According to Paul Gustave Magloire, now we must "change the future", continue to fight social injustice, while reserving an important place in international relations, choosing its allies, refocus a new development planning, environmental protection, take into account the immediate risks and disasters at all levels and provide acute and continuing attention to the issue of human rights.

Paul Gustave Magloire wants the practice crash and abandonment of the nation are more rules of governance.

He suggested alternatives to boost further the relations between power and youth by encouraging their sense of service and facilitate their effective participation towards a diplomacy for the development and protection of the nation.

Paul Gustave Magloire will miss any opportunity to speak and care for Haitian affairs that prioritizes constantly when he is invited to specialized forums in Europe and America.

It will be a keynote speaker at the Conference on Citizenship to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in July 2010.
These days Paul Gustave Magloire summarizes his political thought in five points: the first is the general context of the Haitian crisis (economic, social, educational, food and national security), the second door on the profile of major reforms to achieve to rebalance his country and the third is the emergency diagnosis and fourth, an investment plan in the short, medium and long term strategies and funding and support to put in place in the fifth and Finally, relations with the outside world and with the other expensive part of Haiti, the Diaspora.

Presenting detail by detail what he has done, he wanted, he said "offer opportunities for development in line with the potential of the country Haiti, through municipal development plans flexible recognizes plural context both social, economic, political, cultural, national and global commitments in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

"In fact, he emphasizes the urgency:
modernize the Haitian city of decentralization
improve the quality of life of the poorest
ensure accelerated development but harmonious
to adapt the developing world interdependencies
to affirm the role of each region of the country as centers of attraction in the area of basic services, ecology, tourism, agriculture, health, and education with a minimum mandatory all.
Mr. Magloire insists on issues of rural exodus, mass emigration to stop by massive job vacancies in municipalities in various fields, including computer: "Translate this vision objectively, validly exploit the productive vocation the country, is the rationale for this governance plan that I suggested to the leaders of my country.

It is incumbent upon all Haitians overseas and those in the interior part of this new integral vision of the future of our country! We must draw together an overview of relations between Haitians of all backgrounds and all boundaries to better support the development of the homeland.

"

EFFORTS OF CO-DEVELOPMENT
In terms of decentralization, Magloire said that efforts of Co-development with many parts of the world have been undertaken with more than sixty Haitian town twinning, however, says it "we discovered when we were Minister of the Interior that the regulatory and policy framework was lacking, because the whole twinning identified, only about 15% had been established under an agreement signed and in most cases the areas of cooperation were insufficiently specified.

Moreover, it lacked communities a clear technical direction of decentralized cooperation and co-development.

If local officials interested in these strategies, they did not know precisely what they wanted with their partner for municipalities and territories.

We have initiated the necessary corrective action and will require, at minimum, continue in this effort! ".

Paul Gustave Magloire took the opportunity to develop a series of proposals to succeed in establishing an appropriate legal framework for relationship management of decentralized cooperation and find a national policy of co-development.

It also suggests " establishing an information network and support communities in decentralized cooperation while stressing the priority of a survey of experiences of cooperation in terms of lessons learned for sharing and improving joint to provide increased productive capacity in Haiti.

"
As for politics, he wants to take a forward-thinking: "Listen, we should in the end responsible to protect the population in the framework of respect for our national sovereignty and the prospect of global human security, based on the social justice and human rights in their entirety.

To properly support the social movement organizations and the Haitian public institutions, we will focus on dialogue and consensus on priorities and strategies for development and cooperation, both in Haiti qu'al'étranger.

We will have to get involved all over a long period, in large programs of reconstruction, rehabilitation and development, focusing on supporting measures that advance the rehabilitation of conditions of dignity of the majority poor, urban and rural areas.

And this, surely, by continuing to strengthen the justice system against impunity.

"
According to Paul Gustave Magloire this will require leadership by engaging in useful time in supporting the transformation of education for all and convince all Haitians to participate: "As a civilian contribution to the fight against poverty and for peace, we encourage our countrymen to take actions bold and innovative.

Our support for reviving the economy, focusing on the needs of Haitians, accentuate the special attention that we are already giving to the sector of social economy.

Drawing on lessons learned from past actions, we want Haitians to get involved in more meaningful and enduring development and local environment.

"Hoeven says he" We must also encourage Haitians Overseas to remain in the wake of motions of support to the Haitian people continue and intensify acts of solidarity remaining performers and supporters of Haiti before the international public opinion.

We are determined to rebuild our sovereignty and make the huge effort to let the statute, also challenged, bankrupts countries and become a country full and dignified "
Finally Paul Gustave Magloire seeking political support in the international project to fight against poverty, against impunity and the restoration of a nimble and safe environment: "We advocate supporters who contribute significantly to ensure the Education for All, which reinforce the social movement organizations and help to rebuild and reform the public institutions on a democratic and fair. This means, for me, also act in favor of new macroeconomic policies that also take into account people's basic needs and advocate against nations, including the most powerful, in favor of fairer economic practices that do not trample the dignity of our people! For living in injustice is to live in indignity and it creates instability.

"
Upon leaving, Mr. Magloire told a reporter: "I do believe in Haiti, but I believe more in the future of my country and in my people.

The day will come, believe me, we will turn from poverty to prosperity! This is my quest.

We will build new citadels "(I think in Haiti, but I believe more in the future of my country and my people.

The day will come and you can believe me, we will curve from poverty to prosperity! C ' is the path I pursue.

We will build more strongholds)
