Générations NC
Générations NC (GNC) is a political party in New Caledonia. It is led by Nicolas Metzdorf who is also the party's only Member of Parliament. History GNC was established by former members of Caledonia Together who had grown disillusioned with the party's course under Philippe Gomès and disagreed with its consideration of a tactical collaboration with pro-separatist parties in the South Province against The Rally and Caledonian Republicans which they saw as a betrayal of Caledonia Together's anti-independence policy. Politically, the GNC is a loyalist and anti-separatist party which supports maintaining New Caledonia's status as part of overseas France. It also calls for the ''No'' results of the 2018 and 2021 New Caledonian independence referendums to be respected. However, in contrast to the traditional stance of the more right-orientated anti-separatist movements, GNC describes itself as socially liberal and promotes a distinct New Caledonian multi-racial identity with ...

Separatism
Separatism is the advocacy of cultural, ethnic, tribal, religious, racial, regional, governmental, or gender separation from the larger group. As with secession, separatism conventionally refers to full political separation. Groups simply seeking greater autonomy are usually not considered separatists. Some discourse settings equate separatism with religious segregation, racial segregation, or sex segregation, while other discourse settings take the broader view that separation by choice may serve useful purposes and is not the same as government-enforced segregation. There is some academic debate about this definition, and in particular how it relates to secessionism, as has been discussed online. Separatist groups practice a form of identity politics, or political activity and theorizing founded in the shared experiences of the group's members. Such groups believe attempts at integration with dominant groups compromise their identity and ability to pursue greater self-determina ...
