Yesterday, the population and representatives of Saint-Martin, Sint Marteen and Anguilla attended Marigot at the traditional National Day parade, followed by a ceremony to award distinctions to several firefighters and gendarmes on the island. It was the first of July 14 for the prefect of the Northern Islands Anne Laubies.
On the seafront, it was the president of the Aline Hanson community who opened the series of speeches. July 14 is also the feast of Marigot, and the president took the opportunity to take stock of the progress concerning the development of the city center.
“The actions undertaken will aim to launch a certain dynamism by involving all the inhabitants of the district” and “this new attractive urban framework” will be “favorable to the development of shops and activities”. Ms. Hanson also mentioned other subjects, including the redevelopment of the site of the old carbets at Orient Bay. In front of the many guests, Senator Guillaume Arnell returned to the service of July 14, and addressed the young people. The primary objective of the Collective is to ensure that young people “do not lose confidence in their ability to achieve”, he said. As for the deputy Daniel Gibbs, after having praised the charms of the territory to the prefect, he pointed out the economic crisis which has been skinning our island for several years. “Madame, fatalism is not Saint-Martinois”, the “Republic is based on the ambition of each citizen” and “this is what you will find in Saint-Martin: patriots and ambitious people in the noble sense of the term” , said the member. During this ceremony, the prefect thanked the president and the parliamentarians for their warm welcome, while recalling the values of the French Republic.
