Prime Minister Pravind Jugnauth expects Mauritius to come out of the European Union’s blacklist. Speaking yesterday at The Venue, Belle Vue Allendy, during a ceremony to hand over title deeds to former employees of the Bonne Mère sugar company, the head of government said that the committee in charge of dealing with this issue has made a lot of progress, and this step by step. There is now only one last step to have if the European Union agrees to remove Mauritius in this list? The results are expected in a few days. He took the opportunity to respond to a press article that makes believe that he is interested in coup ban only. He made it clear that he is the Prime Minister of all Mauritians whether in Mauritius, Rodrigues or Agalega. Moreover, he said he considers the Chagossians as Mauritians too, because this territory belongs to Mauritius’, he said.
Speaking about the reform in the sugar industry, he had to blame the former regime for not having done anything to save the sugar industry in the framework of the end of the sugar protocol. The head of government invited the population to continue to be vaccinated, because it takes time to renew the vaccination to become effective. He asked the population not to be convinced by unpatriotic politicians not to be vaccinated. Today’s value, he says, is that about 85% of the adult population has been vaccinated. Mauritius is one of the few countries in the world that has achieved this result. He thanked the population for listening to the call of the government.
This ceremony, which was organized in collaboration with Mauritius Cane Industrry Authority, was attended by the Minister Maneesh Gobin and officials of the Zorro Group.
