📅 13 May 2024 📍

The CCAT campaign against a constitutional change to New Caledonia’s provincial electorate culminated in demonstrations and road blockages as the French National Assembly began debate. Independence supporters feared that expanding the electorate would dilute Kanak political influence and undermine the Nouméa Accord’s framework. Some demonstrations escalated into serious violence; movement leaders called for restraint, and the record distinguishes those appeals from acts by individuals.
