Destroying Michel Martelly's Picture to express anger against the Government

Destroying Michel Martelly's Picture to express anger against the Government

One individual uses urinate on a picture of Haitian President Michel Martelly to express his anger against the Government.

If there aren't any public conveniences (toilets) available, and nature is calling, it may not amount to an offense to 'relieve yourself' in public. If one is drunk, it could be classed as drunken disorderly; however, the walls, doors and windowsills should never be used as urinals, because it causes untold misery to the residents. Many culprits blame their behavior on a lack of public toilets, but that should never be an excuse. Although, urinating in public is illegal in every state, currently, it is not a big offense to urinate in the street, but cops can still bust you for indecent exposure, anytime. A fixed fine is a simpler and effective deterrent unless it is a big public order offense. Recently, on December 2nd, the Russian president Vladimir Putin, who is despised so much, that boys in a Ukrainian city created a picture of him melded with Hitler's distinctive mustache, and allowed locals to urinate and wipe their bottoms on his face. Such similar incident occurred earlier in Haiti on March 25, 2013 when Aristide went to court; one individual publicly urinated on a picture of Haitian President Martelly

Haitian Protesters Called On Russian President Vladimir Putin For Help

On December 6, 2014, thousands of anti-government protesters, hit the streets and had clashes with the police in the Haitian capital. They were demanding President Martelly and Prime Minister Lamothe to resign and long-overdue elections to be held. Opposition politicians regularly accuse that Martelly is deliberately postponing the election as he prefers to rule the country by order of decree. Haiti is a protectorate of US with all its 'free trade zones'. Some of the protesters were blaming the US for supporting Haiti's leadership. They were carrying pictures of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the placards and called on for his help. Many of them succeeded in reaching the National Palace. For the last two years citizens were not allowed to cross in front of the National Palace. One protester, who identified himself as Reginald, had said, this is a victory against President Martelly who is destroying our country.

Haitian President Michel Martelly Historic Meeting With Jean Bertrand Aristide

This was the second meeting between these two leaders. Earlier they had met on October 11, 2011. At the first meeting, President Martelly disclosed his plan to organize a conference of former leaders of Haiti. Because he felt that all Haitians should come together in order to build a project, a shared vision is needed to put the country back on its feet. After that meeting, the former President while welcoming the effort of reinforcement had announced that, all necessary steps should be taken to ensure that we can agree and put our heads together. The meeting between these two Presidents was considered as one of the most important steps in the reconciliation process.

Here is a picture of the Commission consultative to President Michel Martelly with the responsibility to review all the propositions and to make a final recommendation to the president.

Martelly Establishes Consultative Commission to Avert Constitutional Crisis

Martelly appeared on a nation-wide broadcast to speak about the situation, confronting the country. He said he has tried to make concessions in talks with several political groups. But currently he has appointed an 11-member Consultative Commission to aggregate the past two months' worth of political consultations and make recommendations.

Evans Paul of Konvansyon Inite Demokratik feels the Commission will fulfill its obligations in a fair manner. But Serge Jean Louis of opposition party MOPOD says, "This Commission is a joke, made up of people, most of whom are close to the government and schemers . . ."

Political relationship, Martelly-Lamothe, Aristide-Preval

Political relationship, Martelly-Lamothe, Aristide-Preval

Is there such a thing as political friendship? Can a political friend be considered a real friend?

There is a very good reason why I am asking this question. In Haiti as it is the case in many other countries, I see political relationships being formed regularly. Michel Martelly, although he has known Laurent Lamothe well before, they have decided to form political partners. will this new venture end their long time relationship or not?

The Haitian President and his Prime Minister were at one point inseparable. However, in politic, the rules are different. If you dont trust me, go ask Preval or Aristide. Not too long ago, Former President Jean Bertrand Aristide and his Prime Minister Rene Preval were in the same position. Just watching how the relationship between Jean Bertrand Aristide and Rene Preval has deteriorated since President Aristide has left office, i can't help to ask the same question between the Martelly-Lamothe team.

With the Presidential commission recommending the resignation of Laurent Lamothe as Prime Minister, will the relationship remain?

Haiti protesters destroying Michel Martelly Picture. Will he call for Elections in January 2015?

Michel Martelly has extended three invitations to opposition parties to meet and find a solution to the crisis. But the opposition has yet to agree to a joint meeting. Martelly went so far as to extend an invitation to the extremist party, Fanmi Lavalas, who regards the invitation as merely an extraneous piece of information.

The National Palace, anticipating there would be demonstration activity around the building, had the Haitian National Police put up barricades. Demonstrators held placards demanding democratic elections along with a new government, as well ordering the government to release incarcerated opposition activists.

At the center of the firestorm brewing as the year draws to a close, Martelly is promising he will call for elections at the beginning of the new year even if the electoral crisis is not breeched.

Will Martelly call for Elections in January 2015?

Anti-government protestors, who gathered by the thousands in Port-au-Prince last Tuesday November 25th, demanded President Martelly step down. They say he is planning to rule as dictator once 2015 arrives. Protestors concerns are real for it is true Martelly has the option to rule by Presidential decree if elections are not held by January 12th. By that date the terms of Parliament members will run out, forcing a constitutional crisis.

So far state and municipal elections have been delayed three years. Haitians were set to go and cast ballots on October 26th, but a bloc of six senators in the National Assembly refused to pass an electoral law, declaring it unconstitutional.

Michel Martelly - Mateli Papa BonKe For Delivering Christmas Gifts

Michel Martelly - Mateli Papa BonKe For Delivering Christmas Gifts

Here is a sign that a fan of Martelly was carrying during the visit of the president to deliver Christmas gifts t the population. The sign says Mateli Papa BonKe

This obviously looks like I am living at the time when Duvalier was in power and where people were obligated to carry these signs of propaganda.

Propaganda is generally an appeal to emotion, not intellect. This form of communication from the Haitian government was used frequently to influence the attitude of the population toward a cause. These biased messages had only one purpose to encourage participation and belief in the regime.
