Pétion-Ville, August 8, 2025 —
Hostile chants such as "Aba Moïse! Moïse Jean-Charles vòlè!" resounded through the Bellevue Hall, transforming this moment of reflection into a scene of rejection. This was an unexpected demonstration against a figure long perceived as a key figure in Haitian politics, and even a potential presidential candidate in the last elections.
The scene unfolded before the astonished eyes of the participants, who had come to pay their respects to the deceased. No physical incidents were reported, but the shouting and tense atmosphere were enough to create a palpable unease, revealing a growing disavowal.
Long perceived as one of the leading voices of the opposition, Moïse Jean-Charles is going through a difficult period. His rhetoric, deemed increasingly disconnected from reality, his controversial positions, and suspicions of compromise have contributed to weakening his image even within his activist base.
