Haiti - Case Bélizaire : For Edgard Leblanc, the interpellations are legal
Last Thursday, on the sidelines of the interpellation session, of the Minister of Justice and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Michel Brunache, the Senator Joseph Lambert had cited as an example of decisions too quickly, the interpellation of the Secretary of State while the latter was not yet invested in his functions...
In response, among other things, to this statement, Edgard Leblanc, former Senator and coordinator of the Organization of People in Struggle (OPL), which condemned the arrest of Deputy Bélizaire done, according to him outside the prescribed of the Constitution, has wished to clarify "...the Parliament, the Chamber of Deputies and the Chamber of the Senate act within their constitutional prerogative. Therefore, they do it in all legality. When the Ministers are named, they are in function, and even if the Secretary of State has not yet been installed, it is named [...] and therefore they are responsible and in charge [installed or not] if something happens in the course of their duties.
In its role of monitoring, the interpellations made by the Parliament are made in all legality and I think that's a good thing that the Parliament has reacted. The interpellation do not forget, must end with a vote [of confidence or of censure] we just want, as part of a rule of law, make uphold the law in all circumstances and this requires much more reason than emotion...
[...] The Prime Minister must come out of his silence and of his frustrations to play his role as a conductor, there is no government, everyone can see, there is a Prime Minister and a Chief of Government, they should behave as such and try to take things in hand..."
