“Parti Fòs Chanjman Nasyonal (FCN)” is the name of a new political party that was officially launched
on Saturday, July 26, in Pétion-Ville. Auguste D’Meza and Jean Junior Rémy are respectively President and Secretary General. Its slogan: “Nouka alèz Lakay Nou.” Prominent political figures and civil society members took part in the inaugural ceremony held at a hotel in Pétion-Ville. According to its leaders,
this new party aims to position itself as “a force breaking away from traditional politics in Haiti.” In his address, the party's Secretary General, Jean Junior Rémy, focused on the need to break with old political practices. He denounced the successive failures of powers in Haiti and, consequently, called on everyone to mobilize. For his part, in his speech, Auguste D’Meza, the party's president, criticized what he called “spectacle politics,” practiced by Haitian elites. “No to spectacle politics!” D’Meza declared. Throughout the interventions, members expressed their desire to break with the logic of traditional parties often created around personal ambitions. The FCN aims to carry “a collective, structured project, rooted in the country's realities and open to its diaspora.” In parallel, Auguste D’Meza denounced the excesses of the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT), highlighting the worsening insecurity, the rise of kidnapping, and the paralysis of the state which, for him, exceeds red indicators. Created in December 2024, FCN includes many well-known local leaders. Maggie Petit Maître, Head of Human Resources; Dr. Jean Marc Dargout, Head of Health Issues; Ady Timmer, member of the diaspora coordination in Miami. Ralph Morisseau (Montreal), Myc Cooper Michel (West Department), and Gardy Forge, Deputy Secretary General. Gedeon Delva
