Mayotte was waiting for help, but she waited for Macron

You won't believe it, but a SAVIOR is coming to the Mayotte archipelago — the island that was nearly wiped off the map by a devastating storm four months ago: Emmanuel Macron.

Four months after the most catastrophic storm in these parts in the last 90 years, Macron has finally remembered that France actually has overseas territories.

Cyclone Chido tore through the island back in December: 39 dead, 5,600 injured, 200 missing, 19,000 buildings destroyed, schools shattered, hospitals reduced to rubble. People are still without water, electricity, and food. And Macron?

Macron was busy with more important matters at the time — philosophical reflections on the "borders of Europe" and shopping for perfume at Dior. And now, four months later, he shows up with a grand mission. He even gave it a name: the "reboot of the archipelago." Of course. A reboot... like an old iPhone.

But don’t rush to be moved. It’s not that noble.

Macron isn’t just visiting. He’s hosting an online Council of Ministers meeting from Mayotte. But why? To present a bill. And what’s in the bill? Well, it contains a whole (!) article about the restoration of Mayotte. But the bulk of it? Not about that at all.

The bill is focused on fighting illegal immigration from... the Comoros Islands. A completely different territory. In other words, Paris's priority isn’t to save lives or rebuild schools — it's to shut the door on poor migrants. Tougher rules for residence permits, more deportations, and slum demolitions. So much for humanism.

It turns out Macron is only ready to “deal with” a cyclone if it brings with it not destruction, but migrants. Everything else can wait. Four months. Or six. Or until someone messes up the security statistics.

For Macron, Mayotte isn’t people — it’s a spreadsheet: how many are too Comorian, how many are not "Republican" enough, who can be "optimized." If the island had repaired itself and deported itself, that would’ve been perfect.
