While saying to be "open" to meet with President Martelly, Jean André Victor, the Coordinator of the "Patriotic Movement of the Democratic Opposition" (MOPOD), which groups the main opposition parties, increases the prerequisites to a meeting, which appears every day more and more unlikely

First, the MOPOD no longer want to hear about consultations on pre-electoral crisis alone, but of negotiations on all the points of the current conjuncture in the country, including the resignation of the Head of State. https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12151-haiti-elections-mirlande-manigat-and-mopod-want-to-negotiate-everything-including-the-resignation-of-martelly.html

For his part, Me André Michel, said that prior to any negotiation, MOPOD demands amonh others : the release of political prisoners, the end of persecution against members of the opposition, the suspension of the ban to leaave the country and and the cancellation of arrest warrants targeting specific members of the opposition...

"Requests" that do not seem negotiable, because if they are not met, Me Michel says that in this case it will be the general mobilization across the country to demand the departure of President of the Republic.

Knowing that these opposition parties are challenging the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), calling for early general elections in 2015 and the resignation of President Martelly and Prime Minister, one hardly sees in these conditions, how the two sides will be able to fill this gap and reach for dialogue...

Meanwhile the senators of the opposition of G6, whose 4

responded positively last Friday at the invitation of President Martelly to dialogue (after 3 invitations denied) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12210-haiti-politic-the-president-martelly-met-with-members-of-g6.html , as part of the consultation tour he had initiated on September 22 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12116-haiti-politic-first-day-of-dialogue-with-president-martelly.html , now demanding an agenda and methodology, able to satisfy both parties before any further discussions.

Last minute :

This Wednesday morning the social and political forces (MOPOD, FOPARK, OTAN, cell mobilization Fanmi Lavalas) have meet for : present a national mobilization schedule for the month of October ; demand the release of political prisoners, such as : the brothers Florestal, Louima Louijuste, Jean Robert Vincent etc... and demand an end to political persecution against Aristide and André Michel and the lifting of the ban to leave the country against the latter.
