Haitian scientists tomorrow will call the city’s various city calls to demand that President Jovenel Moise leave the power on February 7, close to the end of his term of office.
In the capital, Puerto Príncipe, as well as in the cities of Petit-Goave, Mirebalais, Verretes and in St-Marc the protesters levitaron barricadas and lanzaron piedras a lo largo de todo el recorrido, in the first day of a week of protests that culminates February 7, when four months of the month of Moses will be completed.
At least one protestant result was reported in the capital in an incident that was not cleared up and is being prosecuted by the police.
THE OPINION ANIMA LAS PROTESTAS
In the capital, the protesters responded to the call of various parties and organizations of the opposition, between them the Political Party Pitit Dessalines, led by the candidate President Jean Charles Moise.
“People of Haiti, do not go to the house. Movilizarnos until the release of Jovenel Moise on February 7”, said Jean Charles Moise in the final of the demonstration in the Champ de Mars, ending the demonstration of Puerto Príncipe in many places Palacio Nacional.
The manifesto requires that Article 134-2 of the 1987 Constitution be respected.
Moise used the power on February 7, 2017 to complete a five-year mandate, according to which his accounts will retire from the state of the state until 2022, to what he counts with the support of the Organization of American States (OEA), States United and other countries.
However, the opposition argues that the mandate of the Moise term in February 2021 will expire and that the citation article of the Constitution precedes one of the beginning of the presidential period and has problems with the number of votes in the elections.
Considering that this article is applicable to this case because it is concerned with the 2015 elections, which were filed for fraud, and were repeated in 2016.
POLITICAL HISTORY AND LAMMADO A HUELGA
Coincidentally with the demonstrations, various aggregations of the opposition announced that an agreement would be reached for the “transition” after Moise, and that contemplate a juxtaposition of the court of Casacion (supremo) in front of the country.
The only party that did not hear from Fanmi Lavalas, the president Jean Bertrand Aristide, said that, in agreement with some media, he did not favor a Jumez asuma Poder in a possible Gobierno de transition.

The slides held on 7 February were preceded by an increase in the number of unannounced protests, while many people were advised to abandon the capital to go to other cities in the Dominican Republic, frontier with Haiti.
Asimismo, many schools have temporarily closed down the activities announced against Moise, which this week will not abandon the power of February 7 next, as demanded by the opposition, which since then intensified the protests against the Government.
The presidential term is five years old in Haiti, which means “that the mandate of Jovenel Moise will end on February 7, 2022”, the governor said in a speech on Facebook.
A NEW CONSTITUTION
In the midst of the political upheaval, Moise promotes a constitutional reform, which will take place sometime in a referendum in April next year, ahead of the presidential and legislative elections scheduled for 19 September.
The Senate reform eliminates the elimination of the Prime Minister and the cargo of Prime Minister, among other points given to conclude these days by the Consultative Committee appointed by the mandate to revise the Carta Magna.
Since July 2018, Haiti has been embroiled in a socio-political and economic crisis preceded by demonstrations, some of its violence, and repeated clashes over the president’s resignation by various sectors of civil society.
