In this News Interview, we revisit a text over three centuries old: the Code Noir. This legal framework, established under Louis XIV, organized and regulated slavery in the French colonies. Although slavery was abolished in 1848, this text had never been officially repealed until now. To discuss this, we welcome Max Mathiasin, LIOT deputy for Guadeloupe and sponsor of a cross-party bill aimed at formally abolishing the Code Noir from French law. What did this text actually contain? Why wait until 2026 to repeal it? Does this decision constitute a historic step forward, or is it likely to remain a symbolic gesture without concrete consequences, especially under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron? During this interview, we also revisit the issues of reparations, colonial memory, and the legacy of slavery in the French overseas territories. High cost of living, inequality, healthcare, chlordecone contamination, access to land: can we discuss the past without considering the current situation in these territories? A discussion on history, political responsibilities, and the debates that continue to permeate French society. 👉 To receive the latest news, the weekly summary, and be alerted to the latest programs published by Le Média, directly in your inbox. https://newsletter.lemediatv.fr
