"If only we had found in the local representation of the State benevolent partners and attentive to this territory", said, about the revision of the natural risk prevention plan (PPRN), the president of the COM at the press conference Monday evening in Quartier d'Orléans alongside the Minister for Overseas.
Daniel Gibbs once again denounced "the haste of the local representation of the State to produce a decree to set up an early rigid and above ground PPRN, in defiance of the voice and alerts of representatives of the people" . He wanted to make recognize that the blockages of December 2019 "should have been avoided" if the consultation with the population had not been "botched and had not aborted".
"We were not asking for anything, we were asking that things be done with the consideration of the people of Saint-Martin," he said. "The Lacroix mission made it possible to initiate the dialogue, in the listening and the serenity which we lacked so much", admitted the president of the COM before confiding that he "particularly appreciated his observation". And for good reason, the mission recognized what the elected officials and the population kept saying: "The state gave the feeling of not wanting to hear local points of view" quoted Daniel Gibbs. "Everything is said," he said.
He wants "from now on, to move forward in concert, not to make the same mistakes again, not to waste time because of certain postures, certain personal calculations".
