Reacting to the death of former President Jean-Claude Duvalier https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-12203-haiti-flash-former-president-jean-claude-duvalier-died-update-2.html the famous writer, novelist, screenwriter Haitian, Gary Victor, wrote :

"The truth at home is that there is a fascination for the evil, the fall, the mud, the darkness, the cult of unhealthy power. It's not for nothing that there is fighting at home to sit on a rotten branch. One has only to see the behavior of most of us as soon as we are in positions of power. We become paranoid, nasty, violent ready for anything to hold on to this position and then those who gravitate around us lick our ass claiming that we are the best, that everyone loves us and that those who are against us deserve death. And everyone dreams of that position of power.

Duvalier, the other before and those after like Aristide was an orgasm of our sick society and without memory. We are always ready to glorify evil in all its ugliness and already the simple fact to discuss possible national or official funeral for Jean Claude Duvalier proves that in our fall we are not far from the bottom.

The tragedy is that in a few weeks all this macabre comedy will be forgotten and that we will be walking the streets, to plot with American in a cozy living room to propel another zero, another mental patient in the chair.
