Why will the next power in Haiti be that of a modern and humanist right?

1-A transition that heralds a major political recomposition. Since the tragic assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, Haiti has been going through a period of institutional uncertainty comparable to the times of instability preceding Faustin Soulouque's rise to power in 1847. As in that era, the country faces a succession of ephemeral governments, lacking a long-term vision and incapable of restoring state authority. The current political transition reveals a cycle of disorder and fragmentation, where the absence of a coherent national project has given way to governance by circumstance. History shows, however, that such periods are often preludes to a restoration of order by structured, disciplined forces carrying a vision of national reconstruction. In the same way that the post-independence crisis paved the way for a redefinition of power under Soulouque, the current situation prepares the ground for a modern right — not authoritarian, but rational, technocratic, and sovereignist — capable of sustainably stabilizing the country. 2.- From history to foresight: towards a modern and republican right. The evolution of the global context shows a resurgence of pragmatic right-wing forces across the American continent: from the United States (with the resurgence of the conservative current embodied by the «new American right») to South America (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador), not forgetting the moderate center-right governance trends in the Dominican Republic and El Salvador. This return is explained by the will of the people to place security, discipline, productive investment, and national responsibility at the heart of public policies, in the face of the crisis of disorderly liberalism and systemic corruption. Haiti does not escape this logic. The country, facing social disintegration and institutional failure, instinctively seeks strong but ethical governance, capable of reconciling order and inclusion. It is this scientific, humanist, and republican right, inspired by the values of Dessalines and modern reason, that today represents the path to national salvation. 3.- A comparative reading: ephemeral governments before Soulouque and the current crisis. The chronic instability observed since 2021 strikingly recalls the years of political confusion that followed the death of Jean-Pierre Boyer and preceded the imperial regime of Faustin Soulouque. At that time, several weak and divided governments succeeded one another, unable to respond to the country's challenges. The population, weary of the disorganization, eventually turned to an authority capable of restoring order and national cohesion. Today, history seems to repeat itself: the multiplicity of clans, the fragility of institutions, and the loss of collective bearings testify to a cycle of political disorientation. However, unlike the 19th century, the coming new Haitian right must be modern, democratic, and open, founded not on domination, but on science, planning, and public morality. 4.- An essential geopolitical dimension: the rise of the new American right.- Internationally, the rise of the new American right, embodied by the return of the Trumpist current, now influences the diplomatic balances of the continent. This orientation highlights economic protectionism, national sovereignty, and industrial relocation, values that could inspire Haiti in its quest for economic autonomy. In a changing world, marked by technological competition and the reconfiguration of alliances, a modern Haitian right must know how to dialogue with this international trend, not through mimicry, but through strategic convergence: affirming Haiti's sovereignty while intelligently integrating into new regional dynamics. Conclusion: towards a humanist and scientific Dessalinian right.- Given the complexity of the current crisis, it is clear that Haiti can no longer be content with improvised experiments or dogmatic ideologies disconnected from reality. The country needs leadership with a clear, pragmatic vision based on scientific research, capable of formulating rational and sustainable public policies. Haiti's future lies in the emergence of a modern, humanist, and scientific right, heir to the principles of Dessalines, but adapted to the demands of the 21st century: a republican, ethical, disciplined Dessalinian right open to the world. This orientation advocates neither authoritarian rigidity nor populist complacency, but balanced governance, focused on science, technology, economic rationality, and social innovation. It is precisely this humanist and scientific Dessalinian right that inspires the program of the political party Patriyòt Rasanble pou Sove Lakay (PARASOL), named «Renaissance (Leave No One Behind)», articulated around Thirteen Commandments and developed in a 1,500-page document defining the foundations of the Second Republic, or Resurgent Republic. This program embodies the vision of a strong, just, and strategically oriented state towards sustainable progress, where science, ethics, and experience finally replace practices of amateurism and political improvisation. The time for trial and error is over: it is time for Haiti to reconnect with reason, discipline, and scientific research applied to governance — the true foundations of a lasting and inclusive national renaissance.
