The three-part message of the PARASOL party to a human society more livable
4 min readAfter a long silence of observation, the party Patriyòt Rasanble pou Sove Lakay (PARASOL) focuses its speech around three specific themes: the integration and enhancement of the disabled and women of the informal « madan sara » and to the protection of the environment. In the midst of a political crisis, PARASOL, through its president, Yvon Bonhomme, calls on all political and civil actors to focus on the impending dangers on the horizon, in this case: the degradation of the environment and the decapitalization of the « madan sara » accelerated by the crisis.
The party Patriyòt Rasanble pou Sove Lakay (PARASOL) does not flinch. He continues his pilgrimage towards the enhancement of the silent mass by calling for a better treatment for the « madan sara », the pure and simple integration of the disabled in the political affairs of the country and especially a new look at the spectacular degradation of environment under the eyes accomplice of all the actors of the country.
According to the president of the party, Yvon Bonhomme, who urges the president to act, the recent crisis that has hit Haiti hard affects, but significantly, these women who expose themselves to all the dangers to support at a special level the national economy. In the policy’s view, it is an aberration to pretend that the country’s economic state is essentially based on macro data. At the micro level, these marginalized are holding up in the shadows of the allied leaders who are constantly betraying their origins to feed the system of exclusion that continues to treat these courageous bosses. Over two hundred years of total eclipse, the politician says he thinks it becomes priestly that these personalities are alive in political speeches in Haiti and that they have henceforth a place of honor in the socio-political and economic life of the nation .
Yvon Bonhomme has no regrets for having supported this speech for years. According to him, the battle is perilous, but optimistic, he is convinced of the final victory especially as other actors whose head of state begins to embrace the cause. « I am proud of this and I urge the President of the Republic to anticipate his promises in order to make the farmers and the madan sara completely bankrupt of agricultural banks and a credit system accessible to all ». It also requires better treatments for these merchants during travel and public procurement. « Being the brains of the Haitian economy, it is inconceivable that they are treated as poor parents by their children ravaged by a complex of inferiority that deprives them of everything, even the honor of having spawned them », he condemns.
Further on, the politician denounces the acts of corruption that plague the public administration. According to Yvon Bonhomme, the greed of men in power largely contributes to accentuate the misery of these wretches. It calls to this effect, the head of state to reduce the lifestyle of the state and to encourage the firms of lawyers that it committed to require that the funds debited for the second residence of the unspent senior officials be returned to the public treasury. This amount, valued at more than 7 hundred million gourdes a year, could help improve the living conditions of these people. In this regard, it also requires the implementation of a commission of inquiry to identify corrupt state who constantly stealing money from the public treasury under privilege without the user for the reason that it has been disbursed.
The disabled, another concern of PARASOL
Positioning itself as a defender of the vulnerable, the PARASOL party also advocates for people with reduced mobility representing nearly two million of the Haitian population. Like the traders of the informal sector, they are among the most neglected of Haitian social categories. In the 21st century, PARASOL concludes that this era of social marginalization is over and that disabled people, like all privileged categories, must be involved in decisions concerning the future of the nation. Thus, he calls, the head of state to take the necessary measures to promote people living with a physical disability to have their representatives at the level of the Haitian parliament in the next legislature. In the opinion of Yvon Bonhomme, no one is exempt from any paralysis and, in faith of what, each one independent of the social class to which it belongs is encouraged to put the hands in the paw in order to value these people until here excluded from the decision-making spheres of the country.
The environment, a major neglected threat
While the change of system is being talked about more and more in the country, the PARASOL party is indignant at the indifference of the political actors vis-a-vis to the climate change and its consequences on the country whose physical space is very vulnerable. For the leader of the Ministry of Haitians Living Abroad (MHAVE), only Haitian politicians ignore the effects of climate that begin to sweep the world. Despite the signing of the Rio agreement in 1996 and, more recently, that of the COP 21 in Paris initialed by Haiti, Haitians in particular continue to neglect its physical space concentrating all their energies on the seizure of power. In addition to the structural crisis in the country that has given birth to the recent events in the country, the failure to take into account the Haitian physical space has a major impact on the deterioration of the country’s economic situation. This vulnerability contributes to the difficult situation of the « madan sara » decapitalised more and more but also, unfortunately, risks contributing to the imminent disappearance of this territory.
