Things are going badly in the platform VERITE founded by the late President René Préval, second political party in Haiti after the PHTK with 18 deputies, 3 senators, 17 municipal cartels and more than 500 Administrative Councils of Communal Sections (CASEC), Administration of Communal Sections (ASEC) and elected City Delegates.

This week, Pétion-de-ville deputy Jerry Tardieu and Senator Antonio Cheramy of the West, aka "Don Kato", the only two elected representatives of VERITE to have taken a public stand against the financing of the political parties, have decided to resign and leave their political family...

Remember that the VERITE political platform received on January 22nd https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23353-haiti-politic-check-presentation-ceremony-to-political-parties.html a first check of more than 13 million Gourdes (13,487,499 Gdes) sources of division within the Platform and provoked among other reasons, the resignation of the two elected in protest,

Jerry Tardieu explains having supported for years the idea of ​​endowing the Haitian political parties with the means to favor the emergence of 4 or 5 representative political formations of tendencies, to avoid the afflicting spectacle of more than a hundred small parties during the elections, according to him, it seems that this funding from the Government was done without adopting measures to prevent these funds from filling the pockets of a few party leaders... Moreover, he believes that because of the serious divisions and the atmosphere of confrontation that reigns within VERITE, this political formation is no longer able to fulfill its mission to be a progressive and patriotic political platform that listens to the people.

Senator Chéramy, fierce opponent of the PHTK which abounds in the same direction as the Deputy Tardieu, adds that he can no longer be part of VERITE, which has decided to engage in the same logic as the PHTK, he accuses VERITE of being vassalized by the Executive, which seeks through this funding to neutralize the political parties.
