Deeming the health emergency law contrary to the principles of the Noumea Agreement and the State as a “partisan and disloyal interlocutor”, the UC officially requests the dismissal of the High Commissioner, as well as that of the Commander of the armed forces of New Caledonia.
Laurent Prévost in turmoil. In an open letter to Caledonian citizens, made public this Monday, May 18, the Union Calédonienne officially requests his dismissal and that of his teams. As well as that of the commander of the armed forces ” who secretly let in and out his soldiers, his gendarmes, his partially infested crew and these 62 men again this night. At this hierarchical level, these facts are serious and cannot be the result of an awkward excess of power or a fault, they stem more from a will whose results one seeks to understand. “
The state of health emergency: the controversy persists
Displaying the will to protect the Caledonians from the global pandemic of Covid-19, the UC also demands the suspension of ” all theft exemptions from abroad and from Metropolitan France as long as the body of laws adopted within the framework of the sanitary emergency in Metropolitan France, is not withdrawn for New Caledonia “
The law extending the state of health emergency, passed on May 11 in the National Assembly, is still controversial. In an open letter to the president of the government, last week, Daniel Goa already mentioned ” the deleterious effect of the provisions of this text concerning the health, safety and even the very existence of the populations of our country ”
Appeal to the population
For Daniel Goa, ” the time has come to envisage a new political strategy within the framework only of a colonized-colonizer relationship and the culmination of a result very quickly over time ” He thus calls on officials of the Caledonian Union and the population to react. ” If these authorities were to persist in this desire to remove the confinement barriers, if resident or non-resident citizens had to assert their right in court to avoid confinement, we would organize ourselves by appealing to the population to protect our country by all possible ways and we will assume “
