The top of the Reconquest list! points out similarities between the insurrection in New Caledonia and the riots of the summer of 2023 in mainland France, evoking “anti-French hatred” and “anti-white racism”.
The time for appeasement in New Caledonia has come, for the Élysée. A desire for pacification which must result in the lifting of the state of emergency from this Monday at 8 p.m. Paris time, Tuesday at 5 a.m. in Nouméa. The announcement comes after two weeks of insurrection which left seven dead on the Pacific archipelago. The toll, although higher than that of the riots which broke out in mainland France last summer, makes Marion Maréchal fear a resurgence of violence in France. “What is happening today in New Caledonia is being watched by part of Seine-Saint-Denis. The weakness of State authority risks having extremely serious repercussions for those who can see through this weakness the possibility of subverting the situation and endangering the French., worried the head of the Reconquest list! in the Europeans this Monday in the show “Télématin”, on France 2.
“Anti-French hatred” and “anti-white racism”
If the tensions in New Caledonia find their origin in the contested reform of the electoral body, Marion Maréchal did not hesitate to draw a comparison with the riots of the summer of 2023 following the death of Nahel Merzouk, killed in Nanterre by a police officer after refusing to comply. “I see the same kind of speech. We find justifications for the fact that young people assault, attack, burn, break, steal TVs, sneakers, all against a backdrop of anti-French hatred and anti-white racism. she said. And to question: “Doesn’t that remind us of anything? It reminds me of the riots at the time of Nahel. It reminds me of when we explained that breaking, pillaging, burning was a political demand. I don’t see any political demands.” For the candidate Reconquête!, given at 6.5% in the latest Ifop-Fiducial poll for Le FigaroLCI and Sud Radio, the Caledonian insurrection boils down to “independence organizations which are supported by foreign interference”. Pointing out the role of Azerbaijan and China, the nationalist accused the two powers of “breath[r] on the embers » in order to “get your hands on this territory”.
Activate Siege
Firmly opposed to holding a fourth referendum, as suggested on Saturday by Emmanuel Macron in The ParisianMarion Maréchal reiterated her wish to“enable the state of siege » in New Caledonia. The system, provided for in article 36 of the Constitution, is even more exceptional than the state of emergency, in force since May 15 on the archipelago. The vice-president of Reconquest! justified his proposal by the “war scenes” which would be current in New Caledonia.
