With a French President who wants a clear change from his predecessor’s policies, a disengagement seems obvious, but, institutionally, it yet has to be defined which is the best way for France to continue to « shine » in Oceania. What is certain - despite contradictory speeches - is that the financial windfall that used to irrigate French Polynesia will decrease and that controls on the spending of Government subsidies will multiply. Will there ultimately be a « less central Government for better central Government »? |
