Jean Charles Moïse Threatens to Withdraw from CPT and Revive Street Protests

Jean Charles Moïse is once again reaching for his usual political playbook. Sensing, in his words, that “the ship is sinking,” the leader of Pitit Dessalines appears ready to jump ship. Speaking on Magik9 this Monday, Moïse threatened to withdraw his representative, Emmanuel Vertilaire, from the Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) within two weeks—a signal of growing discontent and possible withdrawal from the transitional process.

The announcement adds a new twist to Moïse’s ongoing campaign against both the CPT and the interim government led by Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. He has intensified his criticisms in recent weeks, accusing the council of failing to address the country’s pressing issues and betraying the hopes of the Haitian people. Yet, he continues to offer no concrete alternative, relying instead on his tried-and-true strategy of opposition without accountability.

In tandem with this threat, Moïse has announced plans to reignite street mobilizations aimed at toppling both the CPT and the current government. By mobilizing public frustration, he hopes to reassert his political relevance and force a radical shift in the current power structure. However, this latest maneuver raises fresh doubts about his true intentions and whether he genuinely seeks a collaborative path out of the crisis—or simply aims to capitalize on the chaos.
