The Haitian ambassador to Spain mentioned on October 12, 2026, during the Spanish national celebrations, the need for Haiti to see an "honorable and respectable" leader accede to the presidency in 2027. This stance was interpreted as interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.
According to Rezo Nòdwès, Article 41 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of April 18, 1961 requires diplomatic agents to respect the laws and customs of the receiving state. This implies that an ambassador should not meddle in the election of a foreign head of state.
The historical context recalls that former president Michel Martelly benefited from official receptions in Spain despite controversies surrounding his political career. This situation raises the question of diplomatic and institutional consistency between states in their bilateral relations.
The Haitian government, according to Haiti24, should intervene firmly to reiterate that the choice of leaders belongs to Haitians. Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé is encouraged to preserve his stature and avoid overexposure in diplomatic relations.
