The last five - six presidents of Haiti have failed miserably. And I don't think it would be an honor for me to say I want to be the next 'president.' I want to be the man by with whom change arrives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I plan to be a part of Haiti's reconstruction and future.
I've wept for Haiti a thousand times over the years since my first trip during the Duvalier reign.
My dear citizens, fellow citizens, French people, this 6th of May, have just chosen change by bringing me the presidency of the French republic. I feel the honor, which has been given to me and the task, the important task faced beyond - in front of you to serve my country.
Dear friends of Haiti, we are indeed on the right track. Slowly but surely we are rising from the ashes.
I wanted to contribute my time, myself, my knowledge, my love, because Haiti is my everything.
I want to see Haiti do better. We have the sun everywhere: that's a big asset. We have wonderful coasts, beautiful islands, mountains. Other countries that have that are known for it, but Haiti has been so focused inwards, on its problems.
It is the destiny of the people of Haiti to suffer.
Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.
It's very, very humbling, and I couldn't be more honored to have the opportunity to run with, and serve with, the next president of the United States.
Haiti has changed a lot.
