Citizens of the popular sector and certain political organizations firmly declare that they reject the political transition that the American Department of State is preparing for us with a presidential council of 7 members, plus two members of the Business sector and a Prime Minister.
In fact this executive will have 10 people. Negative reactions have already been recorded such as that of the political group “ANSANM” which categorically rejects this proposal and according to Wilther Élian, its national coordinator “the functioning of this council will not be fluid due to the number of members retained. The composition of 7 members poses a problem,” he said while adding that he is in favor of “a two-headed executive made up of a president and a prime minister. »

He declared to the daily newspaper Le Nouvelliste that “The international community, through Caricom, has decided, once again, to ridicule the Haitian people, as it has done for more than a century. Since the departure of President Jean Claude Duvalier, the international community has been the architect of all the ills of our people. She takes total and real control of decision-making power with the sole objective of pushing Haiti into the abyss”
