Congratulating Free Palestine Party On Registration09 AugustThe Palestine Forum of New Zealand (PFNZ) has congratulated the Free Palestine Party on its successful registration as a political party in Aotearoa New Zealand, calling it a significant moment for both the Palestine solidarity movement and New Zealand's democratic landscape. The party's registration follows years of sustained public advocacy marches, petitions and direct lobbying calling on New Zealand to take a principled stance on Palestine, international law and Palestinian rights. "For years, thousands of people across Aotearoa have marched, protested, petitioned and written to politicians demanding a principled position on Palestine," a PFNZ spokesperson said. "The registration of a political party dedicated to bringing these issues into Parliament represents a new chapter in that struggle. Palestine must no longer be treated as a peripheral issue in New Zealand foreign policy or domestic political debate."
