As a result of the referendum held in the New Caledonia archipelago, which is part of France, the majority of the population voted not to separate from France. This event, against the backdrop of political tension in the region, has curbed a long-standing desire for independence.
Redaksiya reports that the majority of voters participating in the referendum voted to remain part of France, making an important decision regarding the future of the region. This decision means the continuation of New Caledonia's ties with France and the preservation of the region's autonomous status within France. The results of the referendum have caused various reactions among political groups in the region. The French government, evaluating the results positively, expressed its commitment to continuing cooperation with New Caledonia.
New Caledonia, as a region of strategic importance, maintains France's influence in the Pacific Ocean region. The results of the referendum will also affect the economic and social situation in the region. The French government has pledged to continue economic support to the region and implement social programs. Pro-independence supporters, however, have been forced to accept the referendum results but have stated that they will continue their struggle to achieve their goals in the future.
