Ninth call for dialogue of the President

On Thursday, President Jovenel Moïse, at the Graduation Ceremony of the 30th promotion of the PNH, once again called for dialogue "[...] the PNH alone can only give results if we succeed in conceptualizing and to act together on the problems. And to do this we need to sit around the same table to discuss and negotiate what we want and need to do. [...] I reiterate my call for dialogue to all sectors, both supporters and opponents. The country needs it. As much as it needs today a Government to address emergencies of the hour including the back to school, the fight against insecurity, against precariousness, among others. I note with satisfaction that the Chamber of Deputies has established a Commission to study the files of the appointed Prime Minister and members of his Cabinet. A step in the right direction that I invite the Senate to follow suit. [...]"
