The Transitional Presidential Council will not be installed at the National Palace in Champ de Mars, but at the Prime Minister’s building, a reception villa located in the luxurious district of Bourdon on the morning of Thursday April 25, 2024. This is a concern , a member of the presidential council, the Lavalassian Leslie Voltaire who announced the news.
This measure was apparently taken just after the report given by the visit of a delegation composed of Leslie Voltaire, Himmler Rebu and Raymond Jeanty to assess the area surrounding the palace. The delegation met the Secretary General of the Presidency Josué Pierre Louis and the administrator of the National Palace. Ultimately, the national palace, the home of the presidency, was not chosen to be defiled by presidential advisors under the orders of Caricom and the United States Department of State. Thus, under the pretext of insecurity, they prefer to go to the office of their de facto colleague, the former Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
The diplomatic and consular corps will be present and each advisor will be allowed only 10 guests to avoid a traffic jam of people so as to avoid security measures being overwhelmed with an avalanche of people. Because there will be a good number present not only to attend the ceremony but also to try to pass on a small note of application for employment as minister, director and others.
It’s not surprising since nothing has changed, it’s the same song of corruption that we will continue to hear here and there. And the crisis will continue and get worse and worse since the imperialists cannot resolve anything in the interest of the Haitian popular masses. There will be no improvement in jobs, wages, food security, decent housing, education and health care for the working masses.
Indeed, this measure of not investing the 9 presidential men prepared and well trained by Caricom in the National Palace may seem insignificant, but symbolically it will not work to their disadvantage against other political thieves from the same system, but categorically disagree with the Presidential College project?
Furthermore, the election of the president or coordinator of this Council which should take place on Tuesday April 22 was postponed due to the absence of one of the councilors, in this case the representative of the Montana group Fritz Alphonse Jean. Is it marooning or not? In any case, the appointment is set, that just after the installation, on April 25, 2024, we will proceed to the nomination or election by vote of the one who will have the task of leading this Council.
The main candidates for this position are Gérald Gilles, Fritz Alphonse Jean, Leslie Voltaire and Edgard Leblanc Fils. Today’s speech will be made by Councilor Régine Abraham.
This is another stage that the country will experience, but it will not be the end, as long as the people have not taken charge of their destiny to completely shake up this rotten system. This is the only way out of the crisis for the Haitian working masses.
