Haiti blames their crisis on the DR
Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant of Haiti blamed the crisis in Haiti on the reselling of petrol imported to Haiti in the Dominican Republic. He said the situation is unsustainable and has lead to the increase in fuel prices in Haiti.
In a press release, Jack Guy Lafontant said that Haiti sources fuel at a very low price, much lower than in the Dominican Republic. He says the fact that across the border prices are 43% and 37% more expensive has created a market for their irregular resale.
The president of the Dominican Petroleum Refinery, Félix Jiménez (Felucho) explained that businesses of this kind with the refinery are impossible.
Jiménez said that the Refinery does have clients in the country that sell fuel to the Haitian government, but that it is not the Dominican Petroleum Refinery directly.
