AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoLabor & Social Stability: In Anse Marcel, the union CSE says the abrupt closure of the former Secrets Hotel—now Saint Martin Beach Resort—has become a “social scandal of exceptional gravity,” alleging owners off-island used a disputed safety-commission claim to justify cutting over 90% of the workforce; CSE says court intervention failed to produce agreements and that the Préfecture confirmed no administrative closure order was issued. Environment & Local Impact: France moved closer to its ocean-protection target by announcing three new marine protected areas, including one in Guadeloupe to protect coral reefs and sea turtles, with strict limits on fishing, extraction, and some tourism. Regional Connectivity: Air Caraïbes and LIAT 2020 signed an interline agreement to improve Caribbean–Europe travel, offering single-ticket options and better multi-island routing that includes Martinique and Guadeloupe. Politics & Justice (France-Caribbean legacy): A debate continues after France repealed the Code Noir: observers say the symbolic legal cleanup still leaves deeper questions of repair and accountability for the Caribbean slave-trade legacy.
