	Fanmi Lavalas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fanmi Lavalas is a populist social democracy political party in Haiti.
		Fanmi Lavalas was formed in 1996 as a split by Aristide and the poor masses from the smaller neo-liberal elite Struggling People's Party.
		Two main reasons for the creation of Fanmi Lavalas are known: (1) to allow the Lavalas movement to remain inclusive; (2) to prevent rival politicians from taking over the movement's leadership from Aristide and other more left-wing leaders.

		Lavalas cannot win these elections if it is disorganized, Mr.Voltaire said, as he believes exiled Lavalas officials like President Jean Bertrand Aristide should be approached to try and reach a true consensus on this question.
		If Lavalas does not run in the next elections, it will be in an extra parliamentary opposition for 5 years while the next government will surely be supported by the MINUSTAH and the international community, even if it does not have popular legitimacy.
		He said it seemed however that some people or groups from the international community were trying to make things difficult for Lavalas in case the organization decided to run in the elections, as 95% of the population are poor people, and, thus, members and supporters of Lavalas, he stated.

		In essence, Fanmi Lavalas wanted decisions to hold the presidential and senatorial elections within a definite timeframe that would allow for the taking of office by a new elected President on February 7, 2001, whereas the Convergence wanted prior decisions on the fate (and annulment) of the elections of May 21.
