Independentists have imposed themselves in the Polynesian elections that continue to depend on France
- Tavini Huira'atira has won 38 representatives in the second round of votes and have been distributed among the other two autonomous parties: Tapura Huiraatira with sixteen seats and A Here la Porinetia with three. The independentists have therefore assumed the authority of the autonomists who until then dominated.
The hunger for independence has spoken in Polynesia that is still dominated by France: the independentists have succeeded in the territorial elections. They have won the absolute majority for the next five years, winning 38 of the 57 seats. Politician and activist Oscar Temaru will be the president of the assembly. ARGIA interviewed in 2018: "This nation did not peacefully give to the French, as they say."
Tapura Huiraatira obtained 38.5% of the votes – sixteen seats – and 17.2% of the votes for A Here la Porinetia, three representatives. This has led them to the power of the independence autonomists. The difference is greater than on the first lap of April 16: Tavini Huira'atira won 34.9% of the votes and Tapura Huiraatira 30.46%.
