The Office of Secretary of State for Communication Frantz Exantus unreservedly condemns "the disparaging and discriminatory remarks" recently made by Reginald Boulos, leader of the Third Way Movement (MTVAYITI) on the airs of the Voice of America at the place of the Prime Minister ai Claude Joseph.

Secretary of State Exantus urges Mr. Boulos "to pull himself together and shy away from this hateful, outdated speech out of step with the current global reality which constitutes a gruesome return to bygone days."

The Bureau takes the opportunity to remind public opinion in general and Mr. Réginald Boulos in particular, that Claude Joseph, like many Haitians of the middle class, made many sacrifices to obtain a master's degree and a doctorate before being able to teach in the United States at the highest level and also to serve his country at a time when political actors, "who should show tolerance, patriotism and a sense of dialogue, unfortunately contribute to tarnish the image of Haiti by their retrograde practices and their false speeches among others."
