New Caledonia's government collapses after key party resigns over €1 billion loan dispute.

On Christmas Eve, New Caledonia's government collapsed due to a mass resignation of members from the Calédonie Ensemble party, led by Environment and Sustainable Development Minister Jérémie Katidjo-Monnier. The resignations stem from tensions over a proposed €1 billion loan from France for reconstruction following recent riots. A new government election is scheduled within 15 days under the territory's 1999 organic law.
