The lawyer-journalist Guyto Mathieu, CEO of Radio Préférence FM in Petit-Goâve and HaitiLibre correspondent for 8 years is once again, threatened with death by the Mayor of Petit-Goâve, Limongy Jean Samson, who reproaches him this time, to receive people who criticize the Town Hall of Petit-Goâve. Recall that previous threat dates back to June 17, 2019 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28017-haiti-petit-goave-journalist-guyto-mathieu-death-threat-by-mayor-limongy.html

Mayor Limongy considers as a persecution the fact that a station of Radio diffuses criticisms on the mismanagement of the Municipality or allows citizens of the city to denounce the excesses of the Mayor...

"If Mr. Mathieu continues to persecute me, either I will kill myself, or I will eliminate him..." said the Mayor on the phone to a relative of our correspondent.

This threat is to be taken seriously from a Mayor whose "reputation" is well established https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26071-haiti-petit-goave-mayor-limongy-a-danger-for-the-city.html , occurs after Radio Préférence gave the floor to two citizens of the city : the activist Acao Rilnor and the former mayoral candidate, Félix Salomon Jeune https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-29053-icihaiti-petit-goave-mayor-limongy-aids-protesters-but-not-flood-victims.html

Remember that Radio Préférence has always advocated the balance, objectivity and democratization of speech on its antenna.
