HAITI - A country eager to be led

Hippolyte Mirlande Manigat returned to the ranks of the University Quisqueya since March 21. His colleagues and students took pleasure in return. Before the elections, had announced a constitutional colors: it wants to remain the same teacher if she is elected to the first magistracy of the State. Michel Martelly [pop singer] has a piano and keyboards galore home.

A recording studio and longtime fans, converted into political support, marching all day long, within its walls, to meet him. Throughout the campaign, the candidate remained the artist he always was. While the results are slow in coming, let us not fear for the future of the two main protagonists in the presidential race.

They will be boxes in areas that delight, education or the musical entertainment, whether voters or the results do not haul them to the helm of affairs. The nightmare of defeat haunts especially zealous and committed investors who bet big on the victory of their crew. Cold sweats, anxiety, waiting murders, are in the camp of those who hope to be in not the next head of state.

To do good, spread new ideas, make money or serve the country. Both candidates have around them as occasional allies, no political parties organized, structured movement or strong platform, it will be easy to make the distribution of the spoils of victory if their smiles. Distribute chiefdoms, reorganize monopolies, satisfy the appetites of their fans will be among the first tasks that will occupy their thoughts.

In all honor, this inevitable equalization solidify loyalties will be detrimental habits acquired here and there, shakes customs of those who thought they were settled for ever in their position, their action. Spoils of war taken in the country, rest of the warrior, there are some who do not sleep at night thinking about the table filled with the state.

They will quickly become disillusioned. It will primarily create new wealth if the winners of tomorrow will not raise too quickly the anger of the defeated yesterday and disappoint the expectations of those hoping immense new power of a better go. The balance of sharing is a subtle art in a poor country with a weak civil service and an underdeveloped economy.

No, there is no inevitability that the other name change is often continuity. And yet, say in 2011, in Haiti, it can not continue as before is not wishful thinking. Only a promise date for too long. How will the teacher or to Mrs. Mr. Singer? The winner of the election of March 20 will not have six months to convince of his ability.

Will he join the future or future imperfect?
