Assemblée de la Polynésie française

The Assemblée de la Polynésie française (Assembly of French Polynesia) is the legislative body of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France. It is responsible for enacting laws and overseeing the government of French Polynesia. The Assembly is currently newsworthy due to a significant political split within the pro-independence Tavini Huiraatira party. Fourteen members of the Tavini group have left to form a new party called A Fano Ti’a. This defection represents a major shift in the political landscape of French Polynesia, potentially impacting the balance of power within the Assembly and influencing future policy decisions. The split highlights internal divisions within the independence movement and could reshape the political dynamics of the region.
