On Friday, during a virtual meeting, CARICOM’s envoys brought together several representatives of political groupings and civil society organizations. They all shared one common point: the presentation of proposals aimed at replacing the CPT before the symbolic February 7 deadline. This approach reflects both the current political deadlock and the persistent desire of certain actors to redefine the contours of the transition two years later.

The Transitional Presidential Council has clearly failed in its mission. And now its main architect is already working to weave the framework for its replacement, resorting to the same consultative model that led to the creation of the CPT. This time, however, the scenario has changed: the main signatories of the April 3 agreement refused to respond to the call of the CARICOM Eminent Persons Group.
