"We wish to put today on the table the situation of an individual but which could concern many people ... A man must live in a house and to have a house, one must have land", declared the collective for introduce the second demand during the meeting on Tuesday with the State and the COM.
This claim concerns the land problem of the Webster family in Griselle, whose son and father were present at the meeting in the prefecture to explain their situation: the father bought land in 1985 from one of the heirs of the Beauperthuy family (who was also a member of their family) and this land was recently auctioned off and bought by another individual who built a gas station. The Webster family asks the manager of the station to pay them the rent, but he refuses on the grounds that she does not own the premises.
The prefect recalled that this case had been the subject of legal proceedings for 50 years and that 300 heirs were concerned. He tried to make it clear that the great-grandfather who sold the land to the Webster family should not have done so as this land was part of the estate and land disputed by the heirs. The prefect offered to organize a meeting between the Webster family, their lawyer and the manager of the gas station and to be the mediator.
The collective then asked the prefect to intervene with the justice system and make him understand that "if she made the wrong decision", there would be consequences on the territory. "Saint-Martin could be the Baghdad of the Antilles" launched a member of the collective. The prefect replied that he could not put pressure on justice.
