Last update: 12 hours agoSlavery Law Repeal: France’s National Assembly voted 254-0 to repeal the 1685 Code Noir, the “Black Code” that treated enslaved people as “movable property.” The move is symbolic but historic, since the law lingered on the books long after slavery was abolished in 1848; the bill now heads to the Senate.

Space & Local Industry: PLD Space announced a €35m investment to expand its Kourou launch complex at the Guiana Space Centre, with €13m earmarked for more than 20 French Guiana firms, aiming to boost Europe’s sovereign launch capacity. Caribbean Connectivity: LIAT Air and Air Caraïbes launched an interline agreement for single-ticket travel and through-checked baggage across their combined networks, including links to French Guiana and onward service to Paris-Orly. Air France Route: Air France continues an unusual Miami–Guadeloupe A320 service that can connect onward via Martinique and French Guiana to Brazil, after suspending a Haiti stop due to security and aviation bans.
