A Time to Remember: France Delays Government Announcement to Honor Mayotte Victims
Hey everyone! Have you ever heard about Mayotte? It’s a small group of islands that are part of France, located near Africa. Recently, something very sad happened there. A big cyclone (which is like a huge storm) hit Mayotte, and many people were affected. 😢💔
Because of this, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, decided to make Monday a special day. It’s called a day of mourning, which means the whole country takes time to remember and honor those who were lost in the disaster.
France was planning to announce its new government on Monday evening. But to show respect for the victims in Mayotte, they’ve decided to wait a bit longer. The new government announcement will now happen after the day of mourning.
At 11:00 AM on Monday, President Macron will take a moment of silence. This is when everyone stays quiet for a minute to think about those who were affected by the cyclone. It’s a way to show care and solidarity.
The Prime Minister is working hard to get the new government team ready before Christmas. 🎄
This shows how important it is to come together when something bad happens. Even big plans can wait when people need support. Let’s send warm thoughts to the people of Mayotte. ❤️
