PHOTO: Haiti President Martelly Inauguration Day, with Mario Andresol - écharpe présidentielle

Look at this photo... President Michel Martelly on the day of his inauguration in Haiti, wearing the "écharpe présidentielle" (presidential sash).

The écharpe présidentielle is a ceremonial sash symbolizing the authority and official role of the president as the head of state. It is often used in formal events to represent the dignity and responsibilities of the office.

Next to the president in the photo is Mario Andrésol, who was serving as the Chief of Police at the time. Andrésol was a key figure in ensuring security and public safety during a critical period in Haiti's history, particularly as the country worked to recover from the devastating 2010 earthquake.

This moment captures not only the historic inauguration of Michel Martelly as Haiti's 42nd president but also highlights the collaboration between the presidency and law enforcement in maintaining order and stability during a challenging era for the nation.
