Okay , I didn't want to read everyone response. The French side problem is that , the French side is direct part of France , hence locally the Collectively which they are called can only do certain small things for the French side. The President Macron is has to do his job properly and not just dissed the locals. That's the problem a lot of so called red tap for them to money for reconstruction. And you can't demand that people that were living on the side of the lagoon in Sandy ground for a long time to just give up their land for 40,000.00 Euro and them have the rich white French move in that are building lavish places. That's what's the "beef". That's why also the current Sous Prefect was removed and replaced by someone that dealt with that ares way back in 2007. Facts.
