“While the Saint-Martinois aspire to a normal life and social peace, some individuals try in a very localized way, to sow disorder without other demands than those of the law of the street.
After four years of economic, health and social difficulties, the island does not need this, while the State, neighborhood representatives, associations and elected officials have strengthened the dialogue to improve the daily life of the inhabitants, to bring a future for young people and develop the territory.
The Prefect solemnly appeals to reason and to everyone's positive reaction. It is high time to move forward ”.
The gendarmes "fought against individuals who were setting up barricades"
Tuesday at 5:30 am, the lieutenant-colonel indicated that the gendarmerie had been fighting “since 3 am against a group of about thirty individuals who were setting up barricades in Marigot”. "The police were the subject of fireworks," he adds.
He also specified that “the roads were passable but that the Bellevue border axis was strewn with stones. There is only one barricade left at Sandy-Ground ”.
A partial roadblock has been erected on the Terres Basses road "and groups of young people can attack vehicles".
