"The time of the truce is over"

ALTERNATIVE said no

Immediately after the earthquake of January 12, 2010 which killed over 200 000 people, destroying more than 250 000 houses, public buildings and private and other damage which estimates totaled nearly 10 billion dollars, ALTERNATIVE found it necessary to make a political truce in order not to hamper the efforts of those in power in the organization of relief to the victims, but especially to create an atmosphere of cooperation, supported the unity of all political, economic, social and cultural need to overhaul the state and the country's reconstruction.

Faced with the calamity situation in which the earthquake of January 12 left the country, ALTERNATIVE believed and still believes that the interests of the Haitian people must be placed first.

ALTERNATIVE hoped that the current leaders of the state would realize and pursue a policy to serve, to straighten out the country's situation and needs of victims.

They unfortunately, the choice of getting bogged down in administrative practices harmful, cronyism and dirty tricks that the indignant people.

More than two months after the disaster, as the population in all its components, ALTERNATIVE notes that the primary responsibility of state power do not watch, nor will nor capacity to define and carry out actions that correspond the seriousness of the situation post-earthquake.

Before the arrival of international aid, the people who had been conscientious alone, to leave some dead and alive from the rubble.

Today, the population is still without supervision authorities, which organizes its survival in difficult conditions even subhuman, huddled in makeshift camps, under the hot sun and rain in torrents.

It's still the same population, in towns not affected by the earthquake, which welcomes their friends and families displaced, this, without any real support from the state, despite their socio-economic situation extremely precarious.

Given the government's inability to organize the distribution of international aid, is still and always the same people, who in his commitment and spirit of solidarity, organized for supplies with confidence.

In the context of the earthquake, the compatriots living abroad have shown more and more to help their families.

ALTERNATIVE wishes to congratulate them. She enjoys the opportunity to extend its thanks to Haitians and foreigners in Haiti and around the world for their solidarity with the victims of the disaster.

ALTERNATIVE also thanked the international community, particularly the Dominican Republic, the United States of America, Cuba, Canada, France, EU, Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, Taiwan, Japan and China.

ALTERNATIVE takes this opportunity to express its solidarity to the people of Chile who has been struck in less than two weeks by two major earthquakes of magnitudes.

ALTERNATIVE informed the Chilean nation that the Haitian people sharing his suffering.

The irresponsible behavior of the country's leaders, two months after the earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince, Petion Ville, Delmas, Carrefour, Croix des Bouquets, Gressier, Leogane, Jacmel, Grand Goave, Petit Goâve and to a lesser extent Miragoane unworthy strongly ALTERNATIVE.

Also decides she to end the political truce and asked the President Préval and his henchmen to stop abusing the patience of the population.

The truce is over, because despite all the aid received by the country, 163 million from the Petro-Caribe fund was spent under the same conditions as the $ 197 million disbursed after the hurricanes of 2008, while the majority of victims do not even tents, food and clothing.

The truce is over because power by closing your eyes and let the criminals escape from prison the day of the quake, continued to leave the field open to the bandits who pillaged and burned with impunity, shops of downtown Port - au-Prince, spared by the disaster.

The truce is over, because the alternative does not understand why some foreign NGOs have had the ability to do what they want as they want with aid to victims.

The truce is over, because state officials have no right to decide alone with their friends to initiate discussions with the international community to rebuild the country without any form of consultation with organized sectors of society.

The truce is over, because the dire situation in the country after January 12, it is inconceivable that the elections are the focus of power, although nothing has been done to assist school principals, presidents of 'universities, professors, students and pupils of different cities destroyed, abandoned to their fate.

After the presentation January 26, 2010 of its 16 recommendations relating to the management of humanitarian aid, reconstruction and governance post-disaster, the alternative to his press conference on Tuesday, February 23, 2010, stated that elections are not possible right now in Haiti.

It is logically:

-prioritize emergency, allowing victims to have access to shelters in safe areas remediated,

-establish a special fund to recapitalize small and medium-sized businesses affected by the earthquake,

-create jobs and provide for the affected population can rehabilitate himself by covering his dignity.

Disappointment CAUSED revolting attitude of leaders of the state, mired in corruption, ALTERNATIVE is to ask people to prepare to respond to the slogans of mobilization to get the country out of the rubble Policy harmful René Préval.

Today, the Haitian population lives under the threat of two (2) disasters.

One is the result of 12 January with the constant concern of new shocks.

The other is the perversion of politics, under the auspices of President Preval.

The international press and the U.S. State Department denounced the corrupt nature of this power.

The same power, no decency which seeks to use the suffering of the population to continue proceedings elections measure, initiated before the earthquake, with a CEP maligned, considered partisan and won to the cause of the party in power.

All this, to continue to divert public funds and those of international aid, despite more than two hundred thousand (200 000) children, women and men who lost their lives in the disaster of January 12.

ALTERNATIVE said no. Enough.

We must prepare to participate in the mobilization for the country out of the rubble policies of President Préval, is the appeal of the alternative, to reshuffle the cards.
