Haiti - Politic : Strong reactions of the opposition to the installation of the new Government
Monday, the installation of members of the new Consensus government Martelly-Paul has led to numerous contestations reactions in the opposition and some actors of civil society. The opposition accuses the executive to have keep control and leave few positions to the opposition parties who have agreed to participate in the agreement of 11 January.

The Patriotic Movement of Democratic Opposition (MOPOD) said give little importance to the establishment of the government says of consensus through a statement by Turneb Delpé and Serge Jean Louis, the MOPOD states "[...] It is necessary that the President Martelly to leave, he can not have free elections when the CASECs is Martelly, the commune is Martelly, judges in courts is Martelly, the head of the police it is Martelly, the money of the state it is Martelly, the power that was in the hands of the parliament is Martelly it can not have good elections if all these things are Martelly [...] It is necessary that people continue to take the streets, so that the President Martelly leaves power quickly," recalling that demonstrations will be held this Tuesday 20, Thursday 22 and Friday, January 23 to demand the resignation of the Head of State.

Mirlande Manigat, Secretary General of the "National Rally of Progressive Democrats" (RDNP), a founding member of the "Patriotic Movement for Democratic Opposition" (MOPOD), denounces "the overstaffed cabinet that will be expensive [...]" wondering on the ability of the state to assume the costs of the new Government. Forgetting that the number of ministers was reduced by 16% and the Secretaries of State by 15% https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12984-haiti-politic-34-fewer-women-in-the-government-of-evans-paul.html In addition, she said note that "most of the ministers of Government Lamothe were renewed in that of Evans Paul." A false assertion since only 8 ministers of the previous government have been renewed (and not most), while 12 new ones were installed.

Fanmi Lavalas, in a public statement said Monday "After years of struggle, the people of Haiti is found once again under a de facto regime that concretizes the project to establish a dictatorship. The Constitution and democratic principles in all civilized countries, establish for all citizens, the duty to resist and fight oppression that vehicle dictatorship." https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12986-haiti-politic-for-lavalas-the-de-facto-regime-concretizes-the-project-to-establish-a-dictatorship.html

Former Deputy Patrick Joseph, was very critical with respect to his party INITE, who agreed to work with the Executive and to endorse a government accused of mismanagement and corruption, by accepting the attribution of Interior Ministry to Ariel Henry.

The Platform of Haitian teachers union grouping, among others, the Unnoeh, the Giel and the CONEH, denounced the renewal of Nesmy Manigat to the Ministry of Education. A decision according to them, which is likely to aggravate the situation in the education sector. Josué Mérilien, the Coordinator of the Union of Haitian Normaliens, said to be outraged by the renewal of several ministers of the outgoing government, accused of mismanagement. He also criticized the appointment of the former Minister Pierre Richard Casimir, as Minister of Justice. Mérilien recalls that Pierre Richard Casimir, was accused in many cases and and he should have been cleared by the court before taking this new function. He said to see in this appointment, a very bad signal for the future of a government that wants to be the result of consensus.

Senator Riché Andrice, one of 10 senators remaining accuses the government of having kept "the backbone of the government Lamothe" in defiance of popular demands. He also criticized the appointment of former Minister Pierre-Richard Casimir, while he had not yet received his discharge from his previous management. Furthermore, he accuses the Head of State to have broken its promise to consult the remaining 10 senators, by proceeding Friday at the Prime Minister installation without consulting them.

Finally, Assad Volcy, the Coordinator of the radical organization "Opposition Tèt Ansanm" (OTAN) egrets that Fusion, INITE and "Ayisyen pou Ayiti" who have obtained positions, will be compromised with this government announcing the pursuit of the mobilization against President Martelly.
