Mayotte status referendum – March 29

[Hash]

All parties are in favour, since they know that taking position in favour of the NO would destroy them politically.

[Hash]

One group supports the NO, the Imams and local Islamists. Brownie for anyone who guesses the reason for their position.

(Actually, the PCF has not called to vote YES, saying the Comoran claims on Mayotte are legitimate).

Because Mayotte will no longer follow Islamic law?

Mayotte isn't really Islamist land anyways to begin with, but the 1905 law on separation of church and state did not apply in Mayotte until now. Now that they're a full department, the 1905 law on separation of church and state applies like in all other departments (save for Alsace-Moselle, of course, but that's another story).
