Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, USA News: Presented by Serge Massau, the political program Face aux Outre-mer examines overseas issues during a thirty-minute broadcast. The France Télévisions overseas editorial department produces this bimonthly filmed radio show, which gives a platform to key public figures and highlights challenges specific to ultramarine territories.
Serge Massau hosts Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, a candidate for the 2027 presidential election representing Debout la France. Running for the Elysee for the fourth time, the sovereignist candidate previously did not exceed five percent in the first round. In 2022, his main proposals for the overseas territories included enhanced territorial continuity, aiming to cut airline ticket prices in half between overseas France and the mainland for all overseas residents. He also proposed replacing the octroi de mer dock dues with a value-added tax on imported goods that do not compete with local production, while retaining it otherwise to stimulate competition and lower prices.
Nicolas Dupont-Aignan will address topics including the management of illegal immigration in Mayotte. In February 2024, the politician stated that ending birthright citizenship in Mayotte was an absolute necessity, adding that he believes this measure should apply to all of France rather than Mayotte alone. The information directorate of the overseas pole includes Laurent Corteel and Willy Bracciano, while David Ponchelet leads the editorial department of the DOPOM.
