In French Guiana, the government holds significant power as it is an overseas region of France, thus subject to French laws and governance. However, local citizens can exert influence through democratic processes, such as elections and public demonstrations, reflecting their needs and concerns. While the government maintains authority, the people have the ability to shape policies and decisions that affect their lives. Overall, the power dynamic is characterized by a combination of local agency and overarching governmental control.
