Haiti - Politic : Faced with difficulties in mobilizing, the opposition changes its positions
Faced with difficulties in mobilizing and popular pressure, the leaders of the radical opposition, Senator Youri Latortue and Me André Michel, announced changes in position.

After 11 weeks of school disruption caused by the socio-political crisis and insecurity, which made lose 41 class days out of the 189 scheduled in the initial school calendar to millions of students https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28379-haiti-flash-school-calendar-2019-2020-all-dates.html , these leaders advocate the back to classroom (relaunched since December 2 by the Ministry https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-29483-haiti-flash-school-calendar-revised-official.html ).

On his Twitter account, Senator Youri Latortue, a native of Gonaïves, writes "Gonaiviennes, Gonaiviens, I am proud of your courage. On January 7 our children will go to school, however the mobilization continues every weekend. Happy fighting year. Your determination is an example" without a word on the responsibility of the opposition in depriving classes of millions of students...

It seems that this change of position has its origin in popular pressure in general and parents in particular, tired of these long months of mobilization, demanding that we stop taking their children in hostage and that we ensure a recovery of school activities as planned by the Ministry https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-29483-haiti-flash-school-calendar-revised-official.html safely on January 7.

André Michel, Spokesman of the radical opposition also ignoring the responsibility of the opposition in the closure of schools https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28713-haiti-education-the-minister-cadet-denounces-the-taking-in-hostage-of-the-education-system.html rejects the fault on the President Moïse, affirming on WhatsApp "It is necessary that the children of the people return to school on January 7 next on all the national territory. We don't want them to miss the school year. The State must take measures to guarantee security, pay the teachers, and other measures for the re-opening of classes [...] We are not going to allow Jovenel Moïse to make sure that schoolchildren miss the school year," adding that from now on demonstrations to force the departure of the Head of State will be organized on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and also at night.
