The forces grouped within the plural opposition are adopting an increasingly radical stance towards the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) and the current government, which they deem incapable of leading the transition. During a press conference, they expressed their rejection and sharply criticized the CPT coordinator, Laurent Saint-Cyr, in New York on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly.
According to the opposition, Mr. Saint-Cyr's discussions, focused primarily on security, the constitutional referendum, and upcoming elections, ignored the true causes of the multidimensional crisis shaking the country.
According to a spokesperson, Winder Bernard, the measures adopted by the Trump administration against hundreds of thousands of Haitian compatriots in an irregular situation in the United States have had disastrous consequences on the national economy.
The spokesperson also criticized the disbursement of significant sums from the public treasury for projects that, according to him, were never carried out. He urged the international community not to support the CPT's initiatives, accusing its members of prioritizing their personal interests to the detriment of the population's well-being.
For their part, former electoral advisor Rodol Pierre and engineer Saint-Armand Délissaint, who also spoke at the conference, rejected the Provisional Electoral Council's resolution setting the date for the next elections on March 26, 2026. Rodol Pierre stated that holding this election is unrealistic in the current context, marked by widespread insecurity and a constant deterioration of the sociopolitical situation.
In conclusion, Rodol Pierre and Saint-Armand Délissaint, leaders of political groups belonging to the plural opposition, demand that the Transitional Presidential Council reverse its decision and withdraw on February 7, 2026, to avoid an escalation of the political crisis.
