Presidente Martelly dice "olvidar el pasado"

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haití (defend.ht) - El presidente Martelly, en un mensaje a la nación el 23 de noviembre, llama a "olvidar el pasado." Felicitó a los senadores que él dijo había comprendido la necesidad de no agravar la crisis y dijo que ojalá que reúne a representantes de las tres ramas de poder en torno a la misma mesa.

The Haitian president calls to end the crisis between Executive and Parliament. Michel Martelly congratulated the senators not to worsen the situation in their resolutions of November 22 and calls members of the lower house to follow their example, in order to establish stability in the country.

The head of state decides to meet with representatives of the executive, legislature and judiciary, because he believes that harmony between these three entities will promote the economic and social development.

"It's time to forget what happened," said the president in this pre-recorded message broadcast in the media.

"The executive, the judiciary and the legislature are complementary to each other. These three powers must keep the country on track, according to the constitution ", confessed the president.

Finally, he congratulated the behavior of the former Minister of Justice, Josue Pierre-Louis, who, according to the head of state, "left his position to facilitate the resolution of the crisis." Senator Kély Bastien has in turn responded favorably to Thursday's call for dialogue and reconciliation of President Michel Martelly. He calls it a "gesture of appeasement," likely to create the conditions for initiating a debate on major national issues.
