LE FIGARO. – After your three-day trip to New Caledonia, what did you get from the separatists? Before your arrival, the FLNKS reiterated its position, which is not to recognize the result of the third and final self-determination referendum of 2021…
Gerald Darmanin. – Things are progressing well. The FLNKS congress appointed a delegation and a week later they agreed to meet with us twice. They have confirmed that they will accept the invitation that the Prime Minister will make to them to come to Paris in mid-April for ten days. At the same time, we will invite the non-independence parties.
