The tone goes up a notch on the opposition side. The collective of candidates declared on Saturday in Antsonjombe that they will reconquer the place of May 13. “It was on the Place de 13 Mai that he took power, and it will be on the Place du 13 Mai that he will fall,” declared former President Marc Ravalomanana, who clearly still has difficulty controlling the situation. digested his fall from power in 2009 following a movement led by the then mayor, Andry Rajoelina.
The deputy for Ambatondrazaka, Fidèle Razara Pierre, chanted “May 13, May 13” while hammering home in his speech that the Malagasy people have tolerated enough, “it is now time to move up a gear” and therefore invest the Place du 13 mai. To hear them, this fight will take on another dimension this week. The demonstrators also intend to end the movement this week with a “victory”.
Other leaders of the movement such as candidate Jean Jacques Ratsisetison spoke of their intolerance regarding the manipulation of the election. He notably reiterated the remarks of Monja Roindefo, the former Prime Minister of the Transition of Andry Rajoelina in 2009, concerning the “electoral minutes already established” in the South of Madagascar. Indeed, the son of the patriot Monja Jaona, joined the movement of the collective of candidates, after having suffered the rejection of his candidacy in this race for the supreme office.
Candidate Roland Ratsiraka once again enlivened the audience with his very athletic gestures and his protesting speech against in particular the practice of the regime and candidate No. 3 who would have offered him astronomical sums of a billion ariary. But the biggest stars of this event remain the candidate Tahiana Razafinjoelina who strummed the six strings to sing with Dama from the group Mahaelo and Eric from the group Tselatra. A service that is both anecdotal and historical.
The presence of artists such as members of the Ambondrona group among the audience notably marked this “white march” of the collective of candidates for the presidential election which visibly did not waver despite the absence of candidates Andry Raobelina and Lalaina Ratsirahonana , as well as the decision of Siteny Randrianasoloniako to carry out an electoral campaign and therefore to withdraw from the collective, but above all despite the repression of the police.
