    Macron Puts New Caledonia Voting Reform On Hold

    Friday, May 24th - Dumbéa - 2:00 PM - Protesters at the Appogotti Bridge checkpoint. President Emmanuel Macron says he will not force through a controversial voting reform in the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia following deadly rioting. Speaking on a visit to the main island, Mr Macron said local leaders should engage in dialogue to find an alternative agreement for the archipelago's future. Seven people including two police officers have been killed and hundreds more wounded in riots, looting and arson. Currently, voting in the territory is restricted to indigenous Kanaks and those who arrived from France before 1998. The planned reform would see more French residents, including any who have been in New Caledonia for at least 10 years, able to vote. Photo by Gill Chabaud/ABACAPRESS.COM
