For his part, in the shadows, Me André Michel, the spokesman of the radical opposition called "democratic and popular" is pleased by the 2nd time the strategy of disruption and blockage used in the Senate by the 4 senators Opposition: Evalière Beauplan (PONT); Antonio Cheramy (VERITE), Ricard Pierre (Piti Dessalin) and Nenel Cassy (Famni Lavalas).
