According to the publication, the Haitian government summoned the French ambassador to the country to protest Macron’s “unfriendly and inappropriate” comments.
In particular, on Wednesday, the French president commented on the situation of this Caribbean country as follows. He called the decision of the transitional presidential council of Haiti to remove the prime minister – “absolutely stupid”. This decision was made at the beginning of November against the background of the escalation of gang clashes.
“To be honest, it was the Haitians who killed Haiti by allowing the drug trade,” Macron said.
After these words in Brazil, the French president praised the former Prime Minister of Haiti, Harry Conil, who was removed from power due to disagreements with the council. Macron called him a great leader.
“They are complete idiots, they should not have released him,” the French leader said.
As a result, Macron’s remarks caused outrage in Haiti (a former French colony). However, on Thursday, in Chile, the president, considering everything, softened his tone.
France will never turn away from the crisis… There will never be double standards in the face of tragedy, whether in Haiti or Venezuela or at the gates of Europe,
The publication explained that Haiti’s leadership is torn by internal strife, and three members of the transitional presidential council tasked with restoring security and preparing the ground for elections are accused of corruption. They remain at their posts.
The Guardian also added that France has pledged 4 million euros to the UN fund to finance a badly needed security mission to help restore security in Haiti, as well as finance French and Creole language courses for its troops.
Additionally, the Haitian Foreign Ministry said that at the meeting, French Ambassador Antoine Michon pledged that France would remain on Haiti’s side to help restore security and hold elections.
