CALL FOR INDEPENDENCE SPREADS THROUGH THE POLYNESIAN TRIANGLE !

Tahiti's President Calls For Self-Determination Decision

(Tahitipresse) - While France's overseas minister was explaining the role between the state and the territory during his official visit, French Polynesia President Oscar Temaru was telling an agriculture forum on Taha'a about self-determination, economic autonomy and his newly proposed "Tahiti Accords".

Temaru also reaffirmed his wish to make Tahiti and Her Islands evolve towards a committed self-determination in a consensual manner.

Temaru's recent comments about independence prompted one elected official on Taha'a to ask Tahiti's president to provide some clarity on the political progress currently underway, noting that there has been talk of the people deciding within 10 or 15 years whether they want French Polynesia to become independent.

Is Hawai`i Next ?
