Haiti - FLASH : Addresses to the Nation of PM and of President of the Senate (Videos) 08/02/2022 04:38:57
Excerpts from Ariel Henry's address to the Nation : "[...] Our resources are limited, but we are looking for more resources to help those in need. We know there is a lot of misery [...] The country's economy is lagging [...] Our economy is too small to allow 12 million people to live well, to get jobs, to get good service from the State. I will say that anyone who is tempted to use gangs, terrorists and gunslingers to gain power will be treated as terrorists and gunslingers [...] That's why I ask those people who have guns between hands [...] to put them down [...]" This February 7, when large demonstrations were expected, it was on the contrary a great calm in the metropolitan area and in the capital where the streets were almost deserted, most of the citizens having preferred to stay at home. Banks, schools, formal businesses were closed as a precaution, public transport was scarce, Reacting to this apparent calm, Ariel Henry said : "Allow me to send a big hat to the Haitian people who are in a difficult situation, and this demonstrates their political maturity. There were people waiting for people to take to the streets, make a mess, burn tires, smash cars, destroy small vendors. But today, the people understand the political game." Regarding the Montana agreement, the Prime Minister recognizes the positive side of Haitians in wanting to regroup in search of a solution to the crisis, stressing that this is why he has met several times with actors from Montana and that even today he extends his hand to them "I will never tire of meeting them” however he emphasizes "[...] No one has the authority or the right to meet in a hotel or abroad to decide in small committees who will be President or Prime Minister. All this is a distraction […] The situation of the country is too serious to play musical chairs at the head of the State." Continuing "[...] I would also like to announce that after a great meeting on security in Canada, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35773-haiti-politic-canada-announces-$504-million-in-aid-for-haiti.html next February 16, we will hold a large round table, where all the "Donors" will examine how they can help us [...]" Regarding the elections Ariel Henry said “[…] We are moving forward with those who want to solve the problem of insecurity, set up a credible CEP, organize a popular consultation to validate the new Constitution. We organize good elections so that we can quickly hand over the leadership of the country to the Haitian people who have the right to choose freely at all levels. We will make public the timetable that will lead us to the establishment of our democratic institutions. I invite all Haitians of good will to unite to make this project a success." Address to the Nation of Prime Minister a.i. Ariel Henry : Also that same day, Senator Joseph Lambert, President of the Upper House also addressed the Nation. According to Senator Lambert “[…] on the fringes of all legality, the reality of power is seized by the Prime Minister who has not managed to exercise it. It's been seven months since Dr. Ariel Henry, is unable to say what his mandate consists of [...] the State is unable to act on insecurity and therefore, unable to prepare and organize good elections […] Faced with the accelerated deterioration of political life in Haiti, the de facto Government no longer has much to say about the problems affecting the country and tending to worsen. […] Consultation and consensus are essential for the actors who, in a burst of lucidity, must understand that any sectarian initiative is doomed to failure which will lead to the collapse of the country. The compromise, this time, must prevail over the repeated pettiness which has already given the results that the Haitian people are undergoing" announcing the organization at the end of this week of a large meeting that he qualify as a "consensus congress" bringing together, among other things, the representatives of the judiciary, the instigators of the various agreements with a view to a consensual solution to the crisis, wishing the participation of Prime Minister Henry who will be officially invited. Address to the Nation of the President of the Senate Joseph Lambert : SL/ HaitiLibre
