"[...] RNDDH considers that the incident of 21 June 2016 took place with the express complicity of the National Police of Haiti (PNH) nevertheless responsible for ensuring the security of each and every one. Indeed, the demonstration having been announced with thinly veiled threats, it was up to the police force to assess the level of risk and effectively ensure the safety of the Legislative Palace [...] RNDDH believes that if political parties are fingered in what happened June 21, 2016, the Superior Council of the National Police (CSPN) and Parliamentarians also have their share of responsibility [...]" Reactions of PHTK In a note the Platform "Tèt Kale Party Haitien" (PHTK) "strongly condemns the acts of violence against the Parliament and parliamentarians who were preparing to meet in National Assembly to decide on the continuation of the democratic process, following the expiry on 14 June of the term of former interim president Jocelerme Privert in accordance with the Agreement of February 5.

On another occasion, the enemies of democracy have struck. They showed clearly they do not want stability, they are against social peace, they do not want an agreement or a consensus is reached to resolve the country's problems. Making violence, threaten the lives of deputies and senators, preach division and hatred is unconscious behavior, irresponsible who do not want the establishment of a democratic regime in Haiti. [...] It is time for the artisans and destabilization professionals to understand that this time is over [...] Violence, intimidation can not be the answer to the problem in a democracy [...] I says, today, in these times that we must show love for our country, our commitment to democratic values, the respect for the principles and practice of democracy."
