\u00ab\u00a0<\/span>Cr\u00e9dit Martiniquais: Is Its Demise Inevitable?<\/b> \u00bb\u2014and the title of your article itself has one too many characters: the \u00ab?\u00bb.\".<\/p>\nIn fact, Maurice Laouchez<\/b> clearly stated in the book<\/b> which he published to recount his journey at the helm of Cr\u00e9dit Agricole de la Martinique\u2014and to show what can happen to those who take their responsibilities seriously\u2026<\/p>\n
You must remember that he had to go on a \u00abHUNGER STRIKE\u00bb right in the middle of the avenue where \u00abhis\u00bb bank was located in order to save his honor AND to give the people of Martinique\u2014or at least those who want to\u2014 decipher<\/b> the ins and outs of our \u00ablocal\u00bb reality.<\/p>\n
In this book, in addition to Maurice\u2019s unflinching account of his exemplary struggle, TWO<\/b> information that can or should help identify the person or persons who MUST BE IDENTIFIED.<\/p>\n
1\/ On page \u00abxx\u00bb\u2014I\u2019ll leave it up to our readers to find it\u2014Maurice recounts how, as a young (and brilliant) student, he was visited by\u2026 Guess who\u2026<\/p>\n
>> General De Gaulle<\/strong>, yes, the greatest head of state France has known since Louis XIV, and that during that conversation, he had spoken about Martinique, its problems, and\u2026 the OJAM.<\/p>\nPersonally, I\u2019ve always linked this visit to the fact that, around the same time, the \u00abYoung People\u00bb (??) of the OJAM,\u00a0 <\/span>were in prison, and that one of them\u2014perhaps the most symbolic of them all\u2014, Henri Armougon<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>had clung to the bars of his cell and screamed\u2014loudly, very loudly\u2014on that freezing early morning at the end of winter =<\/p>\n\u00ab\u00a0 MARTINIQUE FOR THE PEOPLE OF MARTINIQUE<\/b>\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n
I am quoting Armougon (Rico Armougon) deliberately, because it seems to me that in these times\u2014from 2020 to 2026\u2014people are looking down on those of \u00abIndo descent.\u00bb\u00a0 <\/span>or \u00abpeople of Syrian descent\u00bb \u2026 (Well, maybe we\u2019ll talk about that later\u2026?).<\/p>\n2\/ But the second important piece of information cited in Maurice's book, on page zz, is this >> The end of\u2026CREDIT MARTINIQUAIS<\/b>.<\/p>\n
That's right: this \u00ablocal\u00bb bank;\u00a0 <\/span>which brought together \u00ablocal\u00bb entrepreneurs (i.e., \u00abB\u00e9k\u00e9s\u00bb or \u00abMulattoes\u00bb) and \u00ablocal\u00bb companies and entrepreneurs<\/p>\n\u2014-<\/p>\n
Do you think these two events are related?<\/strong><\/h3>\nOr are not related?<\/strong><\/p>\nDo they have political significance or not?<\/strong><\/p>\nWhether they stem from a \u00abcentral\u00bb initiative\u00bb\u00a0 <\/span>Or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2014\u2013<\/strong><\/p>\nHenri (Luc) Pied<\/b><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
