Gérald Darmanin a annoncé ce vendredi à La Réunion que le ministre délégué aux Outre-mer Jean-François Carenco allait réunir à Paris les entreprises qui interviennent dans les territoires ultramarins « pour pouvoir diminuer très fortement la vie chère ».
« Pendant les deux mois qui viennent, une grande réunion de travail avec l’ensemble des entreprises qui interviennent dans les Outre-mer, les transporteurs, les distributeurs, les producteurs » se tiendra au ministère des Outre-mer « sous la responsabilité » de Jean-François Carenco, a déclaré à la presse le ministre.
Egalement titulaire du portefeuille des Outre-mer depuis le remaniement gouvernemental post-législatives lundi, le ministre de l’Intérieur a choisi La Réunion pour son premier déplacement ultramarin, ce vendredi et samedi, avec Jean-François Carenco.
Le ministre délégué “aura à trouver les accords pour pouvoir diminuer très fortement la vie chère, avec évidemment le lien que nous pourrions faire en fiscalité et avec les collectivités locales”, a ajouté M. Darmanin, en présence de M. Carenco et de la maire PS de Saint-Denis Ericka Bareigts.
Dans l’après-midi, le ministre délégué doit rencontrer les représentants locaux de l’Observatoire des prix, des marges et des revenus (OPMR), un organisme en charge du coût de la vie et du pouvoir d’achat présent dans sept territoires ultramarins.
La vie chère, liée notamment aux coûts d’approvisionnement de nombreux produits de première nécessité, est une question soulevée de façon récurrente dans les Outre-mer. Les habitants sont frappées par un fort taux de pauvreté, avec des problèmes d’accès aux soins, à l’éducation, au logement et à l’emploi.

Aux alentours de midi ce vendredi 8 juillet, un groupe de personnes bloquées de l’autre coté de la rivière a été mis en sécurité par l’hélicoptère de la sécurité civile, Dragon 972.
Suite à une soudaine montée des eaux, un groupe de personnes se situant de l’autre côté de la rivière à Grand-Rivière été aidé par l’hélicoptère Dragon 972. Les passants auraient constaté un brusque changement de couleur de l’eau, devenue marron, et un gain en débit important.
Après avoir donné l’alerte, ils ont finalement été déposés sains et saufs sur le terrain de football de la commune par Dragon 972.
Selon le STIS (Service Territorial d’Incendie et de Secours), il pourrait s’agir d’une montée des eaux provoquée par des précipitations sur la Montage Pelée.

Track and field officials confirmed Friday that Russians will not be allowed to compete at this month’s World Championships due to the war in Ukraine.
The federation banned Russians from major international events shortly after the country invaded Ukraine in February. At the time, World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said the unprecedented move appeared “to be the only peaceful way to disrupt and disable Russia’s current intentions and restore peace.”
World Championships begin next Friday and run through July 24.
World Athletics confirmed the ban in a news release announcing it had cleared an additional 18 Russian athletes to compete as neutrals in international competition, but that the approvals would not apply to worlds.
Those athletes were cleared as part of a protocol in the wake of a doping scandal that has left Russia’s athletics federation under suspension since 2015. At last year’s Olympics, 10 Russians were allowed in the track meet; at the World Championships in 2019, 29 Russians competed.
There are now 73 Russian athletes who can compete as neutrals, though their status at major international events is in limbo due to the war.
Among those athletes is reigning Olympic and world champion high jumper Maria Lasitskene, who has never lost in an international competition. Last month, she blasted the decision in an open letter to Thomas Bach, the president of the IOC, which has recommended the Russian ban.
Lasitskene’s top rivals are from Ukraine and she said “I still don’t know what to say them or how to look into their eyes.”
“They and their friends and relatives are experiencing what no one human being should ever have to feel,” she said.

With the Prime Minister considering putting a ban on the used-metal industry owing to rampant theft nationwide, the head of the TT Scrap Iron Dealers Association (TTSIDA) called for a meeting to resolve the issue.
To Dr Rowley, Allan Ferguson said: “Mr Prime Minister, please let us meet the Attorney General (AG). Let my team, the AG’s team and whoever else is involved meet to make sure this industry is straightened out.”
Ferguson spoke at a media conference on Friday at the association’s office at By-Pass Road St Helena. It was also livestreamed on social media platforms.
On Thursday, at the post-Cabinet news conference at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s, Rowley criticised cable-wire thieves for wreaking havoc. He said he intends to seek advice from AG Reginald Armour, SC, on banning the entire industry.
On June 29, vandals stole cables from the Water and Sewerage Authority’s booster station in Thick Village in Siparia, cutting off water to 40,000 customers.
In April, Marabella residents blamed cable thieves for causing a fire that destroyed two houses and a parlour at The Line near Bay Road.
Two men were electrocuted this year while trying to steal copper cables and many people have been charged.
Ferguson said not all scrap iron dealers are involved in the theft. The organsation, he said, had been trying to stop the thefts. However, he said TTSIDA cannot do it alone and needs government intervention. He recalled having meetings with the Police Commissioner and TSTT’s officials.
The association, he said, also wrote the Trade and Industry Ministry calling for a temporary ban on the sale of copper.
Ferguson said it is easy to stop the theft because only about seven to eight scrap yards export copper.
“Not all scrap yards export copper from TT. This is very easy to handle.”
He offered a solution saying when copper is being put into containers for export, a customs officer and police should be present. This is to ensure that people put what they are supposed to put in the containers.
“I am begging you, mister Prime Minister, to hear our cries. This is the last industry that poor people have in this country, and I know you care about poor people. I know you have feelings for poor people.”
While he agreed with most of what Rowley said, Ferguson emphasised the copper ban should be temporary, maybe for a few months, allowing the rest of the industry to operate.
He said the industry employs thousands of poor people and other people.
Since 2011, a symposium was held to regularise the industry, he said.
“I keep fighting and quarrellng to make sure it is run properly. Up to today, it still is in the same place. So don’t blame us,” Ferguson said.
He said between 2019 and this year, the industry sent out the most containers monthly for export from Trinidad.
If the entire industry is shut down, all the shipping companies that work with the association would be out of business. Ferguson also believes that the crime would get worst.
“I would not want that for my country. I want good for my country. I love my country. I would fight for my country,” he said.
“I am about making this industry bring in foreign exchange in TT. We help with employment. We need to stay on that course.”

Officers from the Customs and Excise Division found and seized a quantity of Ketamine in a box at a courier bond on Thursday.
A media release from the Customs and Excise Division reported that officers received information while scanning packages and found the drugs in a box with a plastic container.
The drugs weighed about .94 kilograms and had a street value of $665,000.
The package was examined and passed on to the Preventive Branch of the Customs and Excise Division.
The US-based Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has listed Ketamine as a Schedule III non-narcotic substance and is usually distributed at parties and nightclubs abroad.
The drugs are usually available as a powder or a colourless liquid and can leave users in a detached or hallucinogenic state. It has been slipped into people’s drinks for sexual assault.
