Parliamentary Life/Chérestal's Resignation

Rice or Street  Scandal
(Scandale de Riz ou de Rue)

Translated by Max Blanchet


Thank you to Max for taking time out of his busy schedule to translate this
for us. He has long been a champion of representative democracy and clean
government in Haiti. Whether the facts check out or not, this is a wonderful
example of a free and independent press at work in Haiti doing serious
investigative reporting without fear of reprisal. It is also a wonderful
example of democracy in action when Deputy Marcellus can openly attack his
colleagues and accuse them of corruption.

Bravo, Max!! Bravo, LE NOUVELLISTE!! Bravo, Deputy Marcellus!!
