Political crisis in Haiti: a mobilization announced for March 29, 2026 in Port-au-Prince
A public demonstration is planned for Sunday, March 29, in several neighborhoods of the Haitian capital, organized by the group "Opposition Plurielle." The organizers intend to call on the the 1987 Constitution, in a context of persistent political tensions.
A path defined through several strategic axes
At a press conference held on Thursday, the leaders of the movement indicated that the demonstration will begin at 10 a.m. at the Delmas 32 intersection. The procession will then take Delmas 75, near the Canadian embassy, before passing through the Musseau intersection (Delmas 60) and heading towards the Bourdon road.
The organizers of the mobilization claim they want to hold a peaceful march. They also declare their intention to make their demands heard despite a tense socio-political climate.
The organizers place at the heart of their demands the strict application of the 1987 Haitian Constitution. They insist in particular on respect for the dual nature of the executive power, based on the coexistence of a president and a prime minister.
According to them, any drift towards a single-headed system would constitute a challenge to the institutional balance. They also believe that disregard for constitutional provisions contributes to weakening institutions and increasing public distrust.
This initiative comes amid a prolonged political crisis in Haiti, marked in particular by the absence of elections and recurring tensions between political actors.
The scale of the mobilization and its potential repercussions will depend on the level of participation and the ability of the authorities and stakeholders to engage in dialogue. In a climate marked by mistrust, the prospects for de-escalation remain uncertain.
