How can one expect an administration to provide - in just 5 years - real and lasting solutions to problems that have been destroying the country for many years?
When a president is elected and his/her administration is not generating results, the job of any serious contender is to win voters' confidence to access power through trusted elections. (Not the type of "elections" marred by fraud we just witness in recent months.)
Unfortunately, people still don't understand the concept of continuity and polical/administrative stability. I am not talking about the type of continuity Preval and INITE were promoting. Continuity is not a bad things in political administration if a government is performing positively for its people.
Without being a supporter of the newly-elected president of Haiti (Mr. Martelly), I have to give him credit for the way he circulate his message against the Preval Administration during his campaign. Clearly, folks in power in Haiti have shown their high level of incompetence in many ways (especially after 01-12-2010). If elected officials are not performing well, it is very simple. Prepare to defeat them in ELECTIONS. Not in selection, not in popularity contest, not in referendum, not in coup d'etat, not in fraudulous elections.
Anyways, it clearly served the best interests of some politicians when the vast majority of people who are eligible to vote are so poorly prepared in terms of civic education.
We'll talk more on this. Let me know what you think of this matter.
