A French parliamentary commission has called on France to formally apologize to French Polynesia for the nuclear tests conducted there over three decades, which caused harmful radiation exposure and severe health and environmental consequences. The report, authored by deputies Didier Le Gac and Mereana Reid Arb, includes 45 recommendations aimed at improving victim compensation frameworks. The nuclear testing period was marked by governmental opacity. Concurrently, the 40th anniversary of the 1985 bombing of Greenpeace's ship, the Rainbow Warrior, in Auckland, New Zealand, has drawn renewed attention. The attack, authorized at the highest levels of the French government under President François Mitterrand and executed by the DGSE (France's foreign intelligence agency), aimed to disrupt Greenpeace's campaign against the nuclear tests in Moruroa. The bombing resulted in the death of photographer Fernando Pereira and sparked an international scandal that damaged France's reputation. Investigations and recent publications continue to revisit the event, highlighting state responsibility and the broader context of France's nuclear testing program in the Pacific.
