“We are looking forward to the appointment of the new government”said the president of the Medef of New Caledonia, Mimsy Daly, on franceinfo on Monday August 26, from the Medef summer university in Paris, three months after the start of the riots linked to a draft reform of the Constitution which aims to expand the electoral body to people who have resided for ten years in New Caledonia.
According to the business leader, the absence of a fully functioning government “is clearly a handicap.” “New Caledonia, like France, cannot wait. We need the issue to become a priority again at the State level, because without the State, we will not get through this.”
“We need a fully functioning government”she continued, assuring that “The problem is that wherever you look, nothing is going well. All our services are falling apart one after the other.” “Today, all public aid is being cut”continued Mimsy Daly. “The health sector is bankrupt and social assistance is being cut one after the other. This is a social emergency, not just an economic one.”
According to the head of Medef in the archipelago, “New Caledonia deserves an interministerial committee” within the next government. “Given the many issues, we need to have a dedicated team, or at least the mobilisation of several sectors to look into our problems.” “Today, it is not so much the colour of the government that interests us, it is above all the attention that it will be able to pay to New Caledonia.”she finished.
