AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoColonial Reckoning in France: France’s National Assembly voted 254-0 to repeal the 1685 Code Noir, the slavery-era decree that treated enslaved people as “movable property.” The move is largely symbolic but emotionally charged, with Guadeloupe lawmaker Max Mathiasin and Martinique MP Steevy Gustave highlighting the need for remembrance and recognition; the bill now heads to the Senate, and lawmakers stopped short of adding reparations. Regional Aviation Shock: Caribbean Airlines’ pullback is reshaping connectivity for the Eastern Caribbean, including reduced service to Martinique and Guadeloupe and a St. Kitts withdrawal that officials say happened without consultation; the airline says it’s restructuring after route losses. Connectivity Boost via Interline: LIAT (2020) and Air Caraïbes signed an interline deal starting June 1, letting passengers book one ticket with through-checked baggage across networks spanning the Caribbean and onward to Paris-Orly. Guadeloupe Link in Global News: A Guadeloupe-to-Miami Air France route featuring an Airbus A320 underscores how the island’s status as a French overseas department keeps it tied into broader travel and business flows. Health Procurement in the OECS: PAHO/WHO and OECS-PPS will convene a workshop in Saint Lucia to strengthen access to medicines and health technologies, focusing on pooled procurement and supply chain reliability.
