English version   This Monday, April 27, 2026, Franck Nguema, a former minister of Ali Bongo, presented to the public a political and social essay entitled “What is good for the Gabonese is good for Gabon”. This act marked his return to public life after a hiatus of a few months. Many politicians have often used philanthropy as a vehicle for image laundering.

Based on Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables (1862), the character of Inspector Javert went beyond the framework of the novel to become a common name designating an icy and absolute vision of authority.
