As agreed late Friday afternoon, the prefect was to receive a delegation from the collective with the president of the Collectivity and his teams on Monday at 9 am. When the delegation arrived in the meeting room, the prefect stood up to greet each member and invited them to take their seats.
"We are not going to sit down," replied Cédrik André. The members of the collective accused the representative of the State of having placed gendarmes in certain sectors of the French part on Monday morning - in particular in front of the entrance to the prefecture - and of "putting pressure" on certain truck drivers in in particular "controlling". "If that's how you want us to discuss things by being serene, by doing things in peace, in tranquility, with respect for everyone and well you've already started badly. If that's how it is, this meeting will be canceled today, ”explained Cédrik André to the prefect. Which replied that "it is not a collective which decides on public order".
"I believe that last Friday, at the end of the afternoon, the security conditions of citizens of this island were not, continued Serge Gouteyron immediately interrupted by the collective. "An nou foukan la", launched Cédrik André who, with the other members of the collective, left the room. The meeting was suspended.
The members of the collective believe that the prefect has changed his attitude towards them and did not appreciate that he does not respect his commitments by asking the gendarmes to be present on the public highway and by controlling the trucks. "They arrested a driver who had a collective t-shirt and fined him because of a sticker," said a member of the collective. "The prefect said that on Friday the safety of citizens was not assured, it is completely false!", Launches another member. According to the collective, when the prefect proposed Friday a working meeting on Monday and lift the roadblocks, "it was a trap". Members are also confident that the discussions scheduled for this morning were “a trap”. (soualigapost.com)
