Haiti - Politic : President Martelly responded to the President of the Senate 30/04/2014 07:57:29
Response letter of President Martelly : "Port au Prince, April 28, 2014 MJM/983 Mr. Simon Dieuseul Desras President of the Senate of the Republic In its offices. Mr. President of the Senate I acknowledge receipt of your letter dated April 27, 2014 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11036-haiti-politic-the-minister-heriveaux-condemns-the-correspondence-of-senator-desras.html by which you expressed the will of the Senate of the Republic to not constitute a blocking to the State governance and especially the holding of parliamentary and local elections in 2014 [HL - The President Martelly referred to oint 1 of the letter from the President of the Senate that says : The Senate of the Republic has no option or inclination to create a space for blocking the State governance,even fewer the holding of elections in the country. In this regard, it opposes a categorical denied to certain statements here and elsewhere holding him responsible for delaying the inevitable deadline of 2014. It wishes to point out that the Haitian Nation sighs after the elections since 2011 for local councils and collectivities and since 2012 for the third of the Senate. Because it is not to him who bears the burden to hold them, it can not be upon him that the sentence should fall to have ignored or missed them In this account, the Senate reaffirms its wish that the elections are held during the year 2014; the deadline is imperative and unavoidable. ] I take note and take this opportunity to remind to your attention the determination of the Executive to comply to the letter the prescribed of the agreement of El Rancho of March 14, 2014 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10763-haiti-politic-the-core-group-welcomes-the-inter-haitian-agreement.html which traces the ways and means to arrive at the elections free, fair, inclusive and transparent. [an implicit reminder to the Article 12 of this Agreement] It is not superfluous to recall, however, all the steps that led to the signing of the agreement El Rancho : From July 2012, the Judiciary and the Executive Branch designated their representatives to the Permanent Electoral Council. As for the Legislative Power, despite numerous meetings with the Executive, it was unable to appoint its representatives to the council. On 15 August 2012, the Executive Branch had to install the Permanent Electoral Council with six members, until Parliament comes complete. From that date to December 2012, all the steps taken have never allowed to reach the complete formation of the Council. Finally, in a spirit of compromise, the Executive, within the negotiations under the auspices of "Religions for Peace", accepted the proposed formula by parliamentarians to establish a Transitional College of the Permanent Electoral Council embodied in the agreement of 24 December 2012. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-7489-haiti-cep-an-agreement-was-finally-signed-between-the-executive-and-parliament.html The political situation stayed and remained tense, electionscould not take place in 2013. I then, in order, again, to advance the process, initiated a new series of meetings with political parties, organizations and members of civil society to eventually leading at the El Rancho agreement initialed and signed by the majority of political parties in the country, the Parliament in its two components, organizations and members of civil society, the CSPJ and the Executive, under the auspices this time, of the Haitian Episcopal Conference, whom I thank again for his endless dedication and tact with which she carried out this inter-Haitian political dialogue, a first in the annals of our history. I think, for me, in all sincerity, having honored my commitments. I would like to acknowledge the speed with which the Chamber of Deputies voted the amendments to the electoral law. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10847-haiti-politic-the-chamber-of-deputies-voted-the-electoral-law.html We are fully into the implementation of Rancho El agreement when I received your letter asking me to return to the Provisional Electoral Council on the basis of an article obsolete of the 1987 Constitution. I also remind you that the El Rancho agreement builds on the spirit of Article 192 of the 1987 Constitution as amended in regard to the formation of the Electoral Council [ Article 192 The Electoral Board comprises nine (9) members chosen from a list of three (3) names submitted by each of the Departmental Assemblies: 3 are chosen by the Executive Branch; 3 are chosen by the Court of Cassation; 3 are chosen by the National Assembly. The above-mentioned organs ensure, as far as possible that each department is represented. ] The problems that seem to concern you such as the Provisional Electoral Council, the electoral law, the climate of trust around the elections have already been taken into account during discussions of the El Rancho agreement whose the Senate was involved. Travelling for the Summit of Heads of State of the ACS in Mexico, I appeal to your patriotism, your sense of responsibility to lead your peers to break the deadlock by voting the amendments to the electoral law to ensure the holding of elections in October 2014 as planned. I remain convinced that you will use your expertise to make understand to all those affected by this agreement, that the time has come to implement it, each part that your are concerned. I take this opportunity to renew to you, Mr. President of the Senate, the expression of my patriotic greetings. Michel Joseph Martelly" See also : https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11037-haiti-politic-the-club-of-madrid-support-the-elections-under-the-agreement-of-el-rancho.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11032-haiti-politic-the-saga-of-the-agreement-el-rancho-continues.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11014-haiti-elections-oas-deplores-the-lack-of-concrete-agreements-setting-an-electoral-calendar.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11010-haiti-politic-us-direct-aid-conditional-on-elections.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11009-haiti-politic-it-is-time-for-the-haitian-senate-to-act-and-pass-the-electoral-law-dixit-ileana-ros-lehtinen.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11002-haiti-elections-the-electoral-process-in-haiti-to-the-agenda-of-the-oas.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-11007-haiti-politic-an-opposition-very-inventive.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10989-haiti-politic-senator-desras-asserts-that-parliament-is-not-linked-to-el-rancho-agreement.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10950-haiti-politic-article-12-of-the-el-rancho-agreement-as-a-solution-for-unlocking-the-senate.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-10832-haiti-politic-the-el-rancho-agreement-a-crisis-within-the-crisis.html HL/ S/ HaitiLibre
