The Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs in a message expressed concern about the escalation of violence in the country, and urges a sincere dialogue to return to constitutional order.

"France is particularly concerned about the escalation of violence in Haiti and strongly condemns the attacks on people, road blockages and looting committed in recent days in Port-au-Prince and throughout the country.

France urges all Haitian political actors to find, through sincere dialogue, an agreement to establish a consensus on the organization of democratic elections to return to constitutional order.

France wishes to reaffirm its solidarity with the Haitian people, victims of the alarming deterioration of the humanitarian, political and security context in the country. It continues to work to mobilize the international community to provide Haitians with all the necessary assistance."
