Answer:The postwar politics of Martinique, which was more vociferous in its demands for independence than Guadeloupe, was influenced by Aimé Césaire, the Martinican writer who was one of the founders of the Negritude movement. Césaire, first elected as a deputy in 1946, had originally been a member of the Communist Party, but by 1956 he had resigned and formed his own party, the Progressive Party of Martinique. In 1957 Césaire’s party won the Martinican elections by an enormous margin, and it seemed that independence would be achieved.
Explanation:
Martinique is an overseas department of France, so its inhabitants are French citizens with full political and legal rights. Martinique sends four deputies to the French National Assembly and two senators to the French Senate. As part of France, Martinique is part of the European Union and its currency is the euro.
