 PORT-AU-PRINCE --
A smiling Michel
Martelly, wearing
the red and blue
presidential sash,
walked out of a
white parliament
building Saturday
holding his wife’s
right hand. “Great,
great, great,” said
Sophia Martelly,
dressed in a royal
blue two-piece suit.
Moments earlier, her
husband,
musician-turned-politician
Martelly was sworn
in as this
quake-ravaged
nation’s 56th
president.
Bernardito Cleopas
Auza, the Roman
Catholic Church’s
Apostolic Nuncio,
called Saturday a
good day for Haiti.
“Personally, I’m
very happy for
Haiti, and I hope we
can have some
reconciliation”
going forward, he
said. “The new
president has
generated energy,
optimism. There is
really a lot of hope
for this new mandate
that we can see
progress and finally
projects of
reconstruction
taking place,”
