Ronald St. Jean pale sou yon chèk 25.000 HTG Jeneral Régala ak Namphy te bay papa l, ansanm avèk pwomès yo ka ede l jwenn viza pou ale Ozetazini. Daprè Ronald St. Jean, yo fè sa pou montre moun Gonayiv yo gen yon bon rapò avèk fanmi Pollux St. Jean. Rejim Duvalier te arete epi touye Pollux St. Jean paske yo di li t ap patisipe nan yon konplo pou ranvèse rejim nan. Arestasyon ak lanmò Pollux St. Jean tounen yon revandikasyon enpòtan pou opozan Duvalier yo nan Gonayiv.
Ronald St. Jean discusses a 25,000 HTG check his father received from Generals Régala and Namphy, along with promises of a US visa. According to Ronald St. Jean, this was in order to show people in Gonaïves that the government had a good relationship with the family of Pollux St. Jean. Pollux St. Jean was arrested and killed by the Duvalier regime after being accused of participating in a plot to overthrow the regime; his arrest and death became an important cause for anti-Duvalier activists in Gonaïves.
Ronald St. Jean parle du chèque de 25,000 HTG envoyé à son père par les généraux Régala et Namphy avec la promesse d'un visa pour les États-Unis. Selon lui, ce geste était destiné à prouver aux habitants des Gonaïves que le gouvernement entretenait de bonnes relations avec la famille de Pollux St. Jean. Pollux St. Jean fut arrêté et exécuté par le régime après avoir été accusé d'avoir participé à un complot pour renverser Duvalier ; son arrestation et sa mort devinrent une revendication importante pour les opposants anti-Duvalier aux Gonaïves.
