Saint-Barth First: Meeting the “Youth”

On Friday, November 6, the political group Saint-Barth d’Abord organized a meeting to which the island’s young voters were invited. While about thirty people accepted the invitation, only a handful were representatives of the island’s “youth.” The discussions were nonetheless “valuable,” according to the SBDA group, on behalf of which Senator Micheline Jacques, territorial councilors Rudi Laplace and Sylvère Gréaux, and the 4th vice president of the territorial council, Alexandra Questel, spoke.
The political group has posted a questionnaire on the website saintbarthdabord.fr/ titled “Closer to Your Reality,” which focuses on the quality of life in Saint Barthélemy—whether in daily life, in one’s neighborhood, and so on. “We want to understand what makes life here good for you, what makes your daily life difficult, and what you’d like to preserve,” the group explains. “The responses are intended to inform our collective work; they do not constitute a commitment to fulfill every request.”
