Friday March 15, 2024 Antony Blinken, American Secretary of State declared during a press conference in Austria that the Presidential Transitional Council (CPT) proposed by Haiti, intended to ensure a political transition and bring stability to the country, was not still not put in place, but he said he was convinced that it would happen in the coming days https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-41888-haiti-flash-6-out-of-7-entities-have-submitted-the-names-of-their-representatives-to-the-presidential-transitional-council.html

Still no agreement between the signatories of the December 21 Agreement regarding the personality who should represent them at the CPT. Caricom grants a new deadline until Saturday March 16, 2024 at noon to the different branches of the December 21 Agreement to find an agreement on their representative on the Presidential Council. Charles Tardieu withdrew his candidacy and supports Vikerson Garnier against Levaillant Louis-Jeune. Regarding the withdrawal of "Pitit Dessalin" his representative should be replaced by a representative of Civil Society according to certain (unofficial) information.

Under the agreement, Blinken recalled, the CPT will appoint an interim prime minister and with him an inclusive council of ministers, including a national security council and an electoral commission that would oversee the new elections.

"This was a Haitian-led agreement," Blinken stressed. Adding that the issue of security is related, but distinct, and that humanitarian aid, economic development and the organization of elections would be impossible if there was deep insecurity in Haiti.
