In New Caledonia, negotiations with the FLNKS group remain unsuccessful due to the efforts of Manuel Valls.
In the heart of Nouméa, at the entrance of the Nouville neighborhood, a group of activists staged an independence demonstration on August 20. The demonstration was not a coincidence, as it took place while Manuel Valls, the Minister of Overseas France, was on his way to the customary Senate.
The focus of the activists' protest was the Bougival agreement, a significant point of contention in recent political tensions in the archipelago. The Bougival agreement was signed between the State and all Caledonian political delegations on July 12, but it seems to have sparked strong opposition among some sections of the population.
The activists held a banner with the message "No to Bougival!" written in bold, red letters. They were also seen waving independence flags, their voices echoing their strong opposition to the agreement.
Interestingly, the Bougival agreement was not explicitly mentioned in the activists' banner or message, nor was it previously mentioned as the first leg of Manuel Valls' four-day trip. It was also not mentioned in any of the earlier bullet points regarding the visit to Nouméa by the Minister of Overseas France.
The political delegation opposing the Bougival Treaty consists of members from the Nationalist Party. The exact details of the treaty and the reasons for the opposition are yet to be fully disclosed, but the protest indicates a growing dissent in the archipelago.
A dozen activists were present at the demonstration, their numbers reflecting a dedicated group of individuals standing firm against the Bougival agreement. The event serves as a reminder of the ongoing political tensions in New Caledonia and the issues that continue to divide the community.
As the situation unfolds, it is crucial to maintain a clear understanding of the facts and to stay informed about the developments in the archipelago. The Bougival agreement and the protests it has sparked are undoubtedly a significant part of the current political landscape in New Caledonia.
