On Sunday, June 8, 2025, the Mirebalais public market, built in 2014 in the heart of the commune at a cost of $6 million under the Martelly/Lamothe government https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14200-haiti-reconstruction-tour-of-minister-rotchild-in-the-centre.html , was set on fire by unidentified individuals. Former MP Abel Descolines reacted emotionally to this tragedy, highlighting the major economic impact of this criminal act on the merchants, their families, and the entire commune of Mirebalais. USA : Towards a 3.5% tax on diaspora remittances A 3.5% Trump tax on money transfers from the United States could deprive Haiti of at least $130 million annually. This measure has already passed the House of Representatives and is now awaiting ratification by the Senate. This tax will apply to remittances sent by non-U.S. citizens, including permanent residents and visa holders. U.S. citizens would be exempt, provided they use authorized operators and prove their status. This tax applies to all countries whose diasporas send remittances to their families back home.

Today, thanks to a brand-new building financed by the National Education Fund (FNE) under the auspices of the Ministry of National Education, this school has the capacity to accommodate more than 500 students.
