Serge Fourcand, ansyen Minis Komès pandan rejim Jean-Claude Duvalier, kraze silans li aprè 27 an lè li pale avèk Michèle Montas sou Radyo Ayiti. Li te akize nan zafè temb Audubon, aprè sa yo te arete l, epi li chwazi pran egzil. Li di menm si li te manm kabinè Duvalier a, li pa t janm fè pati ti gwoup ki t ap patisipe nan gwo magouy leta. Li eksplike ke vrè komanditè krim fwòd Audubon an -- Paul Blanchet, Aurélien Jeanty, ak Rock Raymond -- te voye bay papa Fourcand konfesyon epi mande l eskiz poutèt yo te fè fos akizasyon sou Fourcand. Fourcand pale sou liv li a, ki rele « Entre le Vice et la Violence. Un Virage Raté» ki abòde kesyon koripsyon ak vyolans sistematik peryòd Duvalier a. Nan fen entèvyou a, Fourcand ak Montas pale sou negosyasyon Fourcand te fè sou konpayi bòksit Reynolds lan lè li te minis, ak sou patisipasyon Ayiti nan KARIKOM.
Serge Fourcand, the former Minister of Commerce under Jean-Claude Duvalier, breaks his silence after twenty-seven years, and speaks with Michèle Montas on Radio Haiti. He was implicated in the 1975 Audubon stamp affair and subsequently arrested then voluntarily went into exile. He says that while he was a member of Duvalier's cabinet, he was never part of the inner circle that was participating in state corruption. He describes the confessions and apologies given to Fourcand's father by Paul Blanchet, Aurélien Jeanty, and Rock Raymond -- the principal authors of the crime -- for having falsely accused Fourcand. Fourcand discusses his book Entre le Vice et la Violence. Un Virage Raté, which discusses the corruption and systematic violence of the Duvalier era. Fourcand and Montas end with discussion of Fourcand's negotations over the Reynolds bauxite mines while he was minister, and of Haiti's participation in CARICOM.
Serge Fourcand, l'ancien ministre du Commerce sous Jean-Claude Duvalier, s'exprime publiquement pour la première fois après vingt-sept de silence sur Radio Haïti avec Michèle Montas. Il fut mis en cause dans l'affaire des timbres Audubon en 1975 et choisit l'exil volontaire après son arrestation. Il déclare que bien qu'il ait été membre du cabinet de Duvalier, il ne fit jamais partie du clan interne qui trempait dans la corruption gouvernementale. Il raconte que les vrais auteurs de la fraude – Paul Blanchet, Aurélien Jeanty et Rock Raymond – allèrent voir son père pour se confesser et s'excuser de l'avoir faussement accusé. Il parle aussi de son livre « Entre le Vice et la Violence. Un Virage Raté » qui porte sur la corruption et la violence systématique de l'ère Duvalier. Fourcand et Montas terminent leur discussion en abordant les négociations menées par Fourcand lors de son passage au gouvernement vis-à-vis des mines de bauxite Reynolds et la participation d'Haïti au CARICOM.
