Wow: A Negotiated Raise In Base Pay To $3.03 A Day!!

13 December - The former president and presidential candidate, René Préval, whose first public announcement has been long awaited - particularly by the media - at long last broke his silence in Jacmel on Tuesday. "I am a candidate who respects the Constitution, and President Aristide, like any other political exile, can return to the country when he wants to," he declared, amongst other things, on the occasion of his visit to Jacmel where he officially launched his campaign. The presidential candidate for the Lespwa coalition invited those who criticise his government of 1996-2001 to stick to the rule of law. Asked about the violence in Cité Soleil, Préval suggested that it was caused by exclusion, and that as long as this remains unchanged things wouldn't get better in the country's largest shanty-town. The former president denounced, without naming them, the sectors whose discourse had contributed to the violence in Cité Soleil. René Préval identified insecurity as the number one problem in the country, and promised to find a solution as soon as he takes office, "sensibly, by dialogue and by force if necessary".
