AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCode Noir Repeal: France’s National Assembly voted 254-0 to scrap the slavery-era “Code Noir,” a law that treated enslaved people as “movable property,” with lawmakers calling it a long-overdue symbolic step. Reunion & the Indian Ocean: The repeal matters for Réunion too, since the Code Noir was extended to the island—so today’s vote lands as a direct cultural reckoning for French overseas communities. Local Culture Spotlight: Naïka released “One Track Mind (Part II)” in Haitian Creole with Martinican artist Kalash, leaning into Caribbean identity and fan demand for more Creole in the spotlight. Sports & Pride of Place: A West Texas athlete from Réunion Island, France, was named LSC Female Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year, adding another win to the island’s growing global footprint. Arts & Lifestyle: A new “sunshine noir” thriller set in Crete, plus a Pride event calendar and TV picks, keep the week’s culture-and-leisure mood firmly on.
