 France tries to prevent us from gaining independence - Polynesian politician

France is trying in every possible way to prevent the overseas territories from gaining independence, the representative of Tāvini Huiraʻatira, a pro-independence political party in French Polynesia, Heinui Le Caill, said at a press conference, AzVision.az reports. 

Le Caill noted that the decolonization of French Polynesia has been going on for 40 years.

“We have seen many deaths over the years. During this period France tried to destroy our national consciousness and native language,” he said.

Le Caill also emphasized that for complete colonization, France tried to apply the French model of society in these territories.

“Throughout history, France has tested nuclear weapons on our territory about 200 times. They sacrificed us to protect themselves,” the politician added.
