Thanks to his rigor, integrity and dedication in all areas of his professional and personal life. Ardent defender of human rights, Me Gourgue was also Minister, Ambassador, candidate in the presidential election of Haiti which he could have won.

When Jean Claude Duvalier fell, on February 7, 1986, Me Gérard Gourgue joined Henri Namphy's National Council of Government (CNG).

The fame of Me Gérard Gourgue has crossed borders thanks to his career but also and above all thanks to the remarkable and jovial man he has always been.

The Secretary of State for Communication bows before this emblematic figure who will have marked the history of Haiti and directs his thoughts to his family and loved ones."
