Many football-mad Haitians have adopted Brazil as their team. On July 6th, as the Brazilians played Belgium, the Haitian government quietly raised fuel prices by around 40%. A Brazilian victory might have left Haitians too ecstatic to protest. But Brazil lost and Port-au-Prince burst into flames. Three people died. Jack Guy Lafontant, the prime minister, reversed the policy, but could not save his job. He resigned on Saturday. The policy is sound, but the government botched its pitch
