Following the statements of Guy Philippe, the former military leader of the anti-Aristide uprising in 2003-2004 and Senate candidate in 2015 for the Grand'Anse (admitted to the second round), under the banner of the National Consortium of political parties Haitian (CNPPH), who had called Sunday to revolt against the anarchists of the Republic of Port-au-Prince who want to set up a transitional government https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-16415-haiti-flash-guy-philippe-ready-for-armed-struggle-against-the-anarchists.html ; Me Samuel Madistin, the Spokesman of the G8 has reacted strongly Monday morning, to these statements on a radio station in the capital. Rejecting statements by Guy Philippe he declared "[...] I think that Haiti is the only country in the world where a drug dealer can also speak loudly [...] or could be a candidate to the Senate of the Republic [...]"

In response to this accusation, Guy Philippe, who maintains his statements informed "to get the power you have to go through elections," doubting of the lawyer skills of Me Madistin, astonishing that a lawyer could bring charges against him in the absence of judgment.
