The Haitian government summoned the French ambassador for consultations on Friday after President Macron’s hostile comments. Macron was caught on camera blaming Haitian leaders for the country’s destruction.
During a visit to Brazil for the G20 summit, Macron criticized the decision to remove the Haitian Prime Minister as “completely stupid”. He referred to the Haitian leaders as “imbeciles” and questioned their actions.
Following Macron’s comments, the situation escalated as the Haitian leadership faced internal disputes and corruption allegations. The French president’s remarks caused tension between the two countries, leading to diplomatic measures being taken.
Macron later softened his tone and reassured that France would not turn a blind eye to the crisis in Haiti. The international community, including the UN, has been involved in efforts to stabilize the country and address the ongoing violence.
