Haiti - Politic : Uncertainty around the funeral of JC Duvalier 09/10/2014 12:49:16
President Martelly participates in a Forum in Trinidad and Tobago https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12236-haiti-news-some-news-here-and-there.html Prime Minister Lamothe is in Washington https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12230-haiti-reconstruction-laurent-lamothe-in-washington-dc.html and Lucien Jura, the Spokesman of the Presidency seems not found and very quiet since his announcement on Monday when he declared "This should be a state funeral, is what the protocol requires, because it is a former head of state. But we do not know yet if we will take the decision to lower the flag and declare national mourning," https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12234-haiti-politic-what-funeral-for-jc-duvalier.html , a statement that sparked the controversy. At the National Palace, no one wants to speak officially, rumors run in the corridors, some to the effect that there will be no National funeral, others speak of a formal ceremony, others prefer not to say anything... But they all agree to recognize that this is a delicate and embarrassing case for the President, which must protect themselves of an opposition in ambush, who expects only one error on his part to spark new hostilities. The only information confirmed by Me Reynold Georges, one of the lawyer of Duvalieris that the funeral of former President will be held Saturday, Oct. 11, in the premises of the Institution St. Louis de Gonzague in Delmas from 7 a.m. and it would be an ordinary ceremony open to the public. He regretted that the President Martelly who wished according to him, state funeral, would finally changed his mind under pressure from various groups and personalities... He confirms the presence Saturday of delegations from provinces, but is not able to confirm [or does not want] if there will be government officials to the funeral of former President or if something special is planned... Pending a formal statement of the Government. Moreover, the family of President Jean Claude Duvalier officially published the obituary and sympathies to the families, friends and relatives and indicated that it will receive this Thursday, October 9th, 2014 to Pax Villa Sacre Cœur from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Obituary : "Sympathies : To his children : François Nicolas and Michele Anya Duvalier ; To Madam Michele Bennett.
