Pour sa part, Me Farah Calixte, vice-coordonnatrice communale de Jacmel, a salué l’engagement des participant-e-s et les a encouragé-e-s à intégrer le parti afin de bénéficier de ses programmes de formation.
The departmental vice-coordinator Nixon Thélémaque said he was satisfied with the success of the 2025 edition, which allowed young people to reflect on the future of Haiti through sub-themes such as: the historical and political roots of the Haitian crisis, Haiti in the recomposition of global balances and the choice of social democracy.
Several renowned personalities took part in the discussions, most of them in distanciel, including Estelle Laure Gilles, Daniel Supplice, Michel Soukar, Pierre Josué Dahomey, Dr Paul Latortue, Laks Guivens Cadette, Dr Louis Nau Pierre, Alix Richard, Rosemond Pradel, Dr Robert Auguste and Edmonde Supplice Beauzile.
