Independence and loyalist groups stage rival marches over electoral reform

← Back to Dashboard
📅 13 April 2024 📍

Large pro-independence and pro-France marches made the political stakes of a proposed electoral-roll change visible in Nouméa. The proposed reform would expand the provincial electorate; Kanak independence supporters argued it could weaken their political voice, while opponents of independence supported the change. The rival demonstrations show that the territory contains competing political projects and cannot be reduced to one position.
