French Pacific results for the first round of French national snap elections have shown on Sunday a firm radicalisation, especially in the case of New Caledonia.
In both of New Caledonia's constituencies, the second round will very much look like a showdown between pro-independence and pro-France contestants.
The French Pacific entity has been gripped by ongoing riots, arson and destruction since mid-May 2024.
The second round of the French national snap election is set down for the 7th of July.
RNZ Pacific Editor Koroi Hawkins spoke with Patrick Decloitre on the RNZ French Pacific desk about the results.
