FLNKS rejection of BougivalThe FLNKS and its majority component, Union Calédonienne, said that from now on, while maintaining dialogue with France, they would refuse to talk further about the Bougival text or any related subject.
The FLNKS also demands that any further talks with France should take place in New Caledonia and under the supervision of its President.
“We have made this effort at Bougival, to find a middle way which is installing concord between those two aspirations.
He also deplored that, in the view of numerous reactions following the FLNKS rejection of the Bougival text, his political group was now being “stigmatised”.
Ahead of the French minister’s visit, the FLNKS has launched a “peaceful” campaign revolving around the slogan “No to Bougival”.
