If the government keeps this up there will be more than just a protest roadblock.

Can't blame them. Feel very sorry for them that they are still looking for help. Come on France.

Put a yellow vest on your rental car dashboard to show your support and spend your vacation day at the road block in Sandy Ground.

Daily Herald today

The French side seems headed for some serious trouble.

Any idea what family they are referring to?
"family that has been settled for more than 30 years in the public domain, near French Quarter."

I personally don't know. As stated in the other thread, the St. Martin government seems set on doing away with local St. Martin businesses and setting up French nationals or 'metropolitans' in charge of everything.
