Puerto Príncipe.- El presidente de Haití, René Preval, anunció ayer que la capital del país, Puerto Príncipe, será trasladada a otro lugar, que deberá ser determinado por los especialistas y donde no sea afectada por futuros terremotos.

“Le tocará a los especialistas definirlo, pero vamos a construir la capital en otro lado, donde no sea afectada por futuros terremotos”, confirmó el mandatario.

Francia reconstruirá Palacio
Pese a que la capital se mudará, Francia informó que se encargará de la reconstruccuión del Palacio Nacional.

De acuerdo al mandatario unos 400 mil haitianos comenzarán a ser trasladados hacia un inmenso campamento al norte de Puerto Príncipe, tan pronto las tropas de la Misión de Estabilización de las Naciones Unidas en Haití (Minustah) concluyan los arreglos del terreno e instalen las carpas.

“Será algo provisional. El país será reconstruido porque Haití no ha muerto. Nuestro pueblo ha sobrevivido”, dijo Preval, quien instaló la sede de la presidencia en una estación de policía cercana al aeropuerto capitalino, tras el colapso del Palacio Nacional y de todas las sedes de los ministerios por el potente terremoto que el pasado 12 de enero devastó a Haití.


René Preval reconoció que el gobierno desapareció tras la tragedia. “Simplemente desapareció. El gobierno dejó de existir, pero ahora se ha recuperado y está trabajando junto las organizaciones humanitarias que nos han abrumado con tanta generosidad”.

En mensaje nacional la noche del miércoles, Preval instó al pueblo haitiano a tener esperanza en el futuro y les aseguró que Haití sobrevivirá la catástrofe y será “un país mejor”.

where the hell will they move the capital???

Santo Domingo.

I wonder if their going to move the Capital to another city or just build a new one from nothing like Brazil did.

They need to start from scratch...Haiti has so much unused land...and PaP(well nothing can save PaP)it was a mess before the earthquake.

I think they should move it to saint-marc and build the palace in the hills with a nice view of the ocean.

not a bad idea!!!

Is not that far away from PAP and is away from the tectonic plate line that goes across PAP.Saint-Marc is still close enough from the south and north of Haiti with good roads(comparing to others) already in place.

Good eye guys, I was looking at Haiti on Google Earth and thought that the same spot at St Marc has a lot of potential. They can build a more modern and egalitarian city there of reinforced buildings with a more eco- friendly environment.
