What is wrong the with President of French St Martin and the leader of Government you guys are doing nothing to enhance the relationship between both sides on the contrary all you are both doing is forgetting this country for what is was built on and what the forefathers of this land stood up for. I think both of you are just not ready to take back this country for its people. Pity report abuse vote down vote up
