FLNKS boycott frames the third independence referendum as illegitimate

📅 12 December 2021 📍

The FLNKS called for non-participation in the third referendum after France kept the date despite Kanak mourning following severe COVID-19 losses. The boycott was a political act grounded in the role of customary mourning and in disputes over self-determination and the referendum process. Turnout was sharply reduced; this record does not treat the vote’s formal result as resolving the legitimacy dispute.
