Separatists in the French Overseas Pacific territory of New Caledonia have renewed pressure on Paris to drop a planned voting reform that triggered weeks of deadly unrest.
The Socialist Kanak National Liberation Front (FLNKS) – named for the indigenous people who fear being marginalised by the changes – said President Emmanuel Macron should "be clear in his words by stating clearly he will ... abandon the constitutional reform", which has yet to be approved by both houses of France's parliament.
