Miles of people are demonstrating these celebrations in the capital of Haiti and in various provincial capitals to ask President Jovenel Moise to “respect” the Constitution of the country and give it power next February 7th.

Moise used the power on February 7, 2017 for a period of fifty years, making some turbulent elections that were canceled in 2015 due to fraud and that were repeated in 2016.
Based on an article of the Constitution, the opposition assured that the election of the five years of the mandate of Moses will begin in 2016, coinciding with the final of the presidency of Michel Martelly, and no in 2017.
Without embarrassment, this interpretation of the Magnetic Card is appreciated as much by officialism as by the Organization of American States (OEA) and the United States, which allows Moses to have one more power.
At the moment, the mandate is impulsive the drafting of a new Constitution, which will be referred to sometime in the near future, predictably, next April.

The legislative measures are initially planned for 2019, but will be replaced by the political instability that will plague the country in this era, which will take the lead in Parliament by 2020.
