Violent Anti-France Protests break out in its Territory of New Caledonia | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Violent protests broke out in the French overseas territory of New Caledonia. Reports say over 50 police officers were injured and businesses and cars were burnt down. More than 80 protesters have been arrested and a curfew has been imposed in New Caledonia. The protests are in response to a new rule being debated in the French Assembly. France had frozen voting rights in New Caledonia back in 1998. This was to ensure that immigrants would not politically outnumber New Caledonia's indigenous Melanesian Kanak people. But now, France wants to undo the voting freeze, and the voting power of the indigenous Kanak people might get reduced overnight.
