Political heritage

Pidjot was born into a veritable political dynasty as a relative of Rock Pidjot, who was an early elected representative of New Caledonia from 1964 to 1986. From 1956 to 1985 he was the first president of Caledonian Union. At the beginnings he was an autonomist, but later became an independentist. His brother, Raphaël also became a militarist independentist as the president of the South Pacific Society of Miners. (This society was founded by those who wanted to assure the participation of the native Kanak people in the mining of the territory). Raphaël Pidjot and other leaders of the organization died in 2000 in a helicopter accident.
