Good thing there was almost nothing built specifically for these Olympics. Plenty of concerns and problems, but at least that one isn’t on the list.

Not that I particularly care to defend the french government, but there was 3 referendums, with voting restrictions in favor of the kanak, as per an agreement between the government and the kanaks. The first 2 went against independence and the kanaks decided to boycott the third (the polling was going against independence, again)

Does that mean all is fine and dandy? Obviously not, but I don’t think the story is as one sided as “classic french colonialism”

Is Belgium also a surprising exception?
