Haiti has challenged President and has no parliament. Five years after the earthquake that left 300,000 dead, which the Head of State Michel Martelly paid tribute Monday, the country is mired in crisis.
A political agreement for the holding of elections before the end of this year was signed Sunday. And a vote last minute would have allowed Parliament to remain in office, but for lack of quorum the "curtain fell on the parliament," stressed the Haitian press.
The opposition criticizes the president. "He has not been able to organize credible elections. He has been in power for over three and a half years. Today, Parliament is dissolved by the fault of the head of state. The head of state has lost its reason for being, "said André Michel, a lawyer and opposition figure.
Haitian President assured that he would not govern by decree and pointed out that the only order that it could take concerns the organization of elections. A position that should not be sufficient to critics who claimed Michel Martelly Saturday at Port-au-Prince resigned.
