The agreement brings together traditional groups from the political scene and civil society, but also new actors such as Petrochallengers, young people motivated to obtain transparency in the management of public funds, especially those loaned by Venezuela to Haiti via the Petrocaribe program.
Among them, Mackenson Eprimé 29 years, satisfied with this step. " Today, we who leave the neighborhoods, we have this agreement, we say that it is a pride that we could sign it. We are determined today to take the destiny of our country in hand, we boys and girls. "
Some, like Jeanty Manis, remain skeptical about the agreement, especially since it provides no timetable or deadline for the installation of this possible transition regime. " They have to tell us what day Jovenel is going to come out of power because we know there is a series of people in the opposition who struggle only to settle their personal belongings and get rich. The people are suffering, the people are hungry, the people are plunged into misery and unemployment. When these problems of the neighborhoods are finally addressed, at that moment, we will be done.
