Rene Preval, His First Term In Office

Info About Rene Preval As President Of Haiti From 1996 To 2001

In 1996, Rene Préval was elected as President of the Republic of Haiti, His first term.

Rene Préval became the second democratically elected head of state in the country's two-hundred-year history.

In 2001, Rene Préval became the first President of Haiti ever to leave office as a result of the natural expiration of his term.

As president Préval instituted a number of economic reforms, most notably the privatization of various government companies.

Some have suggested that these privatizations were a result of Préval bowing to the pressure exerted on him by external entities including the IMF.

Lowest Unemployent Rate since...

The unemployment rate (though still quite high) had fallen to its lowest level since the fall of Duvalier by the end of Préval's term.

This trend toward a decreasing unemployment rate continued during the subsequent tenure of Aristide until the 2004 coup.

As president, Préval was a strong supporter of investigations and trials related to human rights violations committed by military and police personnel.

Trebu Patriote's comment about "Rene Preval, His First Term In Office"

Is president Preval will be different this time?

I have a different view of President Preval accomplishment during his first presidency.

We can not forget Pastor Leroy of Professor Deronceray's political party.

We cannot forget the colonel Jean Lamy. We cannot forget the Major Louis of the Haitian Marine who was tortured with his wife in presence of the President of the Republic.

We cannot forget the lack of leadership, the irresponsible attitude toward the misery of the Haitian People.

President Preval in face of a tragedy affecting the population of La Gonave will tell them :' naje poun sňti".

In other words You are on your own;it 's not my government problem.

To summarize let's say President Preval was the one who started te crisis in which the Haitian people are deeply swimming today: the fraudulent elections of May 2000. We only hope he 's back to show us a different style of leadership.

observer keen's comment about "Rene Preval, His First Term In Office"

come on!

if someone is assassinated under one's administration, one is not necessarily responsible for the assissanation.

if a critic were to assume that, then such a critic would be a superficial thinker.

a president is not the chief of police, nor is he a presiding judge.

if he were to interfere in judicial matters, then he would be an autocrat; would not you agree?

it is very sad to read the inherent inconsistency and self-contradicted in the accusations and criticisms of the traditional elements of the pseudo-political opposition.

the last elections had proven that the traditinal politicians in haiti had had no substancial public support, and as such do not constitute legitimate political parties.

in other words, it would negate the very essence of democratic ideals if the government were to negociate politically with parties such as "le grand front centre droit".

on what logical basis that a so-called"grand front centre droit" is to remain a legitimate party after it has failed to acquire an electoral percentage of 1%.

give me a break with big names that are contextually non-significant.

WE BELIEVE IN YOU PREVAL

I appreciate the way he handled the office in his first term. He is a man with vision and understanding.

After Henry Christophe has died in 1820, Rene Preval is the very first President who thinks about rebuilding the country.

On his first term, he has built many houses for the poor all over the island, and new roads have been constructed under his administration.

This time, I would love him to keep doing the same thing he was doing on his first term:NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, AND NEW ROADS EVERYWHERE ON THE ISLAND.

We also need the President to talk to us, and tell us what he wants in order for country to be built in a decent manner.

The diaspora in USA, Canada, France, and the Haitians on the other Islands are ready to help for a better Haiti.

The President should contact all Pastors and Haitian-Priests in the diaspora in other to collect some money and rebuilt the Country.

President Preval, we love you deeply and know for sure you are going to do a good job for Haiti, for the people, and history will talk about you as the best President Haiti has ever had since 1804.

After Henry Christophe Preval is our best ever.

Oberver King, please you must change your name to something else. If you call yourself observer, this is the biggest mistake you have ever made in your life. Rene Preval has done more for Haiti than any other President since the reign of Henry Christophe until today.

Under his administration, roads have been fixed, and he has also built new homes for the poor in our nine departments.

Most people who has visited Haiti under his admistration have falled in love again with the island.

Some Presidents spent thousands of dollars in buying rice and beans for the population which is hundred percent wrong.

Rene Preval has contacted some Engineers in China, Haiti, and Japan in order to see if our land can produce enough food for the population.

This is a man with vision and understanding.

By buying food for more than six millions people is just stupid.

In less than a month, the population will be back in misery because no one can buy food for a country forever.

A President like Rene Preval understands that if he can produce his own food, the population will be better off for many years to come.

I have a good friend of mine who has visited Haiti under Preval administration, this man told me that he was driving his car on a road, forgot completly if he was in Haiti because the feeling of driving reminds him of the United States.

Unfortunately, these roads did not last because the engineers did not do a good job. It seems like they did not do a good mix with water, stone, and ciment etc. After a few months, these roads were destroyed by water.

Once again the President was not responsible for the damage, the engineers should be put in jail for doing such a terrible job.

This time, I would like President preval to sign contracts with those engineers saying that if the roads are not solid they will be responsible to refix them with no charge or they will go to jail for stealing.

An observer should recognize good stuffs, and go with the positive flow. If you are unable to identify good stuffs, you are nothing than a dangerous element.
