Haiti - Social : Demonstration for electricity in Croix-Martyr
Very early Saturday, April 26, the residents of Croix-Martyr (Petit-Goâve) demonstrated on the National Road #2 to require the electrification of their area, located near the city center, blocking for more than 40 minutes, the National Road #2 before dispersing peacefully, following the intervention of the police.
The protesters ask the Deputy Stevenson Jacques Timoléon to meet his campaign promise "[...] He was committed to electrify our community. He must honor its promise [...] We will spend the 2014 World Cup without that Croix-Martyris with electricity [...] it is an injustice we are in the 21st century, we can not live without power. It lacks 12 pylons for our community so that our community has the electricity [...]"
Local residents of Croix-Martyr threaten to continue their movement until satisfaction of their claim stating that "next week, the National road will be blocked permanently..."
