"ONE PERSON CAN NOT SAVE THE COUNTRY"
(Haiti Libre) -

Following his ratification in the Senate, Laurent Lamothe, the Prime Minister-designate, said that if he became Prime Minister of Haiti, he did not want people to think that he would do miracles...

"[...] I do not want people to think that I will do miracles [as prime minister], because I'm going to work. I can promise you that when I'll get up in the morning, I will put my body to work, step by step, so that the professional management of public affairs is established, so that the country's interests are defended, so that corruption is fought, that the social protection programs are respected and applied, that the renovation programs of popular neighborhoods begins, and that the reconstruction of our country begins.

[...] One person can not save the country.... If he has the dynamism or not, one person can not do the job, because Laurent Lamothe as Prime Minister, enters into a system. It is necessary that the system sits; We have children in the street, we have mothers who suffer, we have to put their interests first, and try to put the State at the service of the people for once.

Let us try to change that, try to put ourselves around a table and that the system works in favor of those who need it most, for those who have the least. We must try to put a credit system in place so that young people, when they need to start a small business, their dreams become a reality; putting these values ​​forward.

That's why I think it's important today. There is a National awareness [...] We must sit together, to think. There are brains in the country, there are people who have all the good faith to advance the country. I consider that I'll be an collaborator of all this good faith ,and the people who think that this can not be done, we will also listen to them, we will hear their views. But we will continue to believe that there is no reason on Earth, [...] for Haiti is always the last in all indicators,... there is no reason that Haiti can not get out of this misery.

There must be a group of people who will join together and say 'NO, we can do better' and I consider that I'll put myself at the service of the country with a team and with all other forces. We will have meetings to get a global agreement with all the forces of the country, so that we stop tearing us apart... Take all that energy, put it in the service of the peasants, youth, women, so that together we can build a nation. A Nation where tomorrow our children will be proud of the work we do today, because the decisions we take today have to do with future generations, and it is important, it is essential, it is vital, that the decisions that are taken today, are the pro-Haiti decisions, that put forward Haiti and defend the interests of the Haitian people..."
