The new Government of Haiti, led by businessman Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, officially took office amidst a critical situation caused by the violence of armed gangs in the country. Fils-Aimé highlighted the urgency of the situation and the need to act without delay to save the country's transition. He referred to the severity of the violent actions of the gangs, which have increased their aggressiveness, attacking the population and destroying property.
The country is in a near-total paralysis of its economic and social life, at a crucial moment for its democratic and political existence, with important events such as a constitutional referendum and upcoming elections on the calendar. The new Government takes the reins in a context marked by violence, exacerbated by threats from a gang leader who promised days of terror in the capital.
In his remarks during the inauguration ceremony, Fils-Aimé emphasized the need to prepare the ground for inclusive and transparent elections, focusing on restoring hope to the Haitian people. The new Cabinet is composed of ministers who retain their previous positions and others who join in, with the mission of tackling the country’s challenges decisively and effectively.
The Prime Minister urged the ministers to comprehend the magnitude of their responsibilities and to work together to address the country's issues in a sustainable manner. The Government's roadmap focuses on reestablishing security, attending to the humanitarian emergency, revitalizing the economy, and preparing for elections. The President of the Transitional Presidential Council, Leslie Voltaire, reminded the new ministers of the importance of the tasks and responsibilities that await them during this critical period for Haiti.
