After
installing a new government led by Prime Minister Enex Jean-Charles, Haiti’s
interim president Jocelerme Privert has now passed a second hurdle: setting up
another Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) on Mar. 30, 2016. This is the sixth
CEP formed in the past four years.
The new CEP has as its president Léopold Berlanger, formally the
representative of the National Association of Haitian Media (ANMH) and the
Association of Haiti’s Independent Media (AMIH). Berlanger is also the informal
representative of Haiti’s bourgeoisie and the so-called “Core Group,” the
ambassadors who follow U.S. leadership in Haiti.
The CEP’s vice-president is lawyer Carlos Hercule, who represents the
Catholic Church of Cardinal Chibly Langlois and Bishop Patrice Aris.
