Massive Protests Erupt in Wellington for Maori Rights Amid Proposed Legislation

Tens of thousands gathered in Wellington, New Zealand, to protest against a proposed bill that could threaten the rights of indigenous Maori people. The protest, known as Hikoi, is among the largest in the country’s history, with over 40,000 participants. New Zealand’s youngest MP, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, voiced strong opposition, emphasizing the importance of preserving Maori culture and rights. While the bill faces significant backlash, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon indicated that the National Party would not support it, making its enactment unlikely.
