Haiti - Politic : National Assembly, the saga continues
It is without surprise, except for those who have been victim of the disinformation war being done relentlessly between the majority and the opposition, for the 4th time, the attempt to hold a session in National Assembly failed.

Beyond the false information of the majority wanting to suggest that there were only some details to be solved and that the opposition had accept the extension of the mandate of Privert, it was not the case, Thursday, no consensus had previously been found neither signed between the 6 political groups as we write this week in opolitical groups as we write this week.

The absence of the G48 majority group of the Lower House "Parliamentary Alliance for Haiti" (APH) responsible for the reversal of quorum among Deputies is pointed by Pro-Privert blocks as "enemies of democracy" see "Kamikaze who prefer to blow themselves with the country".

For the deputies of the APH by boycotting the session in National Assembly, they prevented "a parliamentary coup [...] no question of violating the Constitution" they said. Recalling that this meeting was not to decide the fate of Privert which for them is already resolved by the Agreement of February 5, 2016 "Its mandate was maximum of 120 days" (maximum period allowed by the Constitution).

Recalling those who rejects the agreement with the back of the hand, the Constitution in Article 134.3 could not be clearer, stipulating that a President (even transient) cannot obtain an extension of its mandate and to run for a second before 5 years. Moreover the APH recalls that the legislature is not the sole repository of national sovereignty, calling for the involvement of the judiciary in this roadmap to the future uncertain.

But whatever the arguments of the opposition based or fanciful, the majority does not intend to bow to the minority. What's makes told more than one observer that we are far from being out of the woods... Meanwhile, Privert enters its second month of de facto President without legitimacy, with reduced flexibility since he can not make decisions involving the Haitian State.
