Moïse Jean-Charles has "thrown into the trash" Caricom's proposal to establish a Presidential Council composed of seven members and two observers. During a press conference on Wednesday, the former parliamentarian expressed his disagreements with such a project and stated his commitment to the three-member Presidential Council he formed with his allies.
"We had a meeting with Caricom leaders on Saturday, March 9. It was not a meeting to seek their favor. We revealed our plan based on a three-member Presidential Council endorsed by 150 political parties, 3,250 grassroots organizations, peasants, and workers. I told them that this agreement was a non-negotiable national consensus," reported the former senator, before outlining his disagreements with Caricom's proposal.
Moïse Jean-Charles stated that he does not understand the logic of negotiating with members of the government they overthrew. "We are not foolish. We overthrew the government because it promotes kidnapping, increases insecurity, and is corrupt. I do not understand how Caricom can propose that we sit down with representatives of the same government with whom we refused to negotiate," criticized the Pitit Dessalines leader.
As a second point of disagreement with Caricom's proposal, Moïse Jean-Charles pointed out the presence of a representative from the economic sector on the Presidential Council. "Politics will provide economic alternatives, not the other way around. The state is there to regulate the economic system. How can we understand that it is the economic system that regulates the state and that it takes control of affairs? There will be a conflict of interest," justified Moïse Jean-Charles.
While in Caricom's proposal, representatives on the Presidential Council must agree to the deployment of the Multinational Security Support Mission, Moïse Jean-Charles took the opportunity to remind that Pitit Dessalines will remain consistent with its position against the arrival of said mission.
Regarding the nine members of the Presidential Council (7 members with voting rights and 2 observers), Moïse Jean-Charles sees it as a waste of the country's resources, as each member will have their entourage, private residence, per diem, salaries, among others.
"Caricom cannot present us with a seven-headed serpent. We have rejected it," declared the former senator from the North, specifying that they are enemies of no one. "We want them to see reason. It is not possible."
In Moïse Jean-Charles's view, what is happening at Caricom suggests that "the international community wants a civil war in Haiti." "We have political maturity; we will thwart this project. We will take the destiny of our country into our own hands with other leaders so that our three-member Presidential Council can move forward," he promised. Moïse Jean-Charles invites other leaders mentioned in Caricom's project to the dialogue table, except for the actors of the December 21 Accord and the economic sector.
"Our dignity is stronger than the personal benefits that Caricom's proposal can offer us, such as ministerial positions, directorships, customs […]. We have created a political bloc composed of 150 parties including Pitit Dessalines, Guy Philippe, Consortium de Jeantel Joseph, Saint Armant, Lapeh, Bouclier, Solution. The three-member Presidential Council we have formed will be installed whether they like it or not," stated Moise Jean-Charles.
