Haiti - Elections D-5 : Address to the Nation of the Episcopal Conference of Haiti 20/10/2015 11:17:08 Excerpt from the address to the Nation of CEH : "[...] Dear voters, you undertand after the experience of August 9, 2015, how necessary it is to be more vigilant and patriotic. Do not let yourself lead and in no case and by anyone to scenes of violence, because violence is the worst enemy of democracy, development and our future. You have acquired the right to vote with hard struggle, do not leave you rob in any form or pretext. You can not let your future, that of your families and loved ones in the hands of any political decision makers. We must react against defeatism and decide to get involved in your city, your community, your communal section.

We also urge you to ensure that the judiciary and the National Police of Haiti (PNH) take and fulfill their commitments with the Haitian people. These elections also offer the opportunity to the PNH to concretely apply his motto: Protect and Serve. We strongly recommend you members of the CEP, to be vigilant to correct the abuses recorded during elections on 9 August. We recommend to pay more attention to the just claims of all candidates and voters, to practice further the dialogue with citizens and political parties. It is our desire and our wish that elections can effectively take place and thus open the way for the consolidation of democracy in Haiti for the greatest joy of a people thirsty of material well-being, economic, moral and spiritual [...]" HL/ HaitiLibre
