The French President emmenual Macron, and the European Commission President Jean Claude Juncker, meet at the European Space Station in Kourou, French Space station, on October 27th. The Commission wants to extend and adapt its action towards the outermost regions, as called for by the Treaty of Lisbon.--------------------------------------------------------
President Emmanuel Macron has managed to make a trip with two challenges: to go to Guyana, despite the tense context, since recent riots and demonstrations of protesting groups Guyanese, to claim a better purchasing power and assert the role " played well "by France with regard to the Outermost Regions (ultra peripheral regions) of the EU.
The French President then addresses a long but wide-ranging speech, covering the different aspects: Space, Environment, Biodiversity, and Climate changes issues, Public, Private sector, Investment, Policies, Education, and Immigration,
That was the French and Franco-European challenging trip, during which the young new President, Emmanuel Macron, does not recoil from the difficulty on the ground and does not hesitate to raise the risks and goes against all odds, betting on a win- win.

Jean-Claude Juncker in Guyana, on the occasion of the Conference of Presidents of the Outermost Regions of the EU, puts a spotlight on distant Europe, since this island is closer to the Amazon than to Paris.--------------------------------------------
The two presidents will thus highlight the particular effort that the European executive intends to make towards the Outermost Regions (ultra-peripheral) regions, and insist on the European space policy whose essentials are implemented in Kourou. Spain, Portugal and France, among the countries most concerned by the subject, have already asked the Commission to speed up the movement. For its part, the executive has just presented a battery of new measures.
THE SITUATION IN GUYANA IS TENSE DUE TO RIOTS, DOUBLED WITH POVERTY AND HIGH UNEMPLOYEMENT
"If the EU already has a strategy on the outermost regions, it is clear that it seems not very effective: development gaps between the EU and the outermost regions are enormous, access to the Internet is sometimes rare, and some immense and unoccupied territories seem abandoned. This is the case in Guyana, where riots broke out in 2016 and 2017. Poverty, unemployment at 23%, poor public services, bad relations between the police and the population, organized crime: Guyana is a concentrated of all the problems encountered by the ultra-peripheral regions, but in power because of the vastness of the territory made up to 95% of the Amazonian forest. Clashes between police and demonstrators have also enamelled the first day of the visit of the French president on the territory, Thursday, October 26." president Macron stated.
