Port-au-Prince, Feb 7 (efe-epa).- The president of Haiti said Sunday that a coup attempt against him had been foiled, as the opposition called for him to step down.
Jovenel Moïse, who insists his term ends next year, said that a judge of the Court of Cassation (Supreme Court) and about 20 people allegedly conspired to replace him.
“I thank my head of security at the palace. The goal of these people was to make an attempt on my life. That plan was aborted,” the leader said before flying from the capital to Jacmel to take part in the Carnival.
