Haiti - Politic : The Executive open to dialogue with the opposition, but... 24/08/2014 14:24:37
The Minister Hériveaux considered that the dialogue for the elections had already been done "We are not going to remake a El Rancho and / or Best Western, but we will move forward in the electoral process," adding that the executive is ready to honor the invitation of the Senate, but to talk about other things that elections affirming "Anyway, we will have elections at the end of this year [...] the President, Prime Minister and the Government, we are focused on the absolute necessity that there be elections this year [...] Whatever the circumstances, the rule of law must prevail. Peace and stability must be safeguarded," stating that "Three-quarters of senators want to work.it is necessary that senators get up one day and say enough is enough," recalling that six senators "want to plunge the country into chaos [...] they are certainly enough to lock the quorum at meetings, but not the process of elections [...]" In its response to the request for dialogue of the Senate President, the President Martelly responds "[...] Provided with the power conferred to me by section 136 of the Constitution, I would not refuse my help if I received a clear signal from you in this regard [...]" Article 136 :"The President of the Republic, Head of State, ensures compliance and enforcement of the Constitution and to the stability of institutions. It ensures the proper functioning of the public authorities and the continuity of the state" While reminding the President of the Senate that following the meeting on August 11 at the National Palace "[...] with our friends in the international community and the members of the electoral institution, we decided to contact our partners signatories of the Inter-Haitiand agreement and consult them on the provisions contained therein in order to move forward with the electoral process, given the failure of the Senate. This was held under the letter of the same date of CEP https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11798-haiti-elections-the-cep-confirms-that-there-will-be-no-elections-october-26-2014.html demanding to consider a new calendar for the elections. It is therefore on this point that we separated, on the favorable opinion of at least two thirds of the signatories present and our friends in the international community, it is necessary to remember that. However I remain willing and available to meet you if you want to find a solution to the impasse which prevents you to vote in the Senate the amendments to the electoral law after more than 146 days of submission by the Chamber of Deputies." About this famous dialogue requested by the Senate, the Minister Hériveaux wants to be clear "[...] it's to pass the time, so that the elections are not held [...] I make a commitment to say that it will not happen [...] How someone can sign an agreement today and tomorrow require another ?" Returning to the application of Article 12 of the Agreement of El Rancho he declare, "We would not want to reach this step but this is our last resort" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11863-haiti-elections-towards-the-application-of-article-12-of-the-agreement-el-rancho.html Ultimate solution? Not so sure... Senator Edwin Zenny, to end the blockade of G6, is willing to resign along with four other colleagues to invalidate the Upper House. Senators Lucien Dérex Pierre-Louis and Jean Willy Jean-Baptiste are ready to follow Senator Zenny, while two of his colleagues Senators Wencesclass Lambert and François Lucas St-Vil, think again before making this decision. Note that Senator Zenny had already expressed this hypothesis, in late July, saying the time was "Starting tonight, I will engage in discussions with five pro-government senators to know what to do," not ruling out to resigning while stressing "If I quit, I can not make the dysfunctional Senate, but if 3 resign..." https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11715-haiti-politic-we-plan-to-lead-the-country-to-general-elections-dixit-moise.html If this solution becomes a reality, the Senate lapsed with only 15 senators, would allow then President, Michel Martelly, under Article 136 of the Constitution, to govern by decrees having the force of law until the installation of the next parliament with a complete legislative body after the next election. Note that last Thursday, the Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe, received in his private residence in Port-au-Prince, the five senators close to the Executive to consider ways and means to defuse the pre-electoral crisis including through the Article 12 of the El Rancho agreement. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10763-haiti-politic-the-core-group-welcomes-the-inter-haitian-agreement.html See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11863-haiti-elections-towards-the-application-of-article-12-of-the-agreement-el-rancho.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11808-haiti-elections-the-cep-wants-elections-by-the-end-of-the-year-if-possible.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11798-haiti-elections-the-cep-confirms-that-there-will-be-no-elections-october-26-2014.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11780-haiti-politic-blocking-of-election-the-opposition-rejects-the-accusations.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11755-haiti-politic-the-senators-propose-29-amendments-to-the-electoral-law.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11741-haiti-politic-senators-of-g6-have-suicidal-behavior-dixit-michel-brunache.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11715-haiti-politic-we-plan-to-lead-the-country-to-general-elections-dixit-moise.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11649-haiti-elections-112-days-that-the-amended-electoral-law-expects-to-be-ratified-by-the-senate.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11412-haiti-news-some-news-here-and-there.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11401-haiti-politic-vote-of-the-electoral-law-failure-tuesday-resumption-this-wednesday.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11001-haiti-news-some-news-here-and-there.html SL/ TB/ HaitiLibre
