Text of the note published by Youri Latortue :

"Following serious allegations, presented by compatriots to certain Canadian https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38058-haiti-flash-chancellor-of-canada-melanie-joly-announces-sanctions-against-j-lambert-and-y-latortue.html and American authorities https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-38056-haiti-flash-j-lambert-and-y-latortue-sanctioned-by-the-usa-all-the-details.html , these two countries have adopted financial sanctions against me.

Also, to avoid harming the operation of all commercial companies with which I am affiliated, and out of consideration for their customers, as much as my partners, I have decided, for the time of my defense, to withdraw from all commercial activities, in particular agro-industrial activities of national production, to which I devoted myself up to now.

I undertake to fight these allegations of which I am the victim, and will continue to support the efforts of the Ayiti An Aksyon Party to defend the interests of the country, by forcing me to modify my schedule.

However, I consider it my duty to announce publicly that I am already available to receive the evidence held against me. Years of rumors, and defamatory abuse, without any evidence, must finally be confronted for my credibility and my honor to be restored.

Port-au-Prince, November 6, 2022.-

Youri Latortue

Former Senator of the Republic of Haiti

Former President of the Senate of the Republic of Haiti

Former soldier and Police Commissioner"
