May 1st : Remarks by Martine Moïse

"The current situation in the country is serious. Despite everything, the areas where President Jovenel Moïse invested in agricultural production are thriving. We salute the clear commitment of these men and women who continue to produce despite paltry resources. We strongly hope that these actions will be replicated across the country to meet everyone's food needs and reduce our dependence. As President Jovenel Moïse said, with the sun, the people, the land, and the water in Haiti, we can makes miracles. Years later, the Marion Dam represents a concrete example of this vision. Our country is rich in potential that the oligarchs are sabotaging. Together, we can overcome this major obstacle to our economic development and political stability. Haiti, Happy Agriculture and Labor Day !" Martine Moïse, former First Lady of Haiti.
