Compulsory vaccination of the population is no longer "a taboo subject" in New Caledonia.
This is what Louis Mapou (independence activist), president of the Caledonian government, who is "seriously" studying this possibility said for one of the rare territories free from Covid-19.
While only 28.65% of the population is fully vaccinated, Louis Mapou felt that it was "too little" and deplored this lack of "concern" in the face of an increasingly close threat.
In French Polynesia, a "disastrous" situation
He notably mentioned the "disastrous" situation in French Polynesia.
“Our Polynesian brothers tell us that they are choosing the sick.
We don't want to go through this, so everyone has to do it, ”he urged.
The center-right party Caledonia together, for its part, announced the tabling of an amendment in Congress, to make vaccination compulsory "to achieve collective immunity by the end of the year".
He also fears “the slaughter that the Polynesians are going through”.
