Accompanied by members of his government, including the Minister of Culture and Communication, Emmanuel Médard, the Prime Minister honored the memory of a giant whose legacy continues to illuminate the national consciousness. In a solemn gesture, he laid a wreath at the foot of the monument dedicated to Toussaint Louverture in the Champs de Mars and rekindled the eternal flame, a living symbol of the nation’s historical continuity.

In his address, the Prime Minister recalled that the National Museum of Haitian Art (MUPANAH) constitutes “a crossroads of national consciousness, a foundation of memory where the continuity of our destiny is perpetuated.” He emphasized that this day transcends mere commemoration to embody an act of fidelity and responsibility toward history: “It is not simply a matter of honoring, but of renewing a vow.”
Framing his remarks with a resolutely forward-looking perspective, the Head of Government reaffirmed the State’s commitment to restoring republican authority and guaranteeing a climate of security conducive to the organization of credible, inclusive, and democratic general elections throughout the national territory.
Paying tribute to the political and moral genius of Toussaint Louverture, he declared: “We are not merely saluting a governor and a strategist; we are bowing before a certain ideal of dignity.” He also made a strong appeal to Haitian youth, urging them to embrace this heritage and use it as a catalyst for national renewal.
Concluding his remarks with fervor, the Prime Minister proclaimed: “Long live MUPANAH! Long live Toussaint Louverture! Long live Haiti!”
