In union there is strength, this is our motto. With the fork of division one cannot drink the soup of elections; with the fork of division, one cannot drink the soup of democracy. In a way, the "lavalas" strategy is akin to the thoughts of the Pope, who, in his "Centesimus Annus" encyclical, suggested that events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union were paving the way for the reaffirmation of the "positive character of an authentic theology of the total liberation of Ban". In Haiti, this theological approach cannot be confined to a simple analysis of reality; it is meant to be, rather, a method of thought and action in the school of the poor, a privileged elite of the revelation of God, the historical subject of this struggle for the total liberation of man.
