PM steps down over fuel price plan

Haitian Prime Minister Jack Guy Lafontant resigned Saturday amid calls for him to step down over his handling of a failed plan to raise fuel prices that set off a wave of deadly protests. President Jovenel Moïse confirmed via Twitter that he had accepted Lafontant’s resignation along with those of other cabinet members. The abrupt resignation came ahead of a vote on a motion of censure for Lafontant.
