Marc Louis Bazin (French pronunciation: [maʁk lwi bazɛ̃]; March 6, 1932 – June 16, 2010) was a World Bank official, former United Nations functionary and Haitian Minister of Finance and Economy under the dictatorship of Jean-Claude Duvalier.
He was prime minister of Haiti appointed on June 4, 1992, by the military government that had seized power on September 30, 1991.
[1] He was considered to be the favorite Haitian presidential candidate of the George H. W. Bush administration and the bourgeois population of Haiti.
Washington's initial response was that he held the post illegally, but they soon warmed up to him and pressed Aristide to negotiate with the military and Bazin.
[6] Bazin was also a fervent political opponent of Aristide, and ran in the 2006 election for the presidency of Haiti,[7] but was reported to have received only about 0.68% of the vote in the 35-candidate race.
