Haiti - Politic : Jovenel Moïse will not abuse decrees, says Chancellor Edmond
Monday, the 50th legislature will end without the 51st legislature taking over as stipulated in the Constitution, failing to have been able to hold elections. The departure of all deputies from the lower house and 1/3 of the senators rendering the parliament dysfunctional.

Apprehending this situation for several weeks, the community is worried about the coming months, while Haiti will find itself without a legitimate Government, without budget and without Parliament, the Head of State will be alone in command and will govern by decree without any counter power to limit his actions...

Conscious of these concerns, Chancellor Bocchit Edmond throughout the week tried to reassure international partners, while he was on tour in Mexico, Washington and New York explaining to his interlocutors "As there will be no Parliament and that the State must continue to function, there will be necessary decisions like the budget, the electoral law among others, decrees are needed to adopt them..."

Thursday, Invited to the UN Security Council Chancellor Edmond reassured the members of the Council of the will of President Jovenel Moïse "[...] to ensure the continuity of the State without abusing decrees and to put democratic institutions back into operation..."

Friday at the State Department, Edmond met with Michael Kozack, the Assistant Secretary of State for Hemispheric Affairs to whom he gave the assurance that President Moïse "[...] will take all measures as quickly as possible to make democratic institutions work..."

Beyond these declarations which are intended to be diplomatically reassuring, only after January 13 will tell us what it will really be.
