When Fritz Alphonse Jean Handpicks “His” Journalists for an Interview

The President of the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT), Fritz Alphonse Jean, will officially address the press on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 11 a.m. at the Villa d’Accueil.

This highly anticipated speech, set against a backdrop of institutional gridlock and widespread uncertainty, is already drawing sharp criticism for its format: only five carefully selected journalists have been invited.

🗣️ The invited journalists:

• Marvel Dandin (Radio Kiskeya)
• Hérold Jean-François (Radio Ibo)
• Wendell Théodore (Radio Métropole)
• Frantz Duval (Le Nouvelliste)
• Gotson Pierre (AlterPresse)

This limited selection fuels suspicions of controlled communication. Many observers see it as an attempt to shape the narrative by sidelining critical or independent voices.

In a country grappling with a profound crisis, where trust in institutions is deeply eroded, this approach raises serious questions about the CPT’s transparency and commitment to openness.

❓ What the public expects:

It remains to be seen whether the questions asked on Friday will break from a scripted framework and address the real issues:

• Rampant insecurity
• Political deadlock
• The electoral transition
• The future of the country
