"I have abstained from voting on Resolutionregarding Haiti because I believe it is urgent for civilian professionals such as doctors, architects and fire-fighters to be sent to the region instead of troops. Haiti will only be able to achieve the political, economic and social stability it needs if its country’s freedom is protected from foreign interference. Financial institutions such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and Haiti’s social partners should cancel Haiti's foreign debt immediately.
Furthermore, I support the measures adopted by the countries of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (financial aid through the Humanitarian Fund, energy support and promotion of farming and production initiatives) which are proof of the brotherly solidarity that exists between the different countries. By abstaining, I have tried to highlight that the reconstruction of Haiti cannot be undertaken through the militarisation of aid but rather by putting an end to the mechanisms that have caused the underlying poverty in Haiti, such as external debt, which I am requesting be cancelled."@en1
