the press release, Fanmi Lavalas exposes the
attempts by the PHTK ruling party in Haiti to stage
yet another fraudulent election and condemns the war
of terror being waged by government-sponsored death
squads. Demanding an end to the dictatorial regime
of Jovenel Moise, Fanmi Lavalas calls for a
transitional government of broad national unity to
address the urgent needs of the population and to
create the conditions for truly free and fair
elections. </i><i>We hope you will read this

Press Release –<span> </span></b><b>September
26, 2020 (Unofficial English translation)</b></p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">In the name of the
National Representative President
Jean-Bertrand Aristide, The Executive
Committee and its Advisors bring you<span> </span><i>Lavalas</i><span> </span>greetings.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">Many grave events
are occurring in the country. After the
assassination of Attorney Monferrier Dorval,
Head of the Bar Association of
Port-au-Prince, massacres have continued to
take place in Bčlč, Solino, Site Solčy,
Lasalin, and many other areas of the
country. The train of death keeps moving
each day and the blood of the people
continues to be spilled non-stop since the
PHTK has usurped power following an
electoral coup<span> </span><i>d’état</i>.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">The dysfunctional
electoral council created by the indicted
[Jovenel Moise] is yet another violation of
the constitution that continues to plunge
the country into a deeper abyss. The
national mafia and a sector of the
internationals have colluded to organize
another electoral coup<span> </span><i>d’état</i>.
They even want to replace the constitution
of the country by another that is already
prepared without the people’s input. They
continue to declare war against the
population by pouring fuel on the fire of
the dictatorship. The intention of this
criminal power structure and the
international colonizers is to massacre
innocent people, and to terrorize the
population more each day to destroy our
future and bury us alive.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em"><i>Fanmi Lavalas</i><span> </span>Political
Organization remains steadfast in its
commitment to achieve the realization of the
legitimate demands of the majority
population. Electoral selection is a deadly
poison for democracy. All sectors of the
population have already stated their
position very clearly on this matter.
Churches, labor, and civil society
organizations, together with the majority of
organizations and political parties in the
country, are all of a common accord on this.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">Faced with this
crisis, with its many roots deeply
intertwined within the history and structure
of the current state,<span> </span><i>Fanmi
Lavalas</i><span> </span>Political
Organization remains committed to the choice
made by the Haitian people. It is for a
solution based on a historic Unity for a
transition that breaks with this ancient
system that is crushing the people.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">The population is
demanding a new beginning. People are urging
a re-founding of the state. Together with
the population, shoulder-to-shoulder with
all sectors with a clear vision, given the
necessity to change this model of a
plundering government, the time has come to
overturn the cauldron. It is imperative to
create a Government of Public Safety to
accompany the people through the transition
for a re-founding of the state.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em"><i>Fanmi Lavalas</i><span> </span>believes
that that the population is not looking for
a new political platform, another political
front, a new collective or political
grouping in order to pull itself out of this
bottomless abyss. It is only the People who
can save the People.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">Only popular
mobilization – with all conscious people,
true patriots, honest citizens, political
parties or political organizations that
choose to join with the people on the road
to a transition – finally will be able to
pull Haiti out of this present calamity. The
solution is not an electoral selection; it
lies in the mobilization of the entire
Nation that inevitably will quickly result
in the transition.</p>
<p style="padding:0px 0px 5px;margin:0px 0px
20px;line-height:1.5em">The time has come
for all sectors in the nation, all the
productive forces in the country, to gather
our collective strength and unite with the
population to put a stop to the project of
this criminal dictatorship. This is a
struggle to reclaim our Dignity in a country
that will take the road of Progress and
Development, in a climate of Peace and
Participation of all Haitians inside and
outside of the country.</p>
