Another Vote will be in 2020, there.



[New Caledonia became a penal colony in 1864, and from the 1860s until the end of the transportations in 1897,
France sent about 22,000 criminals and political prisoners to New Caledonia. ]

Yeah but they still have like two more referendums until 2022, so they will get independence one day for sure.
I've been there a couple of times for work and for myself and I really love it. The islands are amazing. But the situation has to evolve somehow. Thankfully we don't have any conflicts like we used to in the 80's.
