Haiti - Politic : 4 Senators make fail the National Assembly
Monday, the session in National Assembly, to close the second regular session of the legislative year and ratify two international instruments "the Paris Agreement on Climate Change" (COP21) and the "United Nations Convention on the Reduction of Cases statelessness" opened with a quorum of 18 senators and 73 deputies and promised apparently without problems...

Except... the intervention of Deputy Caleb Desrameaux, proposing to add to the agenda, the status of Jocelerme Privert has negated the relative balance of the Assembly, causing a rain of motions each opposing on this highly sensitive issue...

Despite this turmoil, Ronald Larèche, the President of the Senate, has managed to adopt the agenda without the addition of Deputy Desrameaux, followed by an adjournment to try to resolve differences...

A few minutes later it is the acknowledgment of failure, back in session 4 senators left the session without a word : Carl Murat Cantave, Edwin Zenny, Onondieu Louis and et Hervé Foucand, reversing the quorum and causing the end of the National Assembly and the anger of Ronald Larèche for which, nothing political in the agenda justified the withdrawal of 4 Senators "The quorum being reversed, we have no others choice that to adjourn the session," stressing that what happened is a very bad precedent for Parliament.

A view not shared by the opposition senators. According to sources close to these senators, they simply refused to endorse de facto president, by ratifying international instruments deposited by Jocelrme Privert, a citizen who is no longer constitutional President of Haiti since June 14.

The Deputy Gary Bodeau told reporters, understand the position of Senators that reversed the quorum. "The majority bloc in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate minority bloc were always consistent in their position. For us, there is no longer President at the National Palace since 14 June 2016."

The deputies are on vacation and if there is no convocation to the extraordinary by the Executive the deputies have rendezvous for January 2017 for the opening of the second year of the 50th Legislature.
