Unusual Decision Sparks Tension as Chief of Staff Summons Foreign Minister

In an unexpected move, Jean Victor Harvel Jean Baptiste, Chief of Staff for the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), has summoned Foreign Minister Dominique Dupuy to a meeting this Wednesday. The gathering aims to resolve misunderstandings regarding the Haitian delegation’s agenda at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

According to sources familiar with the matter, crucial documents, including those related to bilateral meeting requests and security arrangements for key officials, will be demanded during the meeting. The situation raises significant questions about the authority of the Chief of Staff to issue such a summons, a power many have questioned.

Political analysts note that while a Chief of Staff holds an influential position within the administration, they are not legally empowered to summon a government minister. This action is seen by some as a display of Jean Victor Harvel Jean Baptiste’s growing influence within the CPT, but it also highlights growing internal tensions within the Council.
