In addition to being considered a rogue state where agreements, even published in the official journal of the Republic, are neither respected nor applied, Haiti, under the administration of Ariel Henry and other political figures such as Mirlande Manigat, Emmelie Prophète, Frantz Elbé, André Michel, and others, are now classified in the category of “authoritarian regimes”. In this tense context, it is not surprising to see the police use tear gas against citizens demanding in-depth reforms in the country.
Thursday, February 15, 2024 ((rezonodwes.com))–For more than 30 months, the illegitimate de facto Prime Minister, Dr. Ariel Henry, has remained in power, but his “beloved” administration continues to receive negative evaluations in numerous international rankings, to the great dismay of the Haitian people. According to The Economist report, the country is ranked 129th, with a score of only 2.81 out of 10.
The Economist’s annual ranking of the democratic health of nations reveals a worrying trend in the Latin American region. Despite this context, Latin America and the Caribbean, with the exception of Haiti, remains the third most democratic region in the world, after North America (the United States and Canada) and Western Europe. .
Uruguay, ranked 14th out of 167, and Costa Rica (17th) are considered “full democracies”. On the other hand, countries like Chile (25th), Panama (48th), Brazil (51st), Argentina (54th), Colombia (55th), Dominican Republic (61st), Paraguay (74th) are fall into the category of “deficient democracies”, thus highlighting the persistent challenges in governance and respect for democratic rights in the region.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the table in the Caribbean, Ariel Henry’s understudy regime, without elected representatives, is relegated to the rank of authoritarian and has nothing to envy of Cuba, where the health system has been modernized .
