking treatment.

Do you understand the situation?

Are you worried about your family and friends?

Have you spoken out on the indefinite general strike?

Have you been criticized for not being "legitimate" to talk about it since you do not live in the territory?
