Historical overview:
Established in 2014, AVCVK Pol calls for the independence of the Guadeloupean Archipelago-State. The association fights against immigration, theft, speculation, expropriation, unemployment and the high cost of living. It also aims to research the black origins of the people of Guadeloupe beyond slavery by linking to the Black Pharaohs.
Summary of objectives:
AVCVK Pol's claims include:
- The introduction of a bank holiday for the two abolition dates
- The introduction of a bank holiday to celebrate the reigns of the Black Pharaohs
- The recognition of slavery as a crime against humanity
- The primacy of the enslaved workers’ goods over the enslavers’
- The need to be reimbursed by the country(ies) and/or the family (ies) that benefited from the slave trade
- The restoration of titles and properties for free slaves and landowners from before the second period of slavery
- The denunciation of the existence of a glass ceiling, which means that Caribbean people find it difficult to advance in today's society
- The introduction of a requirement for hiring and training Guadeloupean people, from CEO positions to manuel labourers, for any profit-making company
- The creation of an advanced school of politics for discussing the independence of Guadeloupe (and later training an independent Guadeloupean political class)
- The creation of a Guadeloupean financial scholarship
