AGP Executive Report
Last update: 26 minutes agoFrench Colonial Reckoning: France’s National Assembly voted unanimously (254-0) to repeal the 1685 “Code Noir,” the slavery-era legal code that treated enslaved people as “movable property” and enabled brutal punishments—an overdue symbolic step after slavery ended in 1848, with the bill now heading to the Senate and requiring a government report on the lasting impact on overseas territories and how slavery is taught in schools. Regional Air Connectivity: In the Eastern Caribbean, St. Kitts and Nevis tourism minister Marsha Henderson says Caribbean Airlines withdrew its St. Kitts service without prior consultation, raising travel and business concerns while officials seek alternative partners. Guadeloupe in the Spotlight: The French debate also features Guadeloupe MP Max Mathiasin as the bill’s sponsor, framing the repeal as remembrance and recognition while stopping short of a reparations plan in the text. Guadeloupe-Linked Mobility: A separate report highlights Air France’s island-hopping network that can route via Guadeloupe, underscoring how Caribbean travel links keep evolving.
