Haitian Embassy in the Dominican Republic: Management Obsesses Over License Plates While Ignoring Filth and Internal Crisis

Recently, two circular notes dated December 11 and 12, 2025, were addressed to the staff. The first focuses on vehicle registration and parking management. The second announces the Ambassador’s absence from December 14 to 27. These documents raise a fundamental question: what are the administration’s true priorities?

Bureaucracy Focused on Plates, Blind to Filth It is startling to see such zeal regarding parking regulations while the embassy’s surroundings remain a public health hazard. The street adjacent to the mission is perceived by locals and Dominican media as an open-air dump—marked by the stench of urine and accumulated waste. These conditions are an insult to Haitian taxpayers, consular users, and international partners.

A Disconnected Reality The parking lot can barely hold ten vehicles, making the new regulations practically irrelevant. Meanwhile, the sidewalk is occupied by an informal market of street food and makeshift services, mimicking the chaos found in front of immigration offices in Haiti. Why focus on parking discipline when the basic hygiene and professional environment are non-existent?

Governance Crisis and Internal Tensions Beyond the physical decay, a toxic climate reigns inside. Reports indicate widespread internal conflicts and a total lack of cohesion. Sources suggest Ambassador Longchamps avoids resolving these crises, allowing a minimalist management style to take root while tolerating the allegedly haughty attitude of Pierre Karly Jean Jeune.

The Haitian Embassy cannot be reduced to an administration obsessed with license plates while ignoring the stench and internal collapse. Restoring dignity and proper governance is no longer a choice; it is an emergency.
