After signing a political consensus for the establishment of a five-member presidential college to lead the transition, the Montana-PEN alliance is now turning to the Supreme Council of the Judiciary and one-third of the Senate to find a solution. consensual to the political crisis a few days before the date of February 7. In correspondence sent on February 3 to the CSPJ and the Senate, the Montana-PEN consensus seeks the good offices of the Senate and the CSPJ to find a broad consensus…
“Since the second Monday of January 2021, before the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, the governance crisis had already begun with the lapse of the Chamber of Deputies and the reduction of the Senate of the Republic to one third of its elected representatives. , Parliament thus becoming dysfunctional. No election, at any level, having been organized, there is no elected official in the municipalities and the territorial collectivities”, we read in the correspondences of Montana-PEN to the CSPJ and to the third of the Senate.
Montana-PEN pointed out that “as of the start of 2021, the executive branch has operated unconstitutionally, illegally and illegitimately. Faced with the collapse of the state and the inability of executive leaders to provide for the needs of our people and the worsening of impoverishment, faced with the denial of our political and social rights, a multitude of sectors of civil society, popular organizations and political parties have agreed to seek a Haitian solution to the crisis. »
“This approach, which is part of the reconquest of our sovereignty, allows us to choose our leaders in this period of transition and lay the essential milestones for this essential break with these bad practices of our leaders claimed by the whole country”, according to the Montana-PEN alliance.
For this group of political parties and civil society organizations, this month of February 2022 heralds an exacerbation of the collapse of major state institutions. “The Court of Cassation will try to work with a third of its members. It is almost impossible to replace the others and to validate them, in the absence of a President of the Republic. The judiciary is shaken because the terms of most judges have expired,” Montana-PEN remarked to senators and CSPJ members.
“With a desire for harmony and unity, the signatories of the modified MONTANA / PEN consensus and the GREH have come together to call on your institution to do everything possible to enable the country to find the most as possible to achieve lasting peace and establish a climate conducive to the holding of participatory and transparent general elections”, asked Montana-PEN in two letters addressed to Frantzy Philémon, vice-president of the Superior Council of the Judiciary and to Joseph Lambert, president of the third of the Senate.
“We are ready for a meeting with a view to creating this national consensus, the only way to create the conditions to relieve the suffering of all of us,” concludes the Montana-PEN alliance.
It should be noted that these correspondences come about a week after the members of the Montana Accord organized elections which led to the election of Fritz Alphonse Jean, president of the transition, and Steven Benoît, Prime Minister, while the members of PEN multiply the meetings in order to arrive at the choice of their representative within the presidential college of five members.
