Today, President René Préval and the Provisional Electoral Council should contact the official results of the first round. If these results are disputed by either of the candidates, then there will be court proceedings that will decide disputes involved. So we're not even in the second round and it's not tomorrow that the Haitian people will have a new President.
This election, conducted under conditions making it virtually impossible for any purpose, could not be truly democratic. How to involve independent films a "people" that has been the victim of an earthquake whose victims exceed 100 000 dead and displaced more than a million? Affliction, he was soon joined by a cholera epidemic whose victims are now calculated over 3 000 deaths and more than 60,000 affected by the disease. How in these conditions make possible the exercise of true democracy in which the people are the same substance? Regardless, some states, including the United States, it was necessary independent films at all costs and as quickly to the elections, the people to be or not.
A first round of voting was conducted last November and what we said an independent report, produced by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is to the effect that the rate of participation of all the electorate was only 22.9%, independent films and the two candidates for the second round were 6% and 4% of the votes of all of the Haitian electorate.
"Based on the number of irregularities, it is impossible to determine who should enter the second independent films round. If there is a second round, it will be based on assumptions and / or arbitrary exclusions. The report notes that the biggest independent films problems in the electoral process took place before the day of voting: the voting ban on a dozen parties independent films (including most popular party), and the "gargantuan task" to try to save hundreds of thousands of displaced people within the country, a task that was clearly a rung z ng failure.
The report's authors wonder how the OAS and CEP could validate such an election in which less than 25% of Haitians participated and, more importantly, to which 12 political parties, including the largest independent films and most popular independent films ( Fanmi Lavalas) were excluded.
"The number of votes that were not counted as having been improperly counted in this election is huge - much larger than what has been reported by the Organization of American States (OAS) or the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP ), "said Mark Weisbrot, Deputy Director of CEPR and co-author of the report," I do not see how any professional observer could legitimately validate independent films the results of this election.
That's well short portrait of a democracy that is expressed with less than 25% of the electorate or in other words with no more than 75% of the electorate. We are far from democracy as expressed during the last presidential elections in Bolivia. The participation rate was over 90% and the president, Evo Morales, won with 64.22% of the votes. As democracy is obviously more convincing. It is nevertheless continues to speak of the vote as the "popular vote", as it is called "international community" where two or three countries speak. How far can we go in participation rates so that we can speak of the popular vote and true "democracy"?
