New wave of political instability on a national scale, with the fall of the government of Michel Barnier. The deputy for the second constituency Emmanuel Tjibaou reacted this Thursday, December 5 on NC La 1ere, to the vote on the motion of censure adopted at the National Assembly in Paris.

NC the 1st: L’adoption of the motion of censure comes on this special day of commemoration. How do you view the progress you have made?
Emmanuel Tjibaou: This duty to remember is not simply limited to the history of Hienghène or that of Tiendanite. It is the story of our entire country and the contradiction that exists today in completing the decolonization process.
We have been heirs to this memory since 1985. This is the meaning of our exchanges through the commemorations which take place each year with a particular component because it has been 40 years today. This work of memory is the fruit of a generation.
I was 8 years old at the time of the events. Today I am 48. I don't want my children to go through the same thing again. This is the meaning of my commitment, that of the people of the valley, the people of the seaside and all those who arrive today.
Ultimately, we commemorate not simply the history of this incomprehension which caused people to clash to the point of bloodshed, but which today allows us to assume and take a peaceful look at decolonization and in any case the path which We still have to accomplish towards a more peaceful future.
NC the 1st: What consequences on political discussions with the fall of the Barnier government?
Emmanuel Tjibaou: I agree with Gil Brial's statements on your radio this afternoon regarding the current critical situation.
The last congress of the Caledonian Union gave us a mandate to discuss. We are now asking the government to clarify the framework for these negotiations. I think that was also the meaning of the words of MP Nicolas Metzdorf.

Clarifying the framework will allow us to sit around the table. We had the committee of signatories, then there were the partners. And at the start of the year, there were attempts made by everyone. When the Barnier government arrives, we are told that it will try a new method and wipe the slate clean… We said negative!
We must improve the progress that was made by loyalists and separatists and which was stopped by what happened on May 13.

If the mandate is assumed today by the two presidents of the chamber, Yaël Braun-Pivet
for the National Assembly and Gérard Larcher for the Senate, a method must be determined in any case. And then, we already know the calendar. We decided to postpone it, in order to ensure these discussions. This is what we discussed at Canala during its last congress.
If the State is to regain control, today, of course, there is no longer an executive. We are told that there is still a boss, it is Mr. Macron.
