The French Senate has approved a new law aimed at ending political instability in French Polynesia. Three years of constantly changing governments, with five Presidents and four motions of no confidence, has led to France, which provides many subsidies to its overseas territories, to lose patience. The new law has been proposed by the new French Minister of State for Overseas Territories Christian Estrosi.

Presenter: Elsa Klockenbring
Speakers: Gaston Tong Sang, former French Polynesian president
