Expert reports on the table

The head of government reviewed work by specialized commissions and by the Louis-Joseph Janvier Chair at Quisqueya University on the constitutional framework and how state institutions function. He invited the media, civil society and political parties to contribute so that a consensus can emerge.

The plan to change the Constitution is divisive. Supporters point to the National Pact signed in February 2026. Opponents note that Article 284-3 of the 1987 Constitution forbids amending it by referendum. The prime minister's office gave no timetable.
