Haiti - Politics : President Moïse Commemorates the 211 Years of the Death of Dessalines 18/10/2017 07:12:46
After a floral offering at the foot of the Monument of Emperor Dessalines at the Pont Rouge he attended to the Church of Saint Ignatius of Marchand Dessalines, at the Te Deum of commemoration, which took place under the sign of national consciousness and of the unity of all Haitians. In the presence of, among others, the Vice-President of the National Assembly, the Honorable Cholzer Chancy, the President of the Court of Cassation, Me Jules Cantave, members of the Government, parliamentarians and many citizens, the Head of State saluted the memory of this hero of independence who marked the history of Haiti, the Haitians and the slave nations.

President Moses deplored the division in the country, which weakens citizens' impulses and paralyzes economic and social development. He believes that this situation is abnormal and that it is imperative to rehabilitate the institutions in order to drive out corruption, injustice, insecurity and strengthening Haiti's education, economy and development.

We must all, each and every one of us, as far as we are concerned, get out of Haiti's historical constraints and turn the page of periodic turbulence and chronic instability," insisted the Head of State who took the opportunity to recall some key elements of the action plan of his quinquennium...
