    <title>Pastot Mailhol: A political analysis annoying the HAT supporters</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The present political situation's solution is exclusively a deal between the four mobility leaders. So reads Pastor Mailhol's conclusion. As pushing his stand further ahead, he subsequently predicted Andry Rajoelina's path from being leader of the High Authority of  Transition to being a likely new political exile, could common ground fail to emerge, since the situation going even tenser. Pastor Mailhol took part in the "national debate" organized by the HAT, and described it as "despicable shambles". Pastor Mailhol openly displayed his desappointment in a interview granted by the Antsiva radio reporters. According to him, the debate has been baseless in the end, because Andry Rajoelina was expected either to capitalize what he said, namely the elections, and endorse whatever consequences, or agree with the other mobility leaders and assume the implementation of the Maputo deals which he signed. The stand obviously not to the HAT supporters’ liking at all.]]></description>
