Politically, it shares the same institutional framework as mainland France but has unique local priorities. Martinique has a distinct political identity, with movements advocating for greater cultural recognition and autonomy. The capital is Fort-de-France, and the island plays an important role in regional politics.[1]

Martinicans feel a strong dual identity, connected to both France and the Caribbean. Politically, Martinique is a French department, integrating into French political and administrative life. Culturally, the island mixes French and Caribbean influences, seen in literature, music, and arts. French is the official language, but Creole is also important. Economically, Martinique benefits from French aid while actively participating in the Caribbean community. [5]This duality enriches Martinican identity and shapes its unique cultural and political landscape.

Martinique's political history has seen tensions between extreme right- wing views and independence movements. Some right-wing groups in Martinique have advocated for maintaining close ties with France and preserving traditional structures. On the other hand, there have been strong independence movements, especially active during the 1960s and 1970s, seeking complete autonomy from France. These movements argued for the end of colonial rule and more self-determination for the island. Today, while full independence is less sought after, there remains a significant push for greater autonomy and cultural recognition within the French Republic.[6]
