Emmanuel Macron hails ‘new chapter’ for New Caledonia as politicians agree on statehood after 10 days of talks

06/07/2025

French President Emmanuel Macron's has unveiled a range of options regarding New Caledonia's future political status at a "New Caledonia summit" in Paris this week.

Speaking at the opening session of an open-ended forum dedicated to the French Pacific territory - but behind closed doors - Macron was reported as mentioning, as part of a range of possible options, an "associated State" status for New Caledonia, with a "strong link with France".

Other options mentioned by the French Head of State include a status quo or a "large autonomy".

However, all options would be tied to a necessary "reconstruction" and refoundation" period of "15 to 20 years" in order to rebuild New Caledonia's economic and social fabric that has been severely damaged following riots that took place in May 2024.

The riots resulted in 14 deaths and over €2 billion in material damage, triggering a downfall of an estimated 15 to 20 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and leaving thousands of people unemployed.

After violent civil unrest rocked Nouméa in 2024, nearly 11,000 people left , most of them French nationals. Among them was Renaud Mahé, a hotel manager who helped evacuate stranded guests before relocating his family to French Polynesia.

The violence, sparked by proposed electoral reforms, left deep scars: 13 dead, widespread destruction, and a collapsing local economy. The territory now faces a shortage of doctors, mass unemployment, and a shrinking population.

With political dialogue slowly resuming, hopes rest on a lasting agreement between pro- and anti-independence groups. As Mahé put it: "My hope would be for a quick solution… it's going to be very tough on whoever stayed behind."
