Amédée Fengarol
Amédée Fengarol (born 30 March 1905 in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe; died 11 January 1951 in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe) was a Guadeloupean politician. He died in the street on the day of his election as communist Mayor (France), mayor of Pointe-à-Pitre. The cause of death was contested, the communist party and the newspaper ''L'Étincelle'' continued for years to maintain he was assassinated, yet other witnesses confirm no trace of blood on his shirt and that he may have died of natural causes. In either case the accusation of foul play continued to destabilise the socialist government of Paul Valentino who had succeeded in getting himself reelected as mayor.''Construire l'histoire antillaise'' Lucien-René Abénon, Danielle Bégot, Jean-Pierre Sainton - 2002 "Aujourd'hui, de nombreux membres témoins en 1951 de ces événements, affirment qu 'Amédée Fengarol est mort de sa belle mort.

People From Capesterre-Belle-Eau
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mayors Of Places In Guadeloupe
In many countries, a mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government such as that of a city or a town. Worldwide, there is a wide variance in local laws and customs regarding the powers and responsibilities of a mayor as well as the means by which a mayor is elected or otherwise mandated. Depending on the system chosen, a mayor may be the chief executive officer of the municipal government, may simply chair a multi-member governing body with little or no independent power, or may play a solely ceremonial role. A mayor's duties and responsibilities may be to appoint and oversee municipal managers and employees, provide basic governmental services to constituents, and execute the laws and ordinances passed by a municipal governing body (or mandated by a state, territorial or national governing body). Options for selection of a mayor include direct election by the public, or selection by an elected governing council or board. The term ''mayor'' shares a linguistic ...

Communist Members Of The French Resistance
Communism () is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement, whose goal is the creation of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products in society based on need.: "One widespread distinction was that socialism socialised production only while communism socialised production and consumption." A communist society entails the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately money and the state. Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a libertarian socialist approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers' self-management, and an authoritarian socialist, vanguardist, or party-driven approach to establish a socialist state, which is expected to wither away. Communist parties have been described as radica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
