Default South Pacific New Caledonia votes against independence from France

Lucky France

A Expected Win for staying under French Control
the official result is in a few hours.

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.
