Mauritius is currently grappling with political turmoil following a financial scandal implicating former minister Renganaden Padayachy. The ex-finance minister is facing allegations of defrauding the Mauritius Investment Corporation, while Harvesh Seegolam, former central bank head, is also under scrutiny. The situation has been further exacerbated by claims from the Militant Socialist Movement of political vendetta. Notably, the political landscape in Mauritius has long been influenced by two dominant dynasties. The recent visit of French President Emmanuel Macron has only heightened tensions in the region. The accusations and ensuing unrest have the potential to significantly impact Mauritius’s economy.
