Haiti - FLASH : Government back, face the threats of strikes and social disorders
Friday, after the Council of Government on the "Evaluation and Prospects" Prime Minister Evans Paul, during a press briefing declared "The role of government is to work for his people, and one of responsible behavior that a government must have is the ability to listen and to have the courage to decide [...]

There are decisions that the Gov't had taken, justified decisions, but the Government has heard the reactions of significant sectors of society, the trade unionists.

The government announced that it analyze the current socio-political context, it understands the difficult situation of the population, we can not sit back and let the Haitian people be the victim of one or two-day strike.

The people can not suffer of the strike https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-15599-haiti-elections-preliminary-conclusions-of-the-european-observation-mission.html

The country can not experience, a strike.

[...]

We must defend the interests of the people because we work for him.

In the defense of their interests we have our ears to hear and the courage to decide.

There were measures that were taken in the Council of Ministers measures to balance the country's budget [...] we have decided to withdraw certain measures in the interests of the people. All messures that related to price increases of driving license, we announce that we remove this measure, the old price will remain the same.

We took the same measure for passports, no gourde will be added to the price of the passport, the price does not change.

We say the same for the tax matricule it will remain the same price it was.

There has been much discussion and debate on the issue of privileges to members of the government present and former, we say that these privileges will not increase they will remain as they were before https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-15618-haiti-politic-generous-severance-pay-for-the-government.html

That's what it is a government that listens, a government that has the courage to make decisions, but which also has the courage to also to back on the decisions that are unpopular because what's important is not our pride [...] what is good for the country today is to do everything possible to create an atmosphere of coexistence, an atmosphere of understanding, a friendly atmosphere, as we have always said we are all Haiti, we all work for Haiti.

From these measures I think we meet the will of our fellow unionists, for Monday and Tuesday, there will be no strike [in transport].

[...]"
