The demonstrators then headed toward the town hall of Jacmel, whose they tried to close the doors, saying that city employees have done nothing serious for the good of the city. The rapid response of security forces has not allowed the protesters to complete their project.

Throughout the course, the protesters chanted and demanded the arrest of former Directors of The National Old Age Insurance (ONA) Herno Jeudy and his deputy Hector Noël for the thirteen million gourdes diverted within the institution. The crowd denounced the continued silence of the judicial authorities of Jacmel in this case, while some individuals cited in this file, are still circulating freely in the city...

This movement was also an opportunity to protest against the statements made in the local press by Senator Edwin Zenny (Edo) announcing the replacement of the municipal cartel Ronald Andris and Viergela Francois by that of the former mayor of Jacmel Hugues Paul, Jean Pierre Jouvenol and Jean Solages. An announcement that is in the continuation of statements of President Martelly, who announced the dismissal of two mayors of the city, during his visit during the Carnival of Jacmel.
