That figure is simply a lie. Participants in the pro-Aristide demo
guessed their numbers at 500 to 800 Lavalas supporters, while the
anti-Aristide demonstration numbered from 100 to 150 participants. I
cannot but echo the sentiment that it is scandalous to spent so much
money chartering planes, renting fancy hotels and paying the expenses of
traveling Lavalas party members with government funds, when there is no
money to buy syringes for the public hospital in P-au-P. More foreign
loans for Haiti mean more money for the government to waste.
