OAS Insider Reveals Details of Illegal Foreign Intervention Against Haitian Democracy | Global Research

In 2010, a secret “core group” of foreign dignitaries sought to force
the president of Haiti out of office in a coup. They also engineered an
intervention in Haiti’s presidential elections that year that ensured
that the governing party’s candidate would not proceed to a runoff.
These are the revelations being made by the Organization of American
States’ (OAS) Special Representative to Haiti at the time, Ricardo
Seitenfus. In an exclusive interview published by Dissent Magazine,
Seitenfus – who was present at some of these meetings – describes these
and other bombshells detailed in his new book being published in his
native Brazil, titled International Crossroads and Failures in Haiti.

In the written interview with
Dan Beeton of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) and
journalist Georgianne Nienaber, Seitenfus provides new details regarding
threats against then-president of Haiti René Préval. Seitenfus also
corroborates the conclusions of CEPR’s earlier analysis of
an OAS “Expert” Mission sent to verify the election: that the OAS
overturned the results of the first round in a political intervention.
The OAS took this unprecedented step without so much as a recount or
calling for a new election, something that had never been done before by
an international body. This was a “white coup and a blatant electoral
intervention,” Seitenfus says.
