Political Crisis: Opposition Aims to Topple the CPT

The so-called plural opposition, comprising over fifty social and political organizations, met with the press this Tuesday to review the current political situation and announce a calendar focused on nationwide mobilization, with the aim of attempting to overthrow the Presidential Transitional Council.

During this meeting with the media, Jeantel Joseph, former Director General of ANAP, painted a grim picture closely linked to the complex political instability plaguing the country, and pointed fingers at regional hemispheric organizations, particularly CARICOM, which, according to him, must assume responsibility for the failure of the CPT.

“We are ready and firmly determined to overthrow the Presidential Transitional Council, which has done nothing to stabilize the country,” Joseph announced.

14 months after the CPT's installation, the situation has become dramatic, and the country is broadly plunged into terror, indifference, and misery, declared the leader of the plural opposition, who believes it is necessary and more than urgent to hand over power to the Court of Cassation.

According to the political leader, a significant segment of the political opposition has always been in favor of the Court of Cassation leading the transition with full transparency.

For his part, Maître Evelt Fanfan, also an opponent, denounced in his speech a series of maneuvers by the international community that intends to make Haiti an unlivable territory, like Palestine and many other countries on the African continent.

Also noting the failure of the nine members of the Presidential Transitional Council, he called on the population to rise up against the current team, which has no choice but to step down.
