Talk:René Préval

message: There is a lot of good publications about René Préval capitulating to the Hillary Clinton State Department in 2009. Snopes itself, which has a liberal bend, has ruled this as being true and has stated "it's true that the State Department (then led by Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State) strongly opposed a minimum wage increase in Haiti in 2009." The original plan which passed the Haitian Parliament was for a $5/day minimum wage: this was later relaxed to $3/day for the textile industry. This information was leaked by Wikileaks. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-suppressed-haitis-minimum-wage/  Evan Carroll (talk) 23:32, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this just be at Rene Preval, not Rene Garcia Preval? As far as I know he's commonly referred to as the first. Everyking 09:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Some have suggested that these privatizations were a result of Préval bowing to the pressure exerted on him by external entities including the IMF. 
Who says this, Greg Palast?  Hugo Chavez?  The Nation?  Robert Mugabe?
:What is the problem of this statement?  Haiti was getting a loan from the IMF at the time, privatization is one of the conditions of IMF loans.  Perhaps it needs to be rephrased to prevent it from sounding like this is a bad thing, but beyond that I don't see a problem with the statement.  --MateoP 15:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: You are referring to Poppa Doc, right?  Yeah, he was elected, but by '63 he had completely consolidated power amongst himself.  --MateoP 02:48, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article is saying he's president already, but surely he hasn't been sworn in yet? Everyking 08:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: President?

message: If it is true that he left with his family in 1963, then the Belgian Congo was already not the Belgian Congo anymore, but the Republic of Congo {Leopoldville). Maybe that needs to be updated. Themalau 23:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
