Government

Let's once again thank "Mr. Blanc" for his involvement in the internal affairs of Haiti and for making the nomination of a Prime Ministe possible. The session in the Chamber of Deputies for the ratification of the statement of General Policy of Prime Minister Nomnee Enex Jean-Charles was not possible as the majority bloc "Parliamentary Alliance for Haiti" (APH) were not yet satisfied with the deal. However, according to some reliable sources, it was not until some pressures came from members of the International community that they finally got into shape and decided to proceed with the ratification process. As a result, 78 deputies voted for, 1 against and 2 abstentions.

When the Haitian economist and the former governor of Haiti's Central Bank Fritz Jean was nominated as the Prime Minister by the Interim President Jocelerme Privert to lead a caretaker government, the legislators allied with the party of former President Martelly voiced concerns about the fact that Fritz's selection as the new Prime Minister would give absolute control to their oppositions and exclude them from the governmental power. They even criticized his nomination as contempt of Haitian constitution, because Privert's announcement was made without any confidence vote, without the approval of the presidents of the both houses of the Parliament, and without the confirmation of the eligibility of Fritz-Alphonse Jean as the new Prime Minister. Fritz Jean's choice was made with a good support from the main private sector actors, but the signal of rejection was instant from the pro-Martelly bloc including the former Prime Minister Evans Paul.
