Jerry Tardieu confirms Article 6.1 of May 23, 2024 decree explicitly prohibits CPT mandate extension. Legal prohibition creates constitutional impossibility for government silent maneuvers strategy proceeding as if CPT will govern through 2026. Article 6.1 contradicts U.S. Secretary of State Rubio's January 1 endorsement implicitly accepting CPT governance through August 2026 elections. Any CPT extension requires either constitutional amendment impossible without Parliament or new decree requiring international legitimization Canada rejects. Tardieu's optimism contrasts with MORN's December 28 unilateral rejection of extension and MOPAL's January 4 warning about institutional void. With 34 days until February 7, Haiti faces constitutional crisis where CPT cannot legally extend January 04, 2026 mandate yet no replacement formula visible.
