Several Haitian political parties signed an agreement on Thursday, March 20, aimed at harmonizing their positions around a central demand: the establishment of a dual executive. Through this initiative, they also intend to increase pressure on the government led by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, whom they accuse of a lack of transparency in the management of certain public contracts.
The signatories denounce, in particular, agreements concluded with foreign firms, valued at several million dollars, which they consider opaque and contrary to legal procedures, especially in the absence of calls for tenders. They believe this represents a worrying trend in the management of state affairs.
Speaking on behalf of the Montana Accord, Dr. Jean Henry Buteau accused the authorities of serving narrow economic interests. He argued that the current government favors oligarchic groups, while portraying the head of government as a puppet actor in the country's governance.
For his part, Mr. Théophin questioned the Prime Minister's legitimacy to lead the executive branch alone. He asserted that contracts signed without a call for tenders are illegal and, like the other signatories, called for the establishment of a dual leadership structure.
Mr. Delson defended this position, invoking the Haitian Constitution to support this demand. According to him, only a president has the prerogative to convene the electorate, arguing that a prime minister cannot assume sole responsibility for leading the state.
The signatory parties are calling for citizen mobilization to demand greater transparency in public management, respect for institutions, and shared governance. They announce their intention to intensify actions in the coming days.
In the context of a persistent political crisis, this agreement could reshape the balance of power within the opposition. It remains to be seen whether this call for mobilization will succeed in influencing the decisions of the current government.
