“Dead day” marches bring French Guiana’s grievances into public view

← Back to Dashboard
📅 28 March 2017 📍

Large marches in Cayenne and Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni accompanied a territory-wide “dead day” during the general strike. Participants called attention to public service gaps and state neglect; local groups helped set the agenda and rejected being spoken for solely by officials in Paris. Reports give different crowd estimates, so this entry emphasizes the multi-city action and its demands.
