Haiti - Politic : Rain of diplomatic appointments under political pressure 08/06/2025 10:57:44
Jean claims to have explicitly and firmly contested these appointments and to have rejected more than a hundred of them. He points out that in several embassies, the appointed staff exceeds the physical capacity. Despite his opposition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored his objections and proceeded with the appointments. The controversy surrounding these diplomatic appointments is intensifying and risks becoming the next government scandal. Foreign Minister Harvel Jean-Baptiste stated that many of the appointments that have sparked public outrage were made, among others, at the request of presidential advisors, including Smith Augustin, Louis Gérald Gilles, and the Prime Minister. He insisted that he was not behind these decisions and unequivocally dissociated himself from these appointments made under political pressure. Me André Michel also strongly criticized these excessive appointments. He cited in particular the staff of the Haitian Consulate in Paris, which has grown from 10 to 30 employees. He pointed out that more than 400 people have been appointed or confirmed to diplomatic positions in 13 months, compared to only 25 under Ariel Henry's government. He believes that 90% of these diplomatic positions lack experience in international relations, which will harm Haiti's credibility and image on the international stage.
