The separatists in French Polynesia won the majority of seats in the territorial assembly. In the wake of their victory, they reaffirmed their desire to free themselves from France.
Victory salutes. Sunday, April 30, in French Polynesia, the separatists won the territorial elections. This victory is carried by the figure of the movement Oscar Temaru and the deputy of the NUPES Moetai Brotherson. As soon as the results were announced, the winners reaffirmed their desire to free themselves from France. “It’s the only way if we want to eradicate the poverty that is eating away at our country”, assured Oscar Temaru. However, according to several officials, there will be no referendum on self-determination for 10 to 15 years.
UN support
The separatists intend to rely on the UN. She placed Polynesia on the list of territories to be “decolonized”. Currently, Polynesia enjoys considerable autonomy. Gérald Darmanin takes note of the desire for change. “We will work with the newly elected majority with commitment and rigor, to continue to improve the daily lives of our fellow Polynesian citizens”, tweeted the Minister of the Interior. Relations could be strained, because only Paris can decide on a referendum.
