The social conflicts, it is initially the sign of a bad social dialog, which thus should be improved. It is not any more competence of the State, but I think that the services of the State will have to imply itself in the dialog. I will imply myself there and, if need be, but that comes afterwards, I will be able to show firmness. This message was interpreted like a will to continue the policy of its predecessor consisting in supporting before all the dialog while calling with more coordinations between the services of the High commissionership, in load of public safety, and the Government of New Caledonia, was responsible for the management of the industrial relations policy.
