Description:

  • Pè Edner Devalcin, youn nan responsab pati Lavalas, pale sou eleksyon ki fèk fèt yo, sitou sou wòl eli lokal yo (KAZEK ak AZEK yo), ak sou reyaksyon kominote entènasyonal la aprè eleksyon yo. Anpil moun pè ap gen anbago, sitou yon anbago èd ameriken, paske eleksyon yo pa t bay rezilta pati repibliken Ozetazini te swete yo. Gen yon gwo konplo entènasyonal pou asire ke Ayiti echwe, epi Devalcin kritike kèk manm opozisyon ayisyen an k ap patisipe nan konplo pou fè Ayiti echwe a. Li pale tou sou kesyon ensekirite, jistis, ak enfrastrikti, an patikilye sou kesyon kouran. Dapre Devalcin, yo konn di tout moun ki fè dezòd nan lari a se Lavalas yo ye, men yo pa fè òganizasyon politik la, se jis moun ki renmen Aristide antanke lidè karizmatik. "Se grangou ki fè moun nan chimerik" deklare Devalcin. Montas reponn li, "Pafwa se pouvwa." Li eksplike poukisa Lavalas chwazi patisipe nan eleksyon an pou kont li,san lòt pati politik ki te nan mouvman Lavalas la (tankou MOP ak KOREGA).

  • Father Edner Devalcin, one of the leaders of the Lavalas party, discusses the recent elections, including the role of local government officials (ASECs and CASECs), and the international community's reaction to the elections. Many fear that foreign aid, particularly US aid, will be cut off in retaliation for the elections, which did not yield the results desired by the US Republican party. There is an international plan to ensure Haiti fails, and Devalcin criticizes some members of the opposition in Haiti, who according to him hate their own country and are conspiring to make it fail. He also discusses questions of insecurity, justice, impunity, and infrastructure, including electricity. According to Devalcin, people who create violent disorder are frequently described as "Lavalas" but they are not part of the political organization, they are simply people who are attracted to Aristide as a charismatic leader. "Hunger makes people chimères" he says, to which Montas says, "So can power." He explains Lavalas's decision to participate in the election alone, without other political parties who were part of the Lavalas movement (such as MOP and KOREGA).

  • Le père Edner Devalcin, un des responsables du parti Lavalas, commente les récentes élections, parlant notamment du rôle des élus locaux (ASECs et CASECs) et de la réaction de la communauté internationale. Beaucoup d'Haïtiens craignent que l'aide internationale et en particulier l'aide provenant des États-Unis ne soit coupée en réaction aux mauvais résultats du parti républicain américain. D'après Devalcin, il existe un complot international pour assurer l'échec d'Haïti. Il critique certains membres de l'opposition en Haïti, qui, selon lui, haïssent leur pays et fomentent pour le voir chuter. Il aborde aussi les questions d'insécurité, de justice, d'impunité et des infrastructures, notamment de l'électricité. Devalcin déclare que les gens qui sont à l'origine de violences et de désordre sont souvent étiquetés comme faisant partie de Lavalas, mais qu'en réalité ces derniers n'appartiennent pas à l'organisation politique, ils sont simplement attirés par le leadership charismatique d'Aristide. « La faim crée les chimères » dit-il, ce à quoi Montas répond : « Parfois, c'est le pouvoir ». Il explique pourquoi Lavalas a décidé de participer seul à l'élection, sans les autres partis politiques qui composaient leur mouvement (tels que MOP et KOREGA).
