Haiti - Petit-Goâve : Mayor Limongy assaults a guardian of EFACAP
Thursday, a deplorable incident occurred before the School of Application and Pedagogical Support Center (EFACAP), while one of the security guards was physically assaulted in front of students by the Mayor of Petit-Goâve, Jean Samson Limongy.
The incident occurred as several late arriving students massed in front of the gate. Mayor Limongy, who was passing through the neighborhood, seeing the students in front of the gate after school time, approached and demanded that the guard let enter these students in late on the school yard. The Guardian Maxo Joseph flatly opposed it, explaining that he had not received any order from the Direction. The tone quickly rose between the Mayor and the guard before coming to blows.*
"I was brutally beaten by Mayor Limongy, who was furious with me after he tried, unsuccessfully, to open the barrier," Maxo Joseph told Radio Préférence FM, facts confirmed by another guardian, Wilner Déjean who was on the scene.
Meeting urgently, the members of the Direction of EFACAP Yvener Desrosiers (Director of ETA), the three educational advisers: Mathieu Guyto, Gerald Cadet, Deméro Maguin and the parents denounced and strongly condemned the mayor for this act and informed the Ministry of National Education of this case.
