Two Council of Ministers meetings in three months for an executive governing a country at war with criminal groups is a clear sign of dysfunction among the nation’s leadership. Since the April 14 Council of Ministers meeting, during which the amended 2024–2025 “war budget” was adopted, the nine members of the CPT and the government have been operating as a fragmented entity. There is no cohesion within the transitional leadership. Presidential advisors are holding meetings and traveling abroad without aligning with a coherent and effective vision for the management of state affairs.

In an interview last weekend with Le Nouvelliste, CPT Coordinator Fritz Alphonse Jean acknowledged that the lack of regular Council of Ministers meetings reflects internal issues among CPT members, particularly due to “the desire to appoint incompetent directors general” and “the nomination of hundreds of unqualified individuals in diplomatic positions.”
