Chérizier emphasized the lack of credibility in claims that elections will take place this year. He urged those who still believe in government promises to reconsider and not take at face value what they hear.
Haiti-Observateur also reports that several political parties are beginning to doubt the holding of the planned elections. Some party leaders have distanced themselves from government decisions, indicating growing disaffection for the electoral plans.
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, stated that elections are impossible until security is restored. This position suggests a division within the international community over Haiti's proposed electoral calendar.
Criticism of the CEP
Haiti-Observateur also criticizes the effectiveness and transparency of the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) led by Alix Didier Fils-Aimé. The article highlights frequent changes in the electoral calendar as evidence of incompetence and a lack of respect for voters.
Growing Doubts
Several political figures, including Alex Saint-Gardien Jecrois, have expressed doubts about the credibility of the planned elections. They emphasize that current conditions do not permit a democratic and transparent election process.
