France’s National Assembly approved the proposed constitutional reform amid intense protest in New Caledonia. The change would allow long-term residents to vote in provincial elections; independence supporters warned it could weaken Kanak representation. The territorial Congress adopted a resolution asking for withdrawal on 13 May. Political argument and street mobilization must be read within the unfinished decolonization process and the Nouméa Accord.
