Mayor Michel Hotin shuttered government agencies, cancelled classes and halted municipal services.

The closures in Le Gosier , a town of roughly 26,000 people located on the island’s southern coast.

The spat began in late April when Hotin failed to receive support from opposition city council members.

Hotin says he cannot renew essential public contracts of state employees without a delegation.
