What did French presidential candidate Macron do wrong?

BEIJING, March 28 (Xinhua) According to foreign media reports, just one month before the French presidential election, French Guiana was paralyzed by a strike, and the issue of French Guiana was also placed in front of the candidates. Macron, the most promising French political rookie to beat Le Pen, unfortunately made a common sense mistake in geography. He described French Guiana as an "island".

Macron is a rising political star in Ran Ran. He parted ways with the traditional French left-wing and right-wing parties, and established the "Progressive Party" to campaign in two French overseas provinces in the Indian Ocean in Africa at the weekend. Maybe he is used to the geographical environment of these two islands. When talking about the strike in French Guiana, he also called French Guiana an island, making a mistake of geographical common sense that a presidential candidate should not make.

French Guiana (French: Guyane fran? Although aise is also near the tropical ocean, it is far from the Atlantic Ocean in South America, and it is completely on the continent of South America, not an island.

However, the geographical and political position of French Guiana is indeed unique. It is located in the northeast of South America, bordering Brazil and Suriname. As a part of French territory and directly under the jurisdiction of the French state, it has also become a part of the European Union, and the border between French Guiana and Brazil and Suriname has also become the westernmost border between France and the European Union.

It is reported that the geographical location of French Guiana makes France geographically adjacent to South American countries, which also brings serious immigration and crime problems. 35% of French Guiana people are not French, just below Mayotte. In 20 13, 40% of asylum seekers in French overseas provinces were foreigners from French Guiana. In 20 12, the number of illegal refugees in French Guiana reached 30,000 to 60,000, while the local people plausibly said that it was 250,000.
