Haiti - Inauguration : Speech by the Senate President 08/02/2017 08:42:15
Excerpts from the speech of the President of the National Assembly : "[...] After many episodes, we are finally at the end of a long, of a very long electoral process. We have a Parliament that operates with its two branches, which will be fully staffed in the coming days. We have an elected president [...] We can say that this day is a great day for our country. The Haitian people have spoken. He chose to entrust the reins of power to a young man, a dynamic man, a man who seems to have ideas to get our country out of the misery and political instability that slow for too long its growth and development. The inauguration of a new President issued from the ballot box, marks the end of the transition and allows us to say that this is the last of our political history. Now we are entering a new era of political stability and institutional normality. Our friends of the Minustah will be able to continue and quietly complete their gradual withdrawal because the Haitians are now ready to fully assume their responsibility through the National Police of Haiti and the Haitian Armed Forces. Mr President-elect, Our compatriots, those who voted for you, those who voted for one or the other of your competitors and even those who, alas too many, have not voted at all : all, they expect a lot from you ! They expect a lot from all their elected representatives, both parliamentarians and local elected representatives [...] As you yourself said, you are now the President of all Haitians, regardless of their political families or ideological ! The task entrusted to you is enormous and difficult. The expectations of all sectors of national life are numerous and legitimate. In terms of security, national defense, justice, education, health, agriculture, food security, infrastructure, depreciation of the national currency, protection of the environment, business climate, gender equity, training of young people, job creation or the fight against poverty, everything is a priority, everything is urgent. We know that our resources are limited and we will have to make choices. I believe I can say, without fear of being denied by my peers, that the Haitian Parliament and all parliamentarians, senators and deputies , are ready to work with you in the interests of our constituents. [...] at the moment when you are going to become the head of the executive, the legislature takes the commitment before the whole nation and before the world to fulfill its role with dignity. Beyond the ideological divisions, beyond the partisan interests, we are determined to cooperate with you for the strengthening of institutions. [...] We believe that, in mutual respect, dialogue and dialogue, we can overcome our divergences in the national interest, reconcile our contradictions and face the many challenges we face, beginning with a merciless struggle against corruption. Yes ! A merciless struggle against corruption, this gangrene that prevents the real development of the country [...]" HL/ HaitiLibre
