« Leslie Voltaire's record is a failure, » says Me André Michel

On April 19, 2024, Lesly Voltaire, as he and his 8 other colleagues were preparing to take the reins of power, declared on a capital radio station: « The fish rots from the head; Ariel Henry lacked the political will to solve the problem of insecurity and restore the State. We will do it. » This statement from the person who, for the past 5 months, has held the presidency of the CPT, had the value of a political program; today it serves as an epitaph and should be engraved in capital letters on the tomb of his failure.

The failure of the CPT is confirmed. The latest United Nations reports eloquently reflect this failure: over 5,600 people murdered by armed gangs and more than 1,045,000 internally displaced persons under the CPT's tenure. The general situation in the country has deteriorated exponentially over the past 10 months. Let us, however, focus on Lesly Voltaire's verbose, wasteful, corrupt, and in every respect ineffective « reign, » which sheds light on what is to come.

The CPT's mission was to restore security and organize general elections in the country, as specified in the Decree of April 12, 2024, establishing it, and incidentally in the agreement of April 3 of the same year.

The famous National Security Council, provided for by the aforementioned texts, was never established, even though its creation was announced without anyone ever knowing who its members were. A smokescreen that no one would have thought possible in the age of social media.

Lesly Voltaire seemingly fulfilled a youthful dream with his trip to Europe to meet Pope Francis and French President Emmanuel Macron. The level of improvisation during this trip was remarkable, but Voltaire still got his photo with the Sovereign Pontiff, which he can leave to his grandchildren as a record of his time in the highest office of the State. In Paris, he met Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who currently holds no official position, before President Macron. Mr. Mélenchon did not even bother to mention the meeting on his social media, while Voltaire published photos on his personal and presidential accounts. As for the meeting with President Macron, it remains artistically vague. The Élysée did not deem it important to organize a joint press conference for the two men, as is customary with heads of state received in audience. This trip was an ultimate humiliation for the Haitian people.

Lesly Voltaire, still performing his grand improvisation act, gave a surreal interview to France 24 during this tour, where he clearly did not master the subjects discussed. With great self-assurance, the Advisor, upon his return, declared that he had entrusted the problem of insecurity to Notre-Dame, provoking incomprehension and mockery.

Under Voltaire's administration, the State lost control of the neighborhoods of Solino, Kenscoff, Lalue, Carrefour Feuilles, Nazon, lower Delmas, and the Champ de Mars, where the Palace has become an endangered island, unable to host the Council of Ministers. Port-au-Prince airport, for its part, has become an empty shell, with no short-term hope of accommodating international or even regional flights.
