Gabonese Democratic Party (Parti démocratique gabonais, PDG) was a political party formed in the then-French colony of Gabon in 1945. It merged with the Gabonese Joint Committee (CMG) of Léon M'ba in August 1953 to form the Gabonese Democratic Bloc (BDG). In 1968, a new party replaced the BDG that was also called Gabonese Democratic Party.

“That’s free enterprise, friends: freedom to gamble, freedom to lose. And the great thing—the truly democratic thing about it—is that you don’t even have to be a player to lose.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The slanders poured down like Niagara. If you take into consideration the setting—the war and the revolution—and the character of the accused—revolutionary leaders of millions who were conducting their party to the sovereign power—you can say without exaggeration that July 1917 was the month of the most gigantic slander in world history.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
