APHA Denounces Fritz Alphonse Jean's Indifference to the Population's Suffering

Socio-political organizations continue to criticize the behavior of the CPT, particularly its general coordinator Fritz, in the face of the suffering of the Haitian population. In a note released on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, the political organization Agissons pour Haïti (APHA) strongly criticizes the attitude of Fritz Alphonse Jean at the head of the transitional presidential council. For APHA, the representative of the Montana Accord represents an obstacle to the proper functioning of the presidential council.

« The APHA – Agissons pour Haïti organization vehemently deplores the attitude of Mr. Jean, who, far from acting as a man of consensus, now stands as a major obstacle to the normal functioning of the Council of Ministers, » APHA wrote, while indicating that his arrogance, obstinacy, and insensitivity in the face of the suffering of the Haitian people are not only unacceptable but dangerously irresponsible.

While painting a critical picture of Haiti's security and humanitarian situation, this structure, led by Val Nortyl, recalls that the mission of the Presidential Council is to facilitate an inclusive and peaceful transition, prioritizing the urgent needs of the people. Yet, crucial issues remain unresolved, blocked by a clear unwillingness to engage in constructive dialogue. Meanwhile, thousands of displaced families await a concrete response from the State.

APHA also expresses indignation at the extravagant expenses incurred on May 18, and international trips without tangible benefits for the population. These actions reflect, for «Agissons pour Haïti», a deep contempt for the daily suffering of Haitian men and women. It is unacceptable for one man, or a clan, to seek to hold an entire people hostage to satisfy their ambitions or economic interests.

APHA calls on the daughters and sons of the country to mobilize to take the reins of the country to give it a new direction. « Haiti no longer has the luxury of tolerating leaders without vision or compassion. We need women and men capable of serving with humility, lucidity, and integrity, » APHA concluded.

It should be noted that Fritz Jean, representative of the Montana Accord on the transitional presidential council, succeeds Leslie Voltaire in accordance with the resolution taken by the council regarding the rotating presidency.

Since his accession to the head of the CPT, council activities have progressed with difficulty. Critics constantly denounce the economist's faltering leadership, which, according to them, contributes nothing to the proper functioning of the country's presidency. Very few Council of Ministers meetings are organized due to a divisive wind blowing within the presidential structure.
