In a recent interview, Fritz Alphonse Jean stated that he does not understand the content of the draft Constitution.
Yet, he had personally approved the decree launching the referendum.
➡️ A contradiction that raises serious questions.
A Contradictory Act
The current coordinator of the Transitional Presidential Council, Fritz Alphonse Jean, is clearly one of the most contradictory figures in Haitian politics today.
🗨️ “I do not understand the draft Constitution,” he told five journalists during a press briefing.
And yet, on June 24, 2015, during a Council of Ministers meeting, he approved the decree launching the referendum process surrounding that very document.
This blatant inconsistency raises serious concerns about his political stance.
A Questionable Leadership
❓ How can a leader support such a fundamental document while publicly admitting that he does not understand its content?
This statement casts doubt on:
- his personal credibility
- the legitimacy of the constitutional process
- the coherence of leadership within the transitional council
🔍 Wavering governance undermines any serious attempt at reform.
A Discredited Governance Style
To many observers, this position reflects:
- a lack of clear vision
- a governing style based on improvisation
- an alarming ambiguity in decision-making
In a country in crisis, where institutional reform is critical, such recklessness sends a troubling signal.
Haiti cannot afford leaders who do not master the tools of transition.
The draft Constitution deserves a genuine civic debate, but it requires, above all, leaders who are:
- clear-headed
- consistent
- sincerely committed to institutional reconstruction
