Haiti - Politic : Crisis, FUSION calls for national dialogue
In a note, the Fusion party of Social Democrats (FUSION) said it was "concerned about the serious consequences of the political crisis [...] and by our inability as a people to agree to build the consensus needed to get us out and establish a normal democracy that works," in addition, FUSION is "convinced that the illegal and unconstitutional Agreement of February 5, 2016 was doomed to failure and could in no way be the solution to our political problems and that its signatories as well as those who supported it, knew from the beginning that there would have been no president elected on May 14 or June 14, 2016 [...]"
Considered that without constitutional solution, the authorities have missed every opportunity to seek consensus with the forces of the country to find together a sustainable exit from the political crisis, FUSION "solemnly appeal to all organized sectors of national life to invite them to :
Transform this political crisis into an opportunity to lay the foundations of a strong democracy and make it the starting point for the construction of a new Haiti ;
Participate in good faith in an inclusive national dialogue in order to conclude as soon as possible a political agreement for a sustainable exit from the political and institutional crisis, by lying around the negotiating table, all the sectors involved: political parties, organized groups of civil society ;
Quickly initiate political dialogue which will allow choose a provisional president in the spirit of the 1987 constitution among the judges of the Court of Cassation Court ;
Working together at the establishment of a transitional government whose term of office must be based on the agenda that will be retained to enable the country to begin from new bases. The government's main task will be the organization of general elections and sovereign within a reasonable time ;
Elaborate by common consent a roadmap for the transitional government and set up a citizen mechanism to ensure compliance with its provisions;
Modernizing the electoral process by the introduction of electronic voting ;
Institutionalize citizen participation as a means to reduce the cost of organizing elections ;
