France reschedules New Caledonia’s political future vote to Feb 2026, amid divided local factions.
French Overseas Minister Naïma Moutchou concluded a five-day visit to New Caledonia, announcing a rescheduled consultation on the territory’s political future for February 2026, without new financial commitments.
The move follows the July 2025 Bougival agreement, which aims to establish a "State of New Caledonia" and transfer powers like foreign affairs.
The Kanak Liberation Party (PALIKA) formally split from the pro-independence FLNKS, citing strategy disagreements after the 2024 unrest, and reaffirmed support for sovereignty through dialogue.
The FLNKS rejected the Bougival deal, calling it insufficient, and remains opposed to negotiations.
Moutchou emphasized open dialogue and left the door open for future talks, though no new details were provided.
