Haiti - Politic : Manigat-Fernández a meeting improvised... 15/02/2011 10:13:14
After that meeting, the candidate Manigat has acknowledged that the conditions for presidential elections in Haiti scheduled for March 20 are "not quite normal" but that the problems will be resolved and she expressed her confidence that the situation will be finally "fairly classical for elections"... Manigat indicated that if she's elected, she will reactivate the Joint Commission Dominico-Haitian. She talks about reactivation, but of what ? Mrs. Manigat does she know that the work of the Joint Bilateral Commission was reactivated by President René Préval in August 2010 ? The 4th meeting of this Committee was held in December 2010 and at our knowledge, its work has not been arrested... The calendar was only delayed because of elections. In addition, Manigat said she had discussed with President Fernández the issue of trade between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and that given the economic situation in Haiti this would be "a good idea to have a meeting of Latin American leaders, to see how, in the current environment they can help Haiti". The candidate has probably forgotten the meetings of CARICOM (Caribbean Community) and the preferential trade agreement signed last December, providing access to Haiti in the regional market under preferential regimes for a period of three years... The issue of migration was not discussed at the meeting, but Manigat has assured, if she is elected President of Haiti, she will improve the relations with the authorities of the Dominican Republic. We can only regret that this issue particularly relevant, was not been discussed, while nearly 6,000 of our compatriots have been repatriated to Haiti since the beginning of the year... Answering to a question about the presence of Jean Claude Duvalier in Haiti, Mirlande Manigat said "Duvalier is a Haitian, he can live in our country, but must do so within the framework of the law". One thing is certain, the meeting visibly lacked of preparation and the Candidate Manigat did not have a good mastery of her records. A recurrent weakness, already identified in the first round.
