The Labour Party (French: Parti Travailliste) is a political party in New Caledonia. It is part of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), a coalition of political parties advocating for the independence of New Caledonia from France.
The party's ideology is based on socialist and Kanak nationalist principles. It advocates for greater economic and social equality for the indigenous Kanak people and greater recognition of Kanak culture and traditions. The Labour Party generally represents the interests of workers and the underprivileged in New Caledonian society, particularly within the Kanak community.
The party was founded in 2007 by Louis Kotra Uregei, who previously served as a trade unionist. The Labour Party has participated in elections for the Congress of New Caledonia and has held seats, contributing to the debates and political landscape regarding independence, economic development, and social justice. The party's influence fluctuates depending on the political climate and its ability to form alliances with other pro-independence parties within the FLNKS.
