Prime Minister Ariel Henry has reached the 24-month mark in power. The transition has still not begun. He is in search of significant political achievements and the broad political consensus long demanded by his international community tutors. With Mr. Henry, critics point out these deceptive political discussions with opponents and the recent failures of two rounds of political negotiations under the auspices of CARICOM. The allies of PM Henry do not hold it against him. Some indicate, almost with their hand on their hearts, that he is "negotiating" an agreement to move forward, pave the way for a ministerial reshuffle, the appointment of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), and the process of drafting a new constitution. On the other hand, some are sharp in their criticism.

"I've never heard of anything like this," stated a source close to the collective of January 30th, when asked on Monday whether there were or weren't political negotiations with PM Henry to reach an agreement and integrate the ministerial cabinet. With nuances and precautions, given the political figures' capacity here to do an about-face, this source maintains that "personal exchanges with individuals or personalities do not constitute negotiations." Negotiations, according to the source, "require a protocol, an agenda, and a timetable." "He cannot want one thing and its opposite," this source rebuked, quick to emphasize a deficit attributed to Ariel Henry: he does not inspire confidence.
