Fort-de-France experienced two nights of violence, on July 17 and 18.

Clashes between rioters and the police began on the sidelines of a demonstration against health restrictions.

Businesses were looted and vehicles set on fire.

The protest against the health pass and compulsory vaccination of caregivers also mobilized many demonstrators in Guyana, Réunion and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

The stimulus plan initiated by the French government last year aims to encourage the agricultural sector to adopt more environmentally friendly production methods.

In Reunion Island, a farmer is counting on this state aid to acquire equipment that would allow him to support his efforts for more virtuous agriculture.

The good idea of ​​the week comes from New Caledonia.
