Last post by ersi -Macron will stop Ukraine war, Gaza war, and Sudan crisis...Meanwhile he incited an uprising in one of his own colonies.
The protests were triggered by the French National Assembly’s vote to allow all citizens who have been living in New Caledonia for over 10 years to elect the local legislature. Voting in these elections has until now been reserved for citizens who settled in the archipelago before 1998 — when the French government launched a self-determination process in New Caledonia — or their descendants.
Pro-independence forces argue that broadening the electoral body would further reduce the influence of the indigenous Kanak population, whose share of the population has shrunk since France took control of the territory over 170 years ago. Proponents of the reform see a democratic necessity, underlining that the current rules exclude even certain New Caledonia-born citizens from voting.
The change would require a constitutional amendment, and therefore still needs to be approved by lawmakers from both houses of the French parliament during an ad-hoc session.
The decision to call such a session belongs to one man: Macron.
You seem always able to ignore "technicalities" — such as due process, constitutional rights and rules of evidence — for your preferred outcome of trials: You're still a Soviet at heart, ersi!
