MORE CAREFULLY CRAFTED LAVALAS PROPAGANDA: Haiti’s Police Clash With Protestors Over Budget Bill- Added COMMENTARY By Haitian-Truth

Haitian political parties and labor unions have been protesting against the budget for a month, arguing that it will affect the most underprivileged of the country.

Police forces have been clashing with around a thousand protesters in Haiti – they are demanding the government resigns and revokes the bill approving next year’s budget.

Demonstrators tried to march from an upper-class district of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday towards the city center in Petionville, but officers stopped them halfway with tear gas and water cannon.

“Check it out yourself: although the protesters are running away, the police officers are still persecuting them,” said the opposition senator Antonio Cheramy. “The more violent they will behave, and the more the people will mobilize,” he added, calling the strategy counterproductive.

“Instead of addressing the demands of the people, Jovenel orders the repression of a march,” said Pierre Richard, who highlighted that the protesters were mostly people “with hunger, thirst, with no place to live.”

The protests have been called by a group of opposition lawmakers from the leftist political party Fanmi Lavalas, and are led by the nation’s former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, along with other parties and social organizations.

The budget, introduced by Moise and Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant, was passed by the country’s Congress in September.

The march was also commemorating the assassination of Jean Jacques Dessalines, leader of the Haitian Revolution and the first president of an independent Haiti.

It is the tried and tested Lavalas plan to create confrontations that eventually see a few people killed – OFTEN BY LAVALAS PEOPLE INSIDE THE CROWD – that will lead to a further escalation.
The people on the street, for the protests described in this article, are well-dressed Haitians, not the really poor people looking for a shelter or something to eat.
The Senator Don Kato is a long-time Lavalas terrorist who just happens to have won an election. He is one of the people who kidnapped and murdered anti-Lavalas journalist Jacques Roche.
President Jovenel Moise is a mortal threat to the Lavalas group.
He is also a threat to the long-term, entrenched Monopolists who rape our economy without putting anything back.
ELECTRICITY,
RICE,
SUGAR….
One guy controls most of Haiti’s commerce, importing over 1000 containers of stuff each month, while blocking easy access to the Haitian markets for others.
All of these groups, plus the Dominican Republic, are pumping millions into the battle against Jovenel’s goal to give our 12,000,000 a better life.
The people funding these protest marches – against a budget they don’t understand are the antithesis of all they claim to stand for.
IT IS A LIFE OR DEATH STRUGGLE AND PEOPLE WILL DIES ON THE ROAD TO GOOD GOVERNMENT.
YOU WON’T FIND THIS LADY ON THE STREETS – PROTESTING.
SHE IS REALLY LOOKING FOR SHELTER AND SOME FOOD FOR HER KIDS.
BRAVO JOVENEL!!!
WE ARE WITH YOU.
