Gelonghui May 15| according to CCTVroyalspinsslotsOn May 15, local time, according to the latest communiqué of the Elysee Palace, in view of the continued unrest in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory, French President Macron decided to convene an emergency ministerial meeting at 16:30 on the same day, when New Caledonia was announced to enter a national emergency. The French National Assembly recently debated a constitutional reform bill on New Caledonia that would expand the electorate in provincial elections in the region, but some critics fear that this may marginalize local indigenous people. The French National Assembly finally passed the reform bill with 351 votes in favor and 153 votes against. On the evening of May 13, protests against the reform bill turned into riots. Local security forces were attacked, vehicles were set on fire, and shops were looted. Three people have been killed and hundreds of others injured.
