RESERVE, ROODY. Haiti: When the Past Becomes too Heavy. Rev. cienc. polít. (Santiago) [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.1, pp.225-245. ISSN 0718-090X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-090X2013000100011.

Constant frictions between the President and the Opposition, repetitive political scandals, frequent changes in the Cabinet, a mediocre economic growth and continuous launch of new Social Programs have marked the year of 2012 in Haiti. A good example of the political problems that the country faced during 2012 is the incapacity of the president to form the Electoral Council that has to organize midterm elections for the replacement of senators whose mandate has ended in 2012.

Keywords : Electoral Council; Opposition; President; Economy; Social Problems.
