Tuesday during the violent demonstration against the Government and the budget https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22098-haiti-flash-violent-protest-against-the-budget-and-the-head-of-state.html two vehicles were burnt in front of the Private Firm of the Minister of Justice Me Aviol Fleurant.

In a note issued yesterday at the end of the day, Minister Fleurant, who sees an attempt to burn his Firm and an act directed against his person rather than vandalism, explains :

"If serving his country makes the citizen a martyr, it is because the Republic is worth much for this servant hooked to the objective of seeing his people emerge from fear and misery.

I am Christian. As such, I forgive the "innocent", manipulated and guided towards my professional mansion, my Firm, to show me their hatred of the human and social virtues. My sympathies to the owners of the burned vehicles ! My sympathies to the victims of this day of terror !

I am of the middle class. Grandson of a peasant. I have in the field of education and solid university studies, built my name and my reputation that more than one have tried to tarnish by envy and bitterness. The truth has rather kept me in my values.

I demand, on the other hand, that Justice should act with the utmost rigor against the enemies of the Republic and those of the Haitian people [...]"
