I.
Introduction— The 21st Century or the End of Global Illusions.-
The 21st century is characterized by a profound shift in global balances. Globalization, long perceived as a universal vector of prosperity and democracy, has revealed its limits: economic dependence, fragility of national institutions, growing inequalities, and loss of trust in elites. Globalist progressivism, often disconnected from local realities, has failed to provide lasting solutions to economic, social, and security crises.
In this context, Donald Trump's New America inaugurates a post-ideological era, centered on realism, sovereignty, and effectiveness. His foreign policy is no longer based on abstract slogans or ideological promises, but on the ability to achieve tangible results for his people and to preserve American influence on the world stage. Trump has thus redefined the very notion of power: it no longer resides solely in military projection or traditional diplomacy, but in the combination of economic pragmatism, strategic firmness, and political credibility.
Haiti, facing chronic instability and institutional collapse, finds itself at a crossroads. In this global context, the country needs a vision that combines discipline, rationality, and humanism, capable of restoring its sovereignty and meeting the aspirations of its population. The Dessalinian Renaissance proposed by Yvon Bonhomme and PARASOL, through the Renaissance (Leave No One Behind) program, represents this alternative. It articulates a holistic approach, including economic reconstruction, social justice, and the inclusion of women, youth, and people with disabilities, while preserving national sovereignty.
This op-ed analyzes the phenomenon of the new global right, compares its successes with the failures of left-wing populist regimes, and demonstrates how Bonhomme's vision stands as a realistic and humanist solution for Haiti, in harmony with new international orientations, particularly those championed by Donald Trump and his allies.
II. Donald Trump's New America — The Return of Global Political Realism.-
Donald Trump embodies a decisive turning point in contemporary history. His presidency was marked by a questioning of multilateralism and a return to an assumed political realism. The Trumpian doctrine rests on several pillars:
- National sovereignty first: The United States reaffirmed its primacy in defining its domestic and foreign policy, breaking with globalist expectations.
- Economic power as an instrument of diplomacy: The imposition of customs tariffs and the renegotiation of international trade agreements showed that economic strength could protect national industry and restore global balance. National security and moral order: Military reforms and anti-terrorism initiatives were guided by a pragmatic vision, focused on protecting citizens and their strategic interests.
- Transactional and balanced alliances: Trump favored pragmatic collaboration with reliable partners (Israel, certain Gulf countries), while maintaining a firm stance against powers that did not respect American interests.
This approach inspired and legitimized a global movement of realistic and humanist right-wing politics, where effectiveness takes precedence over ideology, and where sovereignty is a fundamental principle.
III. The Collapse of Left-Wing Populism in Latin America.-
The Latin American left, from Hugo Chávez to Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, Evo Morales in Bolivia, and Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua, based its legitimacy on anti-imperialist discourse and promises of wealth redistribution. However, the reality of the 21st century has shown the profound limits of these models: economic failure, institutional weakening, social crisis, and diplomatic marginalization. The rise of pragmatic right-wing politics, embodied by Trump, Meloni, Milei, and Bukele, thus appears as the answer to ideological failures.
IV. The Maduro Case — Idealism Versus Reason.-
Nicolás Maduro illustrates the failure of left-wing populism: hyperinflation, shortages, mass exodus, and authoritarian centralization of power. Unlike Trump and realistic leaders, Maduro clings to power through coercion rather than reform, demonstrating the moral bankruptcy of populism. The lesson is clear: in the 21st century, power must be exercised with pragmatism and rationality.
V. The Rise of the New Global Right.-
The contemporary world is witnessing a major ideological reconfiguration. The pragmatic and realistic right, embodied by Donald Trump (USA), Giorgia Meloni (Italy), Javier Milei (Argentina), Nayib Bukele (El Salvador), Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel), Viktor Orbán (Hungary), Marine Le Pen (France), Geert Wilders (Netherlands), Narendra Modi (India), William Ruto (Kenya), and Bola Tinubu (Nigeria), represents a movement founded on realism, sovereignty, and political effectiveness. Common traits: national sovereignty, economic pragmatism, security and public order, rational and inclusive nationalism. This rise redefines international alliances and offers a model that Haiti can adopt through the Dessalinian Renaissance.
VI. Haiti at the Crossroads of Sovereignties: From Chaos to the Dessalinian Renaissance.-
Haiti, facing institutional collapse and external dependence, can benefit from global transformations. The Dessalinian Renaissance and the Renaissance (Leave No One Behind) program aim to restore the moral authority of the State, rehabilitate key institutions, develop an inclusive economy, and ensure the integration of all components of society. This holistic approach combines discipline, rationality, and humanism.
VII. The Humanist Dessalinian Right — The Haitian Response to Global Change.-
The Humanist Dessalinian Right combines strong national sovereignty, enlightened authority, and practical humanism. The 13 Commandments of the Second Republic guide governance, economic development, education, and diplomacy. This approach reflects the principles of the New America while adapting them to Haitian realities, offering stability, social cohesion, and international credibility.
VIII. Yvon Bonhomme — The Stoic of New Haitian Governance.-
Yvon Bonhomme embodies the convergence between historical vision and contemporary pragmatism. Former Director General of MHAVE (Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad) and founder of the Madan Sara movement, he applies political stoicism, Dessalinian humanism, and strategic diplomacy. His inclusive and effective vision constitutes a credible alternative to Haitian challenges.
IX. Diplomacy and Partnership with the New America.-
Haiti can benefit from the rise of the New America to strengthen its international position through pragmatic cooperation with the USA, balanced dialogue with Israel and the BRICS, and integration into regional security and development initiatives. The PARASOL program ensures that Haiti cooperates without subservience, guaranteeing autonomy and respect.
X. Conclusion — The World, Haiti, and the Renaissance of the Real.-
The 21st century imposes a world of realism and responsibility. The rise of the pragmatic right shows that sovereignty, discipline, and rationality are the pillars of modern power. Haiti can reposition itself as a credible actor through the Dessalinian Renaissance and the PARASOL program. Yvon Bonhomme embodies this moral and rational leadership, combining sovereignty, humanism, and governmental effectiveness.
