The President of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), Leslie Voltaire, requested “security and food aid” during a video address at the conference marking the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples' Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP), held in Caracas on December 14, 2024.

“We are currently facing a problem of violence from armed gangs who are terrorizing the population. That is why we are asking our ALBA brothers for security and food assistance,” said Leslie Voltaire, referring to the nearly 6 million Haitians suffering from food insecurity. Leslie Voltaire also acknowledged the solidarity expressed towards Haiti during previous disasters, such as the January 12, 2010 earthquake.
