Haiti - Politic : The protesters crossing safety barriers of the National Palace

Friday morning, to the appeal of the parties of the radical opposition, thousands of people left the church of Saint John Bosco, demonstrated in the streets of Port-au-Prince, to demand the resignation of President Martelly and Prime Minister Lamothe, and paradoxically demanded elections, while they are the six senators on those parties who refuse to vote the electoral law...

Throughout the course, the protesters threw hostile about against the Head of State and Prime Minister, denouncing bad governance and corruption in government "Sa Mateli te ye pou nou pa voye l ale," chanted the demonstrators, waving placards on whom one could read among others "we will not go to elections with this power" to the rhythm of Rara bands,

Arrived in front of the Embassy of France, protesters accused France of being one of the great responsible for Haiti's problems, supporting the government in place, threatening to burn the flag of the Republic of France.

By leaving the site of the Embassy, the crowd rushed to the National Palace, taking the speed over the police, foiling security devices, protesters crossed the barrier erected by the police for the first time in recent years. Singing and dancing to celebrate their victory, the protesters demanded the departure of the regime "Tèt kale" before to leave a little later, under the forceful pressure of the police, who took control of the situation.

And as every opposition demonstration, protesters burned tires and threw stones at police who responded with tear gas. Fortunately, no casualties were reported but several minor injuries were reported.
