    Paris is actually quite close to New Caledonia…provided you go through the center of the Earth. I’m sure controlling an island on the other side of the world is a trivial task that the French will surely succeed in! /s

    Sounds like from the article they actually are protesting to give less people the right to vote. That sounds worse.

      Yeah, France is trying to expand voting rights to recent settlers because the indigenous community is getting closer and closer to passing a vote for independence. It’s a desperate attempt to stop it. Fuck France
