Haiti Needs a Constructive Opposition, EU Chief Federica Mogherini says

Federica Mogherini - European Union

On the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the earthquake in Haiti, Federica made the following statement:

"Haiti is now suffering another political crisis that could reverse the gains of recent years. President Martelly has taken the lead in proposals, reflecting the recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission, to avoid the constitutional crisis which will result from expiry of Senate mandates, and to promote much needed electoral law reform."

"Former Prime Minister Lamothe has also contributed constructively. An inclusive government and renewed Electoral Commission and Supreme Courts are on the table. It is time for parliament to show political responsibility and engage positively on these proposals."

"I therefore expect all political actors in Haiti to assume their responsibility for stability and progress. Priority should also be given to legislative renewal through fair and open elections as soon as possible."

What do you think about that?
