Washington,
D.C. The Secretary General of the Organization of American States
(OAS), Luis Almagro, takes note with great concern that the Haitian
National Assembly has failed to pronounce itself within the delays set
forth by the February 5th
Agreement on the extension or not of the mandate of the interim
President or, as the case may be, on other measures to insure
institutional continuity. He consequently urges Parliamentarians, in
their capacity of elected representatives of the People, to fully assume
their responsibilities by meeting in National Assembly to decide on how
to best guarantee institutional stability and the continuation of the
elections process.
As evidenced by the just concluded OAS General Assembly, the
continuation of elections in Haiti in a stable and calm atmosphere is a
priority for our hemispheric organization. "It is long past time for
Haitian political stakeholders to prioritize the interests of the Nation
in order for the aspirations of the People to finally be heard and for
the country to be in a position to tackle the great socio-economic
challenges it faces." the Secretary General emphasized.
