In a snub of Dominican leader, Haiti lawmakers say ‘not in our name'
PORT-AU-PRINCE.- Haitian deputies oppose that area governments ask for economic aid in the name of Haiti in international arenas, arguing that the solution to their internal problems rests on that nation's inhabitants.
The congressmen grouped in the 52-member Progressive Parliamentary Confederation (CPP), with 10 political organizations, said they are willing to receive all types of aid "bunt don't agree that any country requests it in Haiti's name."
The Haitian lawmakers spoke to Dominican journalists who asked them to comment on president Leonel did Fernandez's call in the last meeting of the FAO, held in Rome, for the international community to send aid to Haiti.
"Haiti would be willing to receive aid, but not that a government from another country, is going to ask in the name of Haiti," they said, stressing that the future of their nation and on each Haitian in particular depends on its inhabitants.
