Come to try to appease the social crisis in the West Indies, Sébastien Lecornu is obliged to admit that his visit to Guadeloupe on Monday ended in failure.
A breakdown in dialogue with the inter-union first, followed by new incidents, just after the departure of the Minister of Overseas Territories, on the night of Monday to Tuesday.
An attempted fire occurred in front of the entrance to the town hall of Basse-Terre in Guadeloupe where unknown people set tires on fire, police said.
Mayor André Atallah had gone the day before to meet demonstrators at a roadblock.
In addition, a dam has resumed in Rivière-des-Pères, where it is regularly raised by the police and then reinstalled.
Another was erected near the regional council, police said.
Dams in Martinique
In Martinique, where the minister arrived Monday evening, the night was calm, said the gendarmerie.
Dams were erected, however, especially on the highway, cutting the island in two.
According to the gendarmerie, two people were arrested for attempted burglaries.
Born from the refusal of the vaccination obligation for caregivers and firefighters, the movement has spread to political and social demands, in particular against the high cost of living, and has caused violence, looting and fires, as in Martinique.
The two islands are placed under curfew.
