PRESS STATEMENT

The Haitian Parliamentary Reflection and Action Group (GRAPH) Port-au-Prince, July 4, 2025 Subject: GRAPH's Position on the Failure of the CPT and the Resumption of Dialogue under CARICOM's Auspices Noting the signing of the April 3, 2024 agreement, mediated by the international community through CARICOM, which resulted in a Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) of nine members representing certain sectors of Haitian society while excluding others — a deeply sectarian and exclusive approach; Noting the CPT's failure to respect its own roadmap: the non-establishment of the Government Control Body (OCAG) which should play the role of a true parliament during the transition period, the worsening insecurity, endemic unemployment, the abandonment of large portions of the national territory to armed groups, the growing humanitarian crisis with thousands of displaced persons without direction — all alarming indicators that paint a grim picture of the country's current situation; Scrupulously and rationally analyzing the July 1, 2025 meeting between CARICOM and the failed actors forming the foundation of the CPT — actors who have already demonstrated their incompetence and inefficiency in managing the crisis —, GRAPH believes that this new, again selective, attempt demonstrates the international community's persistent desire to perpetuate a status quo instead of seeking a real, lasting, and inclusive solution to the Haitian crisis. In this regard, the Haitian Parliamentary Reflection and Action Group (GRAPH):

1. Vigorously denounces the manner in which CARICOM relaunched the dialogue by excluding a large part of the nation's vital and representative forces;
2. Recalls that any solution to the current crisis must necessarily involve a truly inclusive dialogue, involving all sectors of Haitian society without discrimination or exclusion;
3. Reaffirms its willingness, availability, and demands to actively participate in any inter-Haitian dialogue initiative aimed at a consensual, sovereign, and respectful resolution of the Haitian people's will.

Haiti cannot recover without the real participation of all its vital forces, in a patriotic surge, far from foreign agendas or arrangements between small interest groups, for an honorable and lasting resolution to the crisis. For GRAPH, it is time to put Haiti back in the hands of Haitians. For authentication: Yves Nicolas DUPRAS, Deputy of Mole Saint Nicolas, Coordinator of GRAPH.- Tel: +509 36 78 3743
