Sunday, around 1 pm, a group of young people, a member of the Mixed Front of Liberation of Petit-Goâve, erased the name of Dany Laferrière from the newly rebuilt library...

Our Dany, a native of Petit-Goâve who grew up in Rue Lamarre, our only academician and our national pride, does not deserve such a fate. What a desappointment ! What a shame !

"These young people from Petit-Goâve, who by eagerness and malice have erased the name of Dany Laferrière from the library have made a big mistake."

Moreover, the German NGO Welthungerhilfe (Agro Action Germany - AAA), which financed this library, recalls that it had not yet handed over the keys to the Haitian State... "As long as this formality is not fulfilled, the authorities have no rights over the library."

By pretending to defend the Constitution, these young "intellectuals" blinded by a supposed nationalistic passion have made an illegal act. It was necessary to wait until the work was officially handed over to the local authorities. Once again, the FML, in spite of the correctness of its claims are very badly started...

"The violation of the Constitution should not serve as a pretext for anyone to openly fight an intellectual who has done honor to Haiti on an international scale."
