Haiti - Politics : President Moïse welcomes the success of the 2017 National Carnival
Wednesday, President Jovenel Moïse welcomed the efforts made by the organizers for the success of the National Carnival. He particularly congratulated the people of Les Cayes for his hospitality during the three fat days that took place in a festive atmosphere. 23 queens and 18 kings marched on allegorical floats. Several dozen disguised groups and walking bands, and some twenty musical floats have animated the city of Les Cayes during National Carnival 2017.

The delay of the first day prevented groups from completing the course. The second fat day touched perfectly, the disguised bands were able to come out earlier and offer a much better performance. All tanks completed the course.

The Head of State underlines "The prevention system has worked well [...] the Red Cross and health care teams have done a good job. In terms of security, the National Police of Haiti (PNH) has done an outstanding job. A mobilization strongly felt at all levels, on the route and in the other streets of the city, facilitating the movement of carnavaliers in the city. This made it possible to record no death on the course during the three fat days" "[note HL --- 81 victims including 24 wounded with white arms and 62 arrests...]

Adding "State spending has been mobilized during these festivities in sustainable development projects, which can mitigate the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew."

Note that the Nippes and Grand'Anse departments participated in the Carnival parade as a sign of solidarity as Jovenel Moïse wished.
