The Defenders of the Oppressed popular educators’ view
The earthquake did not destroy Haiti. It is, preferably, poor environmental management, a lack of public policy planning on the part of the State which is the basis of this painful experience. The disaster that struck Haiti is not only natural but also social and political.
