We are witnessing a pathetic play, a tragicomedy, as one would say in literature, but with actors of astonishing amateurism; some men of letters have decided to make a pact with the devil. As a well-known former president said: “Does that bother anyone?”
Politics in 2025 borders on scandal and ineptitude, a situation never before seen. Political parties and terrorists find themselves at the same negotiating table, a first in the Republic.
Before, there were unofficial discussions with armed groups, but some have deemed it appropriate to institutionalize this method. Nothing more normal for them. What an absurdity! The worst part is that they are trying to normalize it.
“Where are we going in this country?” former Senator Andris Riché reportedly said. I finally understand these words, nearly ten years later, because nationality no longer exists. Ethics have become a trivial concept, scandal a way of life in the political sphere, and Machiavelli’s philosophy seems to be the doctrine of some actors.
They will surely say: “The end justifies the means”? What better way than to make a pact with terrorists to overthrow the current power. The important thing is the result. A modus operandi that is frightening and goes against the ideals of our founding fathers: Dessalines, Petion, Christophe, etc.
Gentlemen, know this: history is watching you, and to this day, it will speak of you as renegades of the Republic. Some have chosen politics, probably so their names would remain eternal. Do not worry, they will be, but categorized alongside gangsters. You always have been, but this time you are leaving the stage of “white-collar gangsters” to become plain gangsters. You have been demoted, I would say.
Here, no one can hide. The clerk of the court of history is taking notes. Every action, every statement is observed, dissected. And we are in the digital age: everything will remain, nothing will be erased.
The court of history is in session. To those in power, know that the nation is watching you. Change course, innovate, and surprise us. Less propaganda, more action, and if you miss the mark, public opinion will judge you too.
A new wind is blowing in the Republic. This time, it is not a communication or propaganda operation either, but concrete facts and actions. Good news, finally, in a context where Haitian society faces immense challenges that only politicians genuinely desirous of change can overcome.
Lavalas is at the helm.
Twenty years later, its members want to rewrite history. Is it a utopia, or are we dreaming?
Perhaps it is too good to be true. In the net of the Haitian National Police, which seems to have decided to catch big fish, several important figures have been arrested. And according to reports, the fishing is not yet over. I want to be optimistic for once. My confidence does not rest on the current political actors, who have already failed, but on a collective awakening and a desire to change the course of history, despite past mistakes. Magalie, Propane… So many names now behind bars.
With a touch of sarcasm, I would say: Finally, the “Mèt peyi” or “Bandi legal” are answering for their actions. Should we hope for the end of the era where the nomenklatura did as it pleased? The people want a documentary about change in Haiti. Heads must roll. While it is appropriate to congratulate the DCPJ for its recent progress, we want more. We are greedy: Continue, arrest them, judge them! Dear political kaleidoscope CPT, take the nation's destiny into your hands. Know that no one can speak of political persecution because tout moun ladann! The era when criminals hid behind the political scene is over. Go ahead, mare yo, and restore security to allow for the organization of elections, or get out!
