In Haiti, the political and social crisis continues. Remained silent since the beginning of the fuel shortage in mid-August, and faced with violent demonstrations, President Jovenel Moses finally came out of his silence on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday.
With our correspondent in Haiti, Amélie Baron
It was in the middle of the night that the speech to the nation of Jovenel Moses was broadcast on Haitian television. It was not until two o'clock in the morning on Wednesday to follow on state television the message, yet pre-recorded, of the Haitian president.
Fifteen minutes in Creole and French in which Jovenel Moses calls for a historic truce. He also expressed his sympathy for the victims of insecurity. And clearly pointed out the Senate's responsibility for the absence of a functional government for seven months:
" We have found that the Senate is not in a position to fulfill its constitutional obligations in order to endow the country with a legitimate government or to refuse the policy statement of two successive governments in seven months and six aborted sessions. I take note of it. "

Even if he takes note of it, the president is not announcing any measure to install what he called a " government of national unity ". Just as he did not specify the measures to restore order, while the barricades and demonstrations still paralyze activities in the country.
