Ericq Pierre
Ericq Pierre (born 1945?) is a Haitian economist working for the Inter-American Development Bank. He was unsuccessfully nominated as Prime Minister by President René Préval in 1997 and 2008.
Pierre lives in Washington, DC, where the Inter-American Development Bank is based, and is an advisor for the Bank regarding Haiti. In the midst of a political crisis following the resignation of Prime Minister Rosny Smarth, Pierre was nominated as Prime Minister by President Préval in 1997, but the Chamber of Deputies
Manuel was behind harsh crackdowns on Aristide supporters.
After Prime Minister Jacques-Édouard Alexis was defeated in a no-confidence vote in April 2008, Préval nominated Ericq Pierre to replace him, but Pierre's nomination was rejected by the Chamber of Deputies on 12 May 2008 due to a technicality with his citizenship papers. Préval then nominated Manuel, a presidential adviser, as Prime Minister late on May 25 during a meeting with the President of the Senate and the President of the Chamber of Deputies.
