Alain Richardson Calls On Elected To Stand Up In The Interest Of St. Martin. .

Ladies and Gentlemen elected members of parliament and of the Territorial council of the Collectivité of SAINT - MARTIN,

Our territory over the past century and in a more significant manner over the last decades, has been entertaining the most inadequate relations with the Republic of which it is a part.

Long periods of abandonment and disengagement, have been followed by some periods of non- selfless attention, and an intention to make sure SAINT-MARTIN fitted into the French mold and was in line.

Our most notable particularities and characteristics:

• the existence of a common destiny between the two Siamese sides of the island based on the Treaty of Concordia,
• a territory with its own interests based on a linguistic and cultural heritage, an economy and a different monetary framework, opened to the world, with centers of attraction and interests primarily turned towards the Americas and the Caribbean and not towards France and Europe.
• etc.

These realities are the reasons why, within the French Republic, we area treated and considered as an isolated and singular territory.

In February 2007 the law-maker gave a strong indication and took a major decision, as a result of the political will expressed democratically by our population in 2003, with the
adoption of the new status of our territory and the creation of the Overseas Community (Collectivité) of SAINT-MARTIN governed by article 74 of the Constitution Read more
