Anti-vax march

Pro-independence party joins French Polynesia anti-vax march

More than 500 people gathered outside the assembly building in Papeete in what has become a weekly rally by the group Nunaa a tia against what they call injustice.

The vaccination law was due to come into effect at the end of last week, but amid continued opposition to it, the government decided not to apply it before December 23rd.

While the Tavini membership is split on the vaccination law, the party used the gathering to demand the territory's sovereignty and to express its opposition to any plans by France to explore or mine the seabed.
