IT MUST BE FIRST UNDERSTOOD THAT MARTELLY  SHOULD NOT HAVE WON THE ELECTION, HAD THE NOVEMBER BALLOT BEEN TREATED HONESTLY. THE CANDIDATES WITH THE MOST VOTES WERE – IN THIS ORDER – JEAN-HENRY CEANT, CHARLITO BAKER, AND MARTELLY. PREVAL WAS AFRAID OF A CEANT PRESIDENCY AND DERAILED THE PROCESS WHICH EVENTUALLY SAW MARTELLY AND MANIGAT IN A RUN OFF.

PREVAL IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESENT SITUATION, SUPPORTED BY THE STUPIDITY OF OUR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

MARTELLY AND ROUZIER HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A LIFETIME.  MOST AGREE THAT ROUZIER WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT CHOICE FOR PRIME MINISTER, IF IT WAS NOT FOR ONE SIMPLE FLAW.

HE IS A FRENCH CITIZEN.

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE MARTELLY CHOICE OF ROUZIER,   IS A TRULY STUNNING, THOUGHTLESS MOVE.

MARTELLY KNEW OF ROUZIER’S FRENCH PASSPORT.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH ROUZIER’S WIFE WAS KIDNAPPED AND ABUSED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE FAMILY FLED TO FRANCE AND BECAME CITIZENS. NO BIG DEAL. BUT, NO MATTER HOW GOOD ROUZIER MIGHT BE, THE CONSTITUTION SAYS HE IS NOT A LEGITIMATE CANDIDATE.

EVEN IF PARLIAMENT HAD KEPT THEIR DEAL WITH MARTELLY, AT SOME TIME, IN THE FUTURE, THE FRENCH CARD WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED, COLLAPSING THE MARTELLY GOVERNMENT.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THERE WAS SOME SORT OF DEAL IN WHICH PARLIAMENT WOULD ACCEPT ROUZIER – IN SPITE OF HIS FRENCH PASSPORT – BUT THE SENATORS AND DEPUTIES DOUBLE-CROSSED MARTELLY, AT THE LAST MINUTE.

SHOULDN’T BE A SURPRISE.

SO WE HAVE WASTED A COMPLETE MONTH ON A DEAD CANDIDACY.

CEANT SHOULD HAVE WON THE PRESIDENCY AND HAD UNBELIEVABLE SUPPORT – NATIONWIDE.

NOW IS THE TIME TO RIGHT A WRONG.

MARTELLY SHOULD SELECT CEANT AS HIS CANDIDATE FOR PRIME MINISTER  AND GIVE THE NATION A CHANCE AT SURVIVAL.
