Tapura Huiraatira (lit. 'List of the People') is a political party in French Polynesia. It was founded on 20 February 2016 by members of Tahoera'a Huiraatira (French: Rassemblement populaire), a parliamentary coalition in the Assembly of French Polynesia.[1] It is chaired by Édouard Fritch, the President of French Polynesia. Its first congress was attended by 8,000 people,[2] including 38 Polynesian mayors.[3] Nicole Sanquer is the party's only Member of Parliament.[4]
They wish to maintain political autonomy within the French Republic and continue to grow that relationship while strengthening ties with Oceania, given their geographical position.[5]
The party won 49 percent of the vote and 38 seats in the 2018 French Polynesian legislative election.[6] Fritch was re-elected as President of French Polynesia,[7] while Gaston Tong Sang was elected President of the Assembly.[8]
In March 2019 the party declared its support for La République En Marche! in the 2019 European Parliament election, resulting in criticism from its National Assembly and Senate members over a lack of consultation.[9]
