National Day of Mourning today in France

National Day of Mourning today in France
The consequences of the cyclone in Mayotte are terrible: we are not even able to count the dead ! Not surprising when we know that the island is inhabited by 50% illegal immigrants from the Comoros
So, a "National Day of Mourning", what does that mean ? What are we forbidden to do ? What are we obliged to do ? It's not easy to find a clear answer... (even on ChatGPT ). All I found was a minute of silence (not 24 hours) and the flags at half-mast.
But it seems above all that it is an opportunity for all politicians, debaters and journalists to shame all the others who would not have respected this special day.
Starting with Prime Minister Bayrou who planned to publish the names of the new ministers after 06:00 pm. Uh, that's his job, isn't it ? Besides, should journalists have stopped talking on television today ?
Politics and the media are mainly about communication: and when will we see action ?

Did you have to use a tragic event to have a go about immigrants? Illegal or not

I don't think he was necessarily having a go at immigrants just stating facts.

I don't understand why you feel offended. I don't have a go at migrants, as you say (why would I: I married a migrant myself )
I was just mentioning a common sense fact. A woman from Mayotte criticized the government this morning, saying that it "wasn't even capable of counting the dead". How could it when it doesn't even know how to count the living. It is estimated that on the island, there are approximately (I insist on the "approximately") 50% illegal immigrants from the Comoros or Africa. But we obviously don't know exactly how many there are since, when they disembark, they disappear into the wild without saying "hello, it's me". So, the only way to count the dead is to count the bodies pulled out of the rubble and, to do that, you have to have cleaned everything up! And there is a lot of rubble!

Apparently the death toll count is also hindered by some dead being buried hastily as per tradition.
