The president of the Collectivity today presents the first budget drawn up by his team. Last year, the newly elected members of the territorial council voted the budget for 2017, which had been drawn up by the outgoing majority.

He also wants to help the most vulnerable populations - especially those who were not insured - by helping them to put back a roof. Subsidies for disaster-stricken businesses will also be released.
