Priorities include tackling high living costs and improving jobs, housing and access to drinking water. Colonial Legacy: Parliament has formally repealed the Code Noir, the 1685 law that governed slavery in French colonies. The measure, championed by Guadeloupe MP Max Mathiasin, is symbolic: the provisions had been obsolete since abolition but remained on the statute books. Public Safety: Curfews for minors were imposed in Pointe-à-Pitre and Les Abymes after unrest left three police officers wounded by gunfire. France’s government also ordered localized curfews in some areas elsewhere in the country.
