Watch what this protester in New Caledonia has to say about the French President who is intensifying the crackdown on the growing pro-independence movement on the Pacific archipelago.
In response to protests that have erupted in New Caledonia, Emmanuel Macron has imposed a state of emergency, which has placed restrictions on movement, banned TikTok, and set a curfew on the island’s residents. He has also deployed 500 additional officers to join the 1,800 police and gendarmes already there suppressing the unrest.
The protests started when Macron passed constitutional reforms that would give white French residents voting rights in New Caledonia, where the population consists of 40% Indigenous Kanak people. The island is critical to French imperial interests in the Pacific, as it is rich in minerals and of key strategic importance amidst rising tensions with China.
