Late October 2026, after nearly two weeks of mobilization by the Nou Las Palé collective, several roadblocks and obstacles were reported in Le Gosier, Sainte-Anne and Baie-Mahault, without major disruptions. On October 26, the collective disputed the prefect's account of the cancellation of a meeting scheduled for October 25, saying it had never received an official invitation. On October 28, after the presence of asbestos was confirmed in rubble used for roadblocks at Jarry, MP Olivier Serva questioned the prefect about their origin and the risks involved. In the night of October 30 to 31, the La Boucan bridge in Sainte-Rose was blocked with burning trash, with gendarmes opening a passage, then on November 1, the president of UDE-MEDEF denounced the blockade of the Jarry zone by José Gaddarkhan, including with asbestos-contaminated rubble. On November 4, police dismantled a roadblock at Mare-Gaillard in Le Gosier, and on November 5, several unions and collectives called for a mobilization on November 14 against the high cost of living and social difficulties.
