Recently, the Saint-Martin senator Guillaume Arnell intervened on the credits of the Overseas mission, within the framework of the examination of the PLF 2020 (Finance bill). Treasurer of the RDSE (European Democratic and Social Gathering) group and vice-chairman of the Social Affairs Committee, Guillaume Arnell, during his speech addressed the situation in Saint-Martin regarding compensation.
In November 2017, the Prime Minister undertook that the State would pay, between 2018 and 2020, annual support of 50 million euros per year, in operation, "admittedly with conditions, to compensate for tax losses possible following the passage of Hurricane Irma ”. Senator Arnell recalls that in fact "only 25 million were paid in 2018. And for 2019, the Collectivity has just been advised that the envelope would ultimately be only 16,1 million euros, arrowed in investment and no longer in operation, and to be consumed before December 31! "
Guillaume Arnell considers that, assuming that the Collectivity may have made errors in judgment or strategy, "that does not justify this sudden change of rules which will impact the Saint-Martin population and slow down the resumption of activity. economic ". And to propose to the Minister of Overseas to meet again quickly, "to find together a middle way and to leave the conflict State-Collectivity, of which the only victim is, and I repeat it, the population of Saint-Martin"._RM
