Haiti - Elections : All the deputies boycott the invitation of Privert
Wednesday at the National Palace, the Head of State met with members of parties and political groups (G8 and G30) and representatives of civil society, including human rights organizations around the modifications to bring to the terms of reference for their compliance with the text of the presidential decree establishing the Independent Commission for evaluation and election verification before its official publication.
Note that the 3 political blocs in the lower house, including the two pro-Privert minority parliamentary blocs : the G33 "Parliamentary Group at the listening of the people" (PEP) and the G11 "Independent Parliamentary Group" (GPI) rejected the invitation of the Head of State and were not present https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17291-haiti-news-zapping-politics.html
There was discussion on the "revisions" of Article 2 of terms of reference of the Verification Commission https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17225-haiti-flash-fraudsters-no-longer-have-to-worry-about-the-verification-commission.html , but no official information was given about these changes. However, Pierre Espérance, the Executive Director of the National Network Defense of Human Rights (RNDDH) at that meeting states that "The terms of reference remain intact" and that the revisions involved a few style fixes...
13 days since President a.i Privert these terms of reference in hand, everything should now be consistent for publication in the official newspaper "Le Moniteur" and allow the establishment of the Independent Commission for evaluation and electoral verification.
