    That’s completely inaccurate. They are rioting so that immigrants from mainland France will not be allowed to vote.

      Did you read the article? The change being made is that the voter eligibility list hasn’t been updated in 25 years. Yes that means recent “immigrants” from France (New Caledonia is France, at least for now) can’t vote.

      It also means people under 40 can’t vote…
