In a note, the Senate via its communications office says it is deeply concerned about the economic and social situation of the country and "vehemently condemns" the decision of the Executive to increase the price of fuel at the pump https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-35425-haiti-flash-fuel-prices-will-explode-at-the-pump-official.html "without worrying about the negative impact of such a measure on the daily life of the most underprivileged segments of the population."

The Senate recalls that fuel being a transversal product "its increase will only worsen the misery of the population which is struggling to make ends meet".

"The Senate of the Republic, co-depositary of national sovereignty, urges the competent authorities to take all judicious measures to restore this critical situation so that peace returns to hearts and minds."
