The issue of putting in place a transition to address the currently pending issues has been dismissed by the regime. He considered it inappropriate because the electoral process is well under way and the ballot will take place on the date which will be confirmed shortly. Those who had mentioned this alternative, however, are not giving up and intend to return to the charge in the future.
A transition whose idea is refuted by the regime
The question of the advisability of a transition had been submitted to the ambassador of the European Union in Madagascar. She had said that she did not rule out the idea and that it depended on the political actors. But the Minister of Culture and Communication, spokesperson for the government, definitively rejected the proposal, affirming that we are moving normally towards the elections. The power has definitively decided and is determined to move forward. The electoral process will be put in place and he does not intend to go back on the electoral code which allowed the holding of the 2018 elections. The discussion is therefore closed. The ordinary session of the National Assembly continues on its way and the planned program will be respected. These are the examination of the mining code and its vote, that of the investment code and its approval by the Assembly. Opponents will try to make themselves heard, but we have the impression that they will only be able to wage rearguard battles. Power seems to have regained control. The voices that had been raised to demand the establishment of a transition continue to be heard. They claim that it will not be the seat of a gathering of opportunists, but an opportunity to really think about how to solve current problems. The term refoundation often comes up among its supporters.
