Activists unfurl a banner “No to Bougival!” », in Nouméa, August 20, 2025.

Of the “deep reservations” expressed on the finish of November by the voice of the Calvados deputy Arthur Delaporte on the World to the outright refusal of a “circumvention approach” : Socialist parliamentarians confirmed, Wednesday December 3, that they might not help the early session of New Caledonian voters on the Bougival settlement, deliberate by the federal government for March 15, 2026.

To set up it, a invoice have to be tabled within the Senate in January 2026. It would, in response to Overseas Minister Naïma Moutchou, consolidate the compromise of July 12 signed in Bougival (Yvelines) between separatists and non-independenceists on a future State of New Caledonia. The mission doesn’t obtain consensus within the territory, and the required majority doesn’t exist in Parliament to incorporate it in a constitutional legislation.

The help of the socialists would have been decisive. But throughout a gathering of the contact group on New Caledonia within the Senate on Wednesday, underneath the presidency of Gérard Larcher, their teams within the National Assembly and the Senate printed a letter addressed to Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu through which they requested him to droop the early session.
