In a statement, the organization denounced that the deployment of Salvadoran military personnel serves the interests of the United States, France, allied governments, and segments of the Haitian oligarchy—all of whom the party holds responsible for the long-standing deterioration of political and economic conditions in the neighboring country.
The PCT asserts that foreign military interventions—justified by claims of restoring peace, democracy, and development—have instead resulted in greater dependency, poverty, and external control over Haiti.
As historical context, the organization pointed to the U.S. military occupation from 1915 to 1934, support for dictatorships, various coups d’etat, economic policies promoted during the Bill Clinton administration (1993–2001), and the 1991 coup against then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The political organization asserted that a solution to the Haitian crisis must be forged by the country’s own citizens and the organizations that represent their interests, without relying on external military interventions.
Furthermore, the party attributed the continued existence of gangs to segments of the Haitian oligarchy and international actors who, it alleged, profit from the resulting disorder and instability.
This statement comes amid the deployment of Salvadoran military personnel to Port-au-Prince—an action announced by the government of Nayib Bukele—to support a search-and-rescue operation for four Salvadoran nationals who went missing following an ambush by armed gangs.
