The parties said with a Kanak population in mourning, the situation isn't conducive to run a proper referendum campaign.
The anti-independence camp want the December date to be maintained, saying New Caledonia needs clarity. Two previous referendums, in 2018 and 2020, were won by anti-independence supporters.
