Haiti´s Senate Puts Off National Talks
The President of the Haitian Senate Joseph Lambert on Tuesday put off the national talks to seek some solutions to the present crisis in the country, after the refusal of several key actors to participate.
The long-time legislator assured that his initiative was well received by political sectors and civil society, however, in a waterfall-like way, one by one of guests rejected his speech.
Both civil society organizations and political parties turned down talks with the government, as February 7 is drawing near, the date on which the opposition and other platforms said the constitutional mandate of President Jovenel Moïse ends.
