[HIGHLIGHTS] Separatists win territorial elections in French Polynesia

Polynesian separatists won 44.2% of the vote against 38.5% for outgoing President Edouard Fritch's list. They thus obtained an absolute majority of 38 of the 57 seats in the Territorial Assembly.

MP Moetai Brotherson, who sits in the GDR group in the National Assembly in Paris, is expected to be elected president of the future government. He campaigned on living standards and purchasing power when a large part of the population lives below the poverty line.
