Talk:2024 New Caledonia unrest

Current Article is very biased in its writing

It says "which prevent up to one fifth of the population from voting in provincial elections."

But doesn't mention that the issue is with non locals who don't live in Caledonia voting. It makes it seem like the people who live in Caledonia are being prevented from voting. Midgetman433 (talk) 18:03, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

You've misunderstood. 20% of the locals living permanently in New Caledonia are currently not allowed to vote in provincial elections. This is due to a concession that France and the loyalists made to the pro-independence side back in 1998, so that Kanaks would be a greater proportion of the electorate than their proportion of the population. The French government is now proposing that citizens who have been permanent residents for at least ten years should be allowed to vote. Aridd (talk) 07:40, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

"It makes it seem like the people who live in Caledonia are being prevented from voting." - Because 20% of people who live in Caledonia are, in fact, being prevented from voting? --2001:8003:1C20:8C00:21C9:A213:B860:C321 (talk) 00:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Participants in the infobox

Would someone be kind enough to tell me why is it that Azerbaijan and Turkey whose only proof of involvement are allegations by French government officials are included in the infobox? I thought that per the discussion in the Ukraina-Russia War infobox countries were only to be added if they were fighting alongside the main actors? Why the double standards here? There's no Azerbaijani/Turkish soldiers in New Caledonia and no actual proof of direct involvement in the protests.

Part of PCC statement not in quotation marks

The "sisters and brothers" part of the paraphrased PCC statement is a direct quotation from it. It has to be put in quotation marks or otherwise deleted, as that is clearly not a neutral way to phrase it. 2A01:C23:5C73:5800:6473:2D4C:7358:4D8 (talk) 20:56, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

There is an extra space

Date of the European Court's statement?

I do not have access to the full Le Monde article (I canceled my subscription recently.) What is publicly visible suggests that the European Court statement was on 11 January 2005, before the Constitutional amendment in 2007. Also can we really say that Jacques Chirac amended the constitution all by himself @Aréat:?

Why is Turkey included in list of people allegedly supporting and not Russia and China

How is it determined which countries should and should not be included? b/c there seem to be several countries that were named, yet only 2 get put. Midgetman433 (talk) 00:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

The counter protestors claim is also not sourced. Not to mention that the protestors are listed as 9,000 rioters, as if there aren't also people involved in protesting that aren't rioting. This language didn't get used in BLM protests in the US or Hong Kong Protests, as well as Maidan protests in Ukraine, there seems to be a bias here in an attempt to delegitimize the protests.
