French President Emmanuel Macron has scheduled a regular meeting of the country's defense and national security council to discuss the situation in New Caledonia for Monday, French broadcaster BFMTV reported, citing the Elysee Palace.
On May 13, a peaceful demonstration against a bill on voting rights spiraled into unrest in Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia.
Protesters, including many minors, were robbing and setting fire to stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and car centers.
On Thursday, French lawmakers voted in favor of the bill 351 to 153 as unrest continued.
