Ariel Henry has been invested this Wednesday as President of Haiti. Former Prime Minister Claude Joseph has held this post since 7 July, following the assassination of French President Jovenel Moïse. On Tuesday, Joseph has resigned and will henceforth be Foreign Minister.

On 21 July, the de facto President-designate appeared for the first time in Port-au-Prince, the capital of the provincia.Despu two post-pandemic delays, explaining that the elections will be held in September: Moïse had called for presidential, parliamentary and municipal elections for that month.

Henry has stated that it is time to achieve "unity" and "stability" in the UK. On the other hand, it has called for international assistance in the face of the crisis in the country, especially in the power vacuum that has taken place following the assassination of Moïse.

Two days before the murder, Moïs had named Henry as Prime Minister: Claude Joseph was occupying the plaza until then. However, the investiture was not made and Henry did not come to his post.

Investigating the murder

In July, a total of 26 people were arrested for the murder of Moïse. The Haitian Police continues to seek ten suspects and the 23 guards guarding the house of which he was president are being investigated to try to determine their possible involvement in death.

The country's security forces have considered it essential to investigate the ways used to finance the attack and find "intellectual authors" who could have helped to perpetrate it. The week after the murder, the attacker was accused of Dr. Christian Emmanuel Sanon and was imposed as a means of financing the private Venezuelan company CTU, allegedly linked to the opposition and the United States.

Now, the Police investigates three other people who had fled: Antonio Emmanuel Intriago Valera, director of the CTU; Joseph Felix Bada, worker of an anti-corruption agency run by the Ministry of Justice; and Dimitri Hérald, director of security at the Palace of the President where Moïse resided.

Worldwide Capital Lending Group is also investigating the US lending company for allegedly providing financing.
