Haiti - Elections : Michel Martelly in Leogane

Thursday, in Leogane, the candidate Michel Martelly in front of a large crowd "overexcited", proved unifying, addressing several themes of its program, among others: education and reconstruction.

Education :

"All those who have ruled the country so far, were politicians, what results have they given? The misery! I am a little musician, I have no shame, I went out one side you see where I arrived. Madam [Mirlande Manigat] is a professor, look at the education level of the country [...] she has say that the level of education is not good, that it is necessary to raise the level [...] it's the program of Michel Martelly that speaks of free education [...] it is the peasants who spoke of free education [...] I did not say that people do not need diplomas, I said that we are not obliged to have a diploma to succeed, I did not have diploma, but I successful, you can not have a diploma and succeed, be a good carpenter and succeed [...] The ignorance is the thing that causes more poverty in the country, we want all children in the country have access to free education [...] after my term of five years, all children in the country will go to school for free, that's what I want [...] they say [the opposition] that this is not possible, if we ask them why ? They answer is too expensive... It's always the budget of the Presidency which was the highest, that will change. In the working sessions that we had, we identify the [funding source], for example if we tax borlette 10%, we could recover millions for education.

Reconstruction :

Bill Clinton arrived in Haiti and speaks of the reconstruction of Haiti [...] three quarters is for Port-au-Prince [...] I do not agree ! For example, if a beautiful road is made here, the problem of the watershed are not managed nor deforestation, when the rain will fall the road will be swept away ! It is a waste. If I am President, I'd rather have a nice unpaved road, I create a maintenance system that will give work and instead of investing in the road [...] I invest on the country's children [...] often we see a road that is paved, then you arrive in a village... there is no electricity, no one knows how to read or write, there is no clean water, there is misery, there is no school... For me it's a road that leads nowhere... The way I see the things, even if the road is unpaved there will be work, but when you arrive in the village, because I invested in the village, in people, you will see beautiful gardens, people who can read and write, who have water, electricity [...] At least the unpaved road will lead us to a place where there is life."
