French Polynesia to consider opposition motions

The 57-member French Polynesia Assembly is preparing to consider two motions of censure filed by the opposition.

The motions, filed on Tuesday, are an attempt to topple the government of President Oscar Temaru and return power to former President Gaston Flosse.

A new law approved earlier this year by the French Parliament calls for a simple majority of the Assembly's members to act on the motions.

I've been there twice, a nearly perfect tropical paradise. Locals hate the French, and adore Americans. Gotta love them for that at least.

I hope that there isn't trouble in paradise. My MIL will be flying to Tahiti in a few hours.

It could happen here

"[I]f two men claim to be the president of French Polynesia and if the main opposition party refuses to concede that it has lost power then a major constitutional crisis is in the making."

Let us hope John "French" Kerry doesn't get any ideas from his Pacific cousins.
