Léopold Jorédié (1947 – 8 September 2013) was a former Vice President of the Government of New Caledonia who served under Jean Lèques. As VP he was given a suspended sentence for corruption.[1] In 2007 he was declared unfit to hold public office and declared bankrupt.[2] He was a member of the Federation of Pro-Independence Co-operation Committees.[3] Although the FCCI itself is a moderate nationalist party, from the 1980s onward he was seen as more militant and even open to "armed struggle" against the French.[4]
