Massive Protests Erupt in New Zealand Over Controversial Māori Rights Bill

A proposed law in New Zealand aiming to redefine the Treaty of Waitangi has sparked massive protests, with thousands marching to Parliament in Wellington. The bill, introduced by lawmaker David Seymour, seeks to set specific definitions for the treaty's principles, applying them to all New Zealanders rather than just Māori. Critics argue it threatens Māori rights and constitutional stability, while supporters claim it addresses perceived special treatment of Māori. Despite its initial progress, the bill is unlikely to pass, facing widespread opposition from former leaders, legal experts, and the public.
