President Preval is Doing Well
Posted by: John Rigdon
Rumors regarding President Preval's poor health - even death have been just that - rumors. In an article in the Florida Sun-Sentinel it is reported that "Préval proved the reports false when he appeared on Haitian television Sunday (Dec. 10, 2006)."
West Palm Beach businessman Yves Laurent, 48, said he heard the reports of Préval's death Sunday and brushed them off. "That's how Haiti works. You can say you're sick and they say you died, especially if you're president or have a big function in the government," he said.
The Rev. Gerard Jean-Juste, a Catholic priest released from a Haitian prison for cancer treatment in South Florida almost a year ago, said he met with Préval in June when the president visited Miami for a Haiti Tourism Development Summit. "He told me he felt OK," said Jean-Juste, an Aristide ally who now lives in Fort Lauderdale. "He encouraged me and said, `If I can make it, you'll make it too.'
"Gerard Ferere, who supported the interim government led by Boca Raton retiree Gerard Latortue, said he suspects the anxiety over Préval's health is being fanned by his opponents. "I think the whole thing is over-exaggerated," said Ferere, who also lives in Boca Raton. "I think the news of the bad or poor health of President Préval is not as bad as the politicians who want to replace him want them to sound."
