Elsewhere on the West Indian island, "some attempts to reinstall dams were thwarted, in particular on the RN 4 towards Sainte-Anne", indicates the representative of the State for whom "all the roads of Guadeloupe are today 'hui cleared and Guadeloupeans can once again circulate throughout the territory ”. "They have lifted all the roadblocks but the fight continues", supported Max Evariste, secretary general of FO, in a press conference of the collective of organizations mobilized against the vaccine obligation against Covid-19 for caregivers and firefighters.
