It will be difficult to create an atmosphere in which the population understands what was the agreement between all parties before Martelly left the Presidency.

Privert’s mandate is a simple one. He must oversee the completion of the existing electoral process.

Privert – as Lavalas – will predictably, make an effort to dissolve what exists and replace this with a Lavalas biased environment.

This is not Democracy.

However – this is Reality.
