The debate -marked by tension- is structured around reporting on the progress of the CEP’s work, analyzing details about the elections and the popular consultation.

One side defends the idea that it is imperative to organize elections to provide the country with legitimate institutions.

The other side categorically rejects any idea of voting under the current conditions.

Danio Siriac, representative of the Organization of Peoples in Struggle explained that there are two obstacles, violence and the number of displaced people, and considered it vital to put an end to insecurity.

Le National newspaper reported that Siriac called for a reform of the electoral process, as he believes that Haiti can no longer rely solely on the national identity card to vote.

The debate did not shed light as expected on these issues, but only left the image of the fractures in Haiti’s political world.

Earlier, CEP director Max Delice predicted that the process to prepare for the elections will be complex, considering the situation of the country.
