Oceanian Awakening (French: L'Éveil océanien, EO) is a political party in New Caledonia founded in March 2019.
History
The EO was founded in 2019 to compete in the
non-violence. The EO is opposed to separatism for New Caledonia and has taken a neutral stance in the successive independence referendums, with party leader Milakulo Tukumuli stating “We haven’t created a movement to fight for independence or to fight for France – we’ve created a movement to fight poverty in New Caledonia." That's our struggle.” However, the party sits with the pro-separatist bloc in the Congress of New Caledonia in an electoral alliance with the Caledonian Union.[2][3]
