MICRO-SIDEWALK “The elections are approaching, are you planning to vote? »

" Oh yeah ! For me, voting is not only a right but also a privilege. I have never missed an election or cast my vote. Even if I was not present to go to the polls, I took the steps to have a power of attorney so that my vote would be taken into account. It is important to participate but just as important to find out about the programs of the different candidates. I have never seen any program that corresponded exactly to my political ideas, but some come close. The main thing is that the elected candidate implements what is promised. »   Nelly

 

 

“I have never voted, it will be the first time. No one in my family votes except my aunt, and she's the one who made me want to do it. To tell you

the truth, I've never really been interested in these political stories, because in real life, you don't really see the difference. But talking with my aunt, I realized that if everyone shuts up or just complains because things don't change, it will never move forward. And even if my vote doesn't weigh the scales on the side I want, I would have at least expressed what I want for my island. »   Jimmy

 

 

 

 

"Besides the fact that voting is essential for me, it has become a family tradition, we go to the polls together, we exchange our ideas and our points of view on the programs of the candidates, it sometimes creates lively discussions during the family meal, I can tell you that! I am involved in my neighborhood, I work with associations, I am aware that life in Saint Martin works at a different speed from that in mainland France, but election periods, I see them as an opportunity for the population to express their needs and ambitions. So, yes, I intend to vote and I'm proud of it. »   Malika

 

 

 

“I voted white for a long time. It's always a bit frowned upon to say it, but it's also a form of expression. I never really found a candidate or program that met my expectations as a voter. Voting is a civic duty for me. This year, there may be someone who will collect my vote, but I'm waiting to see how the campaigns will go, I'll follow it quietly. Really hoping that the promises will be kept because these last few weeks have been hectic and the people of Saint Martin need to be united, not divided. »   Reginald
