Editorial: Liberation

• Macron finally understands it's harmful to persist and tries not to impose electoral body reform causing violence and tensions in New Caledonia.
• The absence of a common future vision in New Caledonia underscores the need for more foresight before attempting the reform.
• Ministers who didn't accurately assess the situation, such as Gérald Darmanin, are under criticism.
• Though the situation in New Caledonia is complex, it necessitates conversation and dialogue due to that complexity.
• There are too many structural and occasional problems, which implies that this issue can't be treated with violence.

Conclusion: New Caledonia deserves more than just hastily-made unilateral decisions, given the interest it sparks in the Pacific, especially for China.
