i somehow get the impression france is in the wrong and this is ending badly for new caledonians?

prettybunnys,

This is a weird situation all around.

New law allowed French citizens who live there for 10 years to vote locally. This opens the door theoretically for a dilution of the vote for “true locals” but enfranchises others.

I don’t know enough personally to weigh in but I don’t see a scenario where France comes out looking good no matter what they do.

Donut,

I might be missing a lot of nuance, but living somewhere for 10 years should be enough to be allowed to vote locally. What was it before? A higher number or not at all?

BastingChemina,

France has been carefully walking on eggs for decades with New Caledonia.

They have been a bit less careful lately and cracked a few eggs.

I don’t know much about the situation either.
