Haiti - Politic : «The Accord is a fool's bargain» dixit Edmonde Beauzile (FUSION) 04/01/2015 08:33:46
"Article 1 : The Head of State appoints the Prime Minister after consultation with the President of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies. A consensus government will be formed with the participation of political opposition sectors, of Haitian personalities known for their patriotism, civic sense, their honesty and integrity, able to inspire confidence in all political actors in general and to those involved in the electoral process in particular;" Fusion : "What about, the Prime Minister appointed by presidential decree 25 December 2014 ? This appointment is immediately void. We now await the publication of the agreement to proceed with a new appointment. How the three powers will they form the consensus government with the participation of opposition political sectors while they are held outside the steps of development of the agreement ? The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." "2. The Head of State, pursuant to Articles 101 and 105 of the Constitution, convenes the Legislative Body to extraordinary for: 2.1. Vote on the amendments to the electoral law before 12 January 2015; 2.2. Ratify the general policy statement of the consensus Government resulting from the negotiations before 12 January 2015; 2.3. Vote all amending budget; 2.4. Ratifying the treaties and international agreements and vote all the bills mentioned in the convening menu, including the bill creating and organizing the National Education Fund; 2.5. Analyze and verify the reports of the Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSC / CA) of all Great Commis of the State requesting discharge of their management in Parliament; 2.6. Speak and declare the necessity of concur to a constitutional amendment." Fusion : "The parliamentarians will have, before the deadline of 12 January 2015, providing a titanic work! Form a consensus government yes. But the executive has found the consensusalone. The government that will follow will bear the seal of the Executive. The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." "Article 3: The Head of State reconstitutes the Provisional Electoral Council on the basis of the spirit of Article 289 of the Constitution in order to organize the upcoming parliamentary and local elections." Fusion : "This article mandates the Head of State to reconstitute the Provisional Electoral Council on the basis of the spirit of Article 289 of the Constitution in order to organize the upcoming parliamentary and local elections. This article gives full authority to the President to form the CEP as this approach must be consensus to avoid any dispute. Section 289 gives the possibility to introduce 3 representatives of the state. This is to be avoided at all costs. No competitor should have representative in the Electoral Council. The Head of State has already trained four Councils taking into account its immediate interests. Each time, he was unmasked. The agreement just provide that the Head of State alone reconstructs the Provisional Electoral Council. He gives him the latitude to act much better than the previous times. The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." "Article 4 : The periods for the various formalities will be exceptionally reduced in the transitional provisions of the Electoral Act to enable the achievement of the general elections of 2015 at the earliest; the Provisional Electoral Council has to commit to organize these elections in a period not exceeding one hundred and twenty days (120) from the date of installation planned for January 2015." Fusion : "This article requires the Provisional Electoral Council to hold elections within a period not exceeding 120 ie within a period of four months. How to form a fifth Council without a political agreement ? The electoral machine set in motion does not reassure. At the level of local governments, the Presidents of the Departmental Electoral Offices, communal, were denounced, particularly in Hinche, Cercacavajal, Jacmel and elsewhere. Only good provisions can guarantee the holding of general elections, free, transparent and democratic at the end of 2015. The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." "Article 5 : On the second Monday of January two thousand and fifteen (2015), parliamentarians whose terms expire may continue to hold office until complete four (4) years for deputies, or twenty-four (24) April two thousand and fifteen (2015) and six (6) full years for senators or up to nine (9) September 2015, subject to this clause to be enshrined in the electoral law before 12 January 2015. If the election for their replacements take place before the dates thereof, their mandate expires at the inauguration of the newly elected." Fusion : "Article 5 extends the mandate of parliamentarians under what principles ? Any term ends with the start of Deputies and a third of the Senate. It is necessary in this order of ideas to consider a fiftieth legislature of exception for the remaining third until September. The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." "Article 6 : Once the amendments voted and passed, the Head of State will ensure their publication in accordance with the Constitution, at the latest January 12, 2015." Fusion : "Without comment" "Article 7 : The failure to comply with any provision contained in this Agreement leads its invalidity with all legal consequences. The President of the Republic, Head of State, will ensure the stability of institutions, will ensure the functioning of public authorities and the continuity of the state, according to the Constitution." Fusion : "In a record time, the Prime Minister appointed under the agreement of December 29, 2014, does he ave time to present its general policy before 12 January 2015 ? The Legislative Body will it have time to vote the amendments to the electoral law ratifying the general policy statement, vote all the Bills in the meeting agenda before 12 January 2015. Article 7 is clear and unequivocal. The failure to comply with any provision contained in this Agreement leads its invalidity. The article is in itself the seeds of confusion and only accentuates the crisis." Furthermore, Edmonde Supplice Beauzile also wondered about the signatories of this agreement saying that "The signatures also give rise to serious confusion and only deepen the crisis. The Senator Desras and Deputy Thimoléon, do they are agents of the legislative branch ? From whom they hold their mandate ? Assembly or themselves? The Judge Anel Alexis Joseph is asked to resign because, on many occasions, he proved to be the man of President Martelly [...] what is the value of his signature ?" Edmonde Supplice Beauzile concluded by stating that "The Agreement is a fool's bargain. It does not bode well. Fusion believes there is still time to reach a political agreement to avoid the worst. State officials must understand that that there is danger in the house." HL/ HaitiLibre
