KONTRAPÈP LA Party Condemns Abduction of Nicolas Maduro

Approximately three years after the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by the United States of America, Haitian political parties are beginning to react. This is the case for KONBIT TRAVAYÈ PEYIZAN POU LIBERE AYITI, KONTRAPÈP LA. In a statement released this Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the organization led by former Nippes senator Jean William Jeanty strongly condemns this act of abduction, calling it an act of « Zenglendo ». « Konbit travayè peyizan pou libere Ayiti strongly condemns the « zenglendo » act, this act contrary to international law committed by the Trump administration, which kidnapped Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Fores », reads the party's statement. According to the political organization, this barbaric act is proof of the moral collapse of what, until now, represents the world's greatest material power.
When an empire is forced to violate laws and rules it itself constructed, it is a sign that it is collapsing, the organization wrote. Notably, this statement comes in a context where members of the population are questioning the silence of Haitian politicians, especially those on the left, regarding Nicolas Maduro's abduction. For some, leaders fear American sanctions; for others, they have never been true left-wing leaders. Will there be other reactions from Haitian politicians or the government? We await to see.
