Aristide created, inside the public administration, forces that were faithful to him. So Preval was accused of being weak. … I think he was fearful of Aristide.

Maybe he does want to rehabilitate himself, but he does not speak, so we do not know.

People fear that if he cannot free himself from the Aristide base, he might become a prisoner of the very violent methods of that base.

It was a sterile presidency.
