Haiti - Elections : Statements of Michel Martelly...

On Tuesday, the presidential candidate Michel Martelly said "the biggest problem to be solved in Haiti is the economy" expressing the hope that the international aid will continue to arrive in the country. He assured that his government will take favorable measures to the investment in Haiti by creating a stable legal framework for foreign investors to promote the country's economy. Stressing that the Dominican Republic will play an important role in the reconstruction process of Haiti through its investments that will be beneficial for the Dominican and Haitian businesses. I promise to eradicate the corruption, to govern the country with transparency and rebuild the trust between citizens and the government if I go to power [...] I represent the change, a new path that is clean, straightforward and transparent". The candidate Michel Martelly said he is open for the debate with her opponent, Mirlande Manigat.

Michel Martelly recalled that would establish a security force to replace the UN troops, recalling, that Edmond Mulet had indicated that the Minustah would withdraw gradually from Haiti over three years from 2012.

Wednesday, Michel Martelly declared "I am ready to work with all countries and maintain the cooperation agreements that the outgoing government has signed, if these agreements are for the benefit of Haiti" indicating also be willing to work with people from all political stripes "I refuse to identify people based on their ideology or affiliation, but only on the basis of their competence. Even if someone served under the Duvalier regime I am ready to work with it [...] the essential for us is to gather the most competent people. All those who will be identified as honest public servants, valuable and which were blocked by the system, will be maintained and will have the opportunity to participate in the new team [...] With me, the State will serve the greatest number. Its main role will be to ensure that the interests of the population are not prejudiced. This will be a radical change"

Criticized for blaming those who have degrees without having solved the problems of the country, the candidate has put forward his enthusiasm and desire to change his country "I give priority to education for all, in my program, you can not say that I'm against intellectuals and graduates Of course we should seek diplomas, but to lead [a country] we also need a knowledge of the terrain, know-how and above all the willingness [...] no man or woman will be able alone of rebuild this country in the State where it is, the entire population must be included" said the candidate.
