Overview

  • Deputies codified a roadmap to equalize Mayotte’s social benefits with metropolitan France by 2031 and set an interim target of 87.5% of the SMIC by January 2026.
  • A Rassemblement national amendment supported by the government excluded state-funded medical aid for irregular migrants (AME) from the convergence framework.
  • The Assembly mandated an exhaustive population census beginning in 2025 and transformed Mayotte’s departmental council into a fully empowered legislative assembly.
  • RN-backed amendments restrict state-funded annual return tickets for off-island students to French nationals and repeal a provision that eased expropriations for infrastructure works.
  • An annexed report allocates nearly €4 billion in investments for water, education, health and security through 2031 and a final joint vote is set for early July.
