Cuba, Venezuela support shunned with Haiti Pres "communists" talk
MIAMI, USA (sentinel.ht) - President Michel Martelly made statements that will surely alienate Haiti's largest and only direct supporters, Cuba, which for decades has led in training and producing ...
Martelly's speech at "Gouvenman An Lakay Ou" in Miami was the kind of discourse that would have garnered geo-political attention during the time of the Cold War, Cuban missile crisis, and McCarthyism. It was the kind of talk that gave a brutal dictator, such as Francois Duvalier, U.S.-backing but in a time where the threat of the spread of communism is low, Martelly's desperate statement appeared ignorant, opportunistic and, in context, anti-democratic, anti-people.
It should be recalled that a week earlier, during another wasteful campaign-like event in Ouanaminthe, Haiti, Martelly told a crowd of a few dozen supporters not to vote "poor" people into office.
In Miami, Michel Martelly, who worked for the first two years of his presidency to stop Constitutional amendments that now allow the Haitian Diaspora to vote, told the Haitians in Miami to vote for his prime minister, Laurent Lamothe, rather as his successor in 2015. A tough request after five years of an administration marked by scandal, corruption, mismanagement and crumbling democratic institutions.
