AGP Executive Report
Last update: 18 minutes agoCode Noir Repeal: France’s National Assembly voted unanimously (254-0) to formally repeal the 1685 Code Noir, the slavery-era decree that treated enslaved people as “movable property,” after centuries in which the text lingered on the books even after abolition. The debate turned emotional, with lawmakers from the French Caribbean—including Guadeloupe MP Max Mathiasin and Martinique MP Steevy Gustave—arguing the move is about recognition and remembrance, not erasing history, while stopping short of reparations demands. Regional Airlift Shock: In the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago’s Minister Eli Zakour says state carrier Caribbean Airlines will cut routes and slash frequencies from June 1, ending services to Dominica and St Kitts and reducing flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe to twice weekly, citing more than US$18.8m in losses tied to the 2023 expansion—sparking fresh debate across the OECS on who will fill the gap.
