Why We Revive "Le Civilisateur" as the Official Journal of the Party and the University

The University of Xaragua and the Liberal Party of the South and Xaragua proudly revive "Le Civilisateur", the historic newspaper of the Liberal Party of Haiti, as their official journal.

Founded in 1870 by Jean-Pierre Boyer-Bazelais and Edmond Paul, the Liberal Party was a movement dedicated to governance by competence, economic liberalism, and civilian rule. It stood against the military-dominated politics of the time and promoted a government based on meritocracy and parliamentary institutions.

To communicate its vision, the party created "Le Civilisateur", a newspaper that became the intellectual foundation of its political movement. Unlike the National Party, which named its journal "Le Peuple" to symbolize mass democracy, "Le Civilisateur" reflected the belief that progress comes through education, enlightenment, and governance by the most capable individuals.

By reclaiming "Le Civilisateur", we:

✔ Honor the historical legacy of Haiti’s liberal reformers.

✔ Continue the mission of political education, strategic thinking, and regional empowerment.

✔ Provide a platform for intellectual debate, research, and leadership training for Xaragua’s future.

As the original Liberal Party fought for a modern, structured, and autonomous Haiti, we now carry this vision forward for the South and Xaragua. "Le Civilisateur" is more than a newspaper—it is the voice of a movement committed to sovereignty, knowledge, and progress.
