Security Crisis or Crisis of Conscience, the Spokesperson for the National Awakening for Haiti's Sovereignty Party Shares His Opinion

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— The deleterious situation in Haiti is far from being a simple accident. It is a construction over the years and generations, opined Dinaov Fresnel Desil, spokesperson for the National Awakening for Sovereignty party, who participated in the Thermometer program on Radio Solidarité.

For the spokesperson of this young party, what is happening in the neighborhoods is a scaffold of a lack of political will and patriotic conscience. “We have chosen this way of functioning for our society and to make it our comfort,” declared Desil, asserting that for over two centuries of history, Haitian elites have not wanted to try other models. “Even when wanting to change the constitution, they seek to maintain the status quo,” he hammered.

Desil disapproves of the transitional governance, which he deems mediocre and in bad faith. While he advocates that security is a matter of public policy stemming from a broader vision of society, the spokesperson for the Réveil party condemns the authorities' contempt for the suffering of a population grappling with the relentless violence of criminal gangs.

The spokesperson for the Réveil party denounces what he describes as the unpatriotic behavior of those who invade decision-making spaces. “The country must be rid of the “Conzé” and make way for the true sons and daughters of Haiti,” he declared, acknowledging that it will not be easy without fighting against the system in place.

Appealing to what he calls a shred of humanity among Haitian leaders, Dinaov Fresnel Desil concludes that the Haitian crisis is above all a crisis of humanity and political will. “We must rethink our education, repatriate it by drawing from our culture to spare future generations from this crisis of conscience that undermines our humanity,” he concluded.
