is calling for a comprehensive roadmap to restore security and organize elections in Haiti"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The party thinks that just having an election schedule won\u2019t be enough and is asking for a detailed plan that includes the return of security, the revival of institutions, and the election process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The Alternative to Transform Haiti party has called on the transitional authorities to release an overall, coherent, and realistic timetable of actions aimed at restoring security and returning to democratic legitimacy in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In a situation report published on June 25, the political party explains that this request comes in a context marked by the ongoing deterioration of the national situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">ATHA specifically points to the worsening insecurity, the absence of national elections for nearly a decade, the deployment of the Multinational Mission to Support Security, and the growing concerns of the population about the country&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">According to the party, simply publishing an electoral calendar will not be enough to address the challenges Haiti is facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For its leaders, the security crisis remains the main obstacle to organizing free, inclusive, credible, and transparent elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">ATHA is therefore advocating for a more complete roadmap that includes the different steps needed to progressively restore public order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The party believes that this document should specify the planned actions to restore security across the entire territory, ensure the normal functioning of public institutions, facilitate the return of people displaced by violence, and prepare the different phases of the electoral process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In its note, the political party emphasizes that creating minimal security conditions is an essential requirement before holding the vote.According to her, restoring state authority should come before organizing elections to ensure that all citizens can participate under satisfactory conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">ATHA also warns about the risks of adopting an election schedule that isn\u2019t accompanied by a credible plan to restore security.The party believes that such an approach could help prolong the political transition and worsen the institutional crisis the country is going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The document is signed by ATHA&#8217;s national coordinator, Jean David Genest\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, the political group reaffirms that only elections held under sufficiently secure conditions will allow Haiti to regain lasting institutional stability and start a genuine national reconstruction process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Through this statement, ATHA joins several civil society organizations and political actors who believe that restoring security remains the key condition for a successful electoral process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The party thinks that just having an election schedule won\u2019t be enough and is asking for a
