Véronique Roy had announced on Sunday the held of a press conference Monday. But in the morning, Henry Robert Sterlin, the former Haitian Ambassador in Paris, said that the press conference was canceled because the Karibe Hotel in Petion ville, where Mr. Duvalier resides does not have enough space, to receive all journalists. For now, no time, date or place has been communicated for this press conference.

Didier Le Bret, Ambassador of France in Haiti, said Sunday that Jean Claude Duvalier was in possession of a return ticket for France for January 20, adding "I hope he will use it" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-2140-haiti-duvalier-baby-doc-back-in-france-on-january-20.html Duvalier's wife said that "nothing is fixed, everything is modifiable", while confirming that her husband was in possession of a return ticket for Thursday. "It is premature to say whether he will return to France or if he will stay", she added.

Evans Paul, a former opponent of the Duvalier became mayor of Port-au-Prince, had accused President Préval to be involved in this return, "I think Mr. Preval is at the base of this decision. It is a diversionary tactic and provocation designed to intensifying the confusion "in reference to the post-election political crisis.

Ms. Roy has strongly denied the accusations of the former mayor of the Haitian capital. "There was absolutely no contact" stating that since the arrival in Haiti of Jean Claude Duvalier "no responsible of the Government of Haiti contacted him".
