Does the Government’s Repression of Reginald Boulos Reflect a Fear of a Bourgeois Revolution?
English version of article by Fenley Cius. Politicians making easy money will refuse to give up their throne to someone who believes you’ve got to work to attain results. The arrival of a businessman-politician is a blessing for Haiti and a menace to the despoilers.
Réginald Boulos : la répression a-t-elle aussi peur d’une révolution bourgeoise?
Par Fenley Cuis. Le politicien frustré qui croit dans l’argent facile refusera de céder son trône à un homme qui croit qu’il faut travailler dur afin d’obtenir des résultats. La grande apparition de l’homme d’affaires dans l’arène politique fait peur. L’État haïtien devrait plutôt donner une plaque d’honneur à cet entrepreneur pour sa collaboration et son esprit républicain au lieu d’investir inutilement dans des campagnes de désinformation.
