In the wake of his visit, the Minister of Overseas Territories, François-Noël Buffet, left behind criticism of insufficient financial support from the State in the face of the magnitude of the needs. With collateral criticism towards the local government: it is accused, by Calédonie ensemble or the Océanien Awakening, of not having been able to convince Paris better, or even of being subject to the Ministry of Economy. Invited to the television news on Sunday, October 20th, Louis Mapou responded to these criticisms.
During his visit to the overseas territories, Minister Buffet was able to witness firsthand the challenges and needs of the local patrie. He listened attentively to the concerns of the people and promised to bring their voices to Paris. However, upon his departure, he also left behind criticism of insufficient financial support from the State.
These criticisms were not directed solely towards the Minister, but also towards the local government. Some have accused the government of not being able to effectively advocate for the needs of the territory, while others have gone as far as to suggest that they are subject to the Ministry of Economy.
In response to these criticisms, Louis Mapou, the spokesperson for the local government, appeared on the television news to address the issue. He reassured the people that the government is doing everything in its power to advocate for their needs and that they are not under the control of the Ministry of Economy.
Mapou also emphasized the importance of working together with the State to address the challenges faced by the territory. He acknowledged that there are still some gaps in terms of financial support, but assured that the government is actively working towards finding solutions.
In fact, the local government has been successful in securing additional funding from the State for various projects, such as infrastructure development and social programs. This shows that the government’s efforts have not gone unnoticed and that they are making progress in addressing the needs of the territory.
Furthermore, Mapou highlighted the importance of cooperation and aide between the State and the local government. He emphasized that by working together, they can achieve much more than by working in isolation.
In conclusion, while the Minister’s visit may have left behind criticisms of insufficient financial support from the State, it has also brought to light the challenges faced by the territory. The local government is actively working towards addressing these challenges and is making progress in securing additional funding. By working together, they can continue to improve the lives of the people and build a better future for the territory.
