Tensions created by Leonardo Simao´s draft are quite sharp, as illustrated by the double meeting that took place. On one side, the Rajoelina sphere and its allies, and in the opposite corner, the Ravalomanana, Zafy and Ratsiraka spheres. The HAT is dying for keeping in control, and even threats to move towards unilateral elections with or without settlement of the crisis . The former presidents`clan is claiming a genuine democratic transition prior to the elections.

Extended Rajoelina sphere vs Opposition´s Three spheres: farewell to the consensus

 
 
Andry Rajoelina gathered parties allied to the HAT at national conference center in Ivato in order to come to a decision. These parties allied of the TGV were the ones which signed in to a political agreement and contributed to the Rajoelina sphere´s national conference. The meeting´s incentive? making sure that the same creed is being well printed : “We are going to move forward to elections with or without roadmap! .” 
 
The HAT´s leader displays evidence of impatience. No wonder! his mandate comes very soon to an end. The couple of years long transition that he pledged to his own self through March 2009´s putsch is soon over. Andry Rajoelina doesn’t have any legitimacy anymore after this. The opposition´s three spheres are alreading blaming the HAT leader for failing from putting a end to the transition on December 2010 as agreed  by the Maputo deals. The new built to order Constitution has obvioulsy failed to contain any transitional deadline. 
 
The roadmap would turn into a threat against the TGV and its allies, could Andry Rajoelina come to lose any shadow of legitimacy after the end of his couple of years long stolen mandate. Any consensual and inclusive transition would weaken the TGV´s supporters in large number willing to run the presidential race . Just as Andry Rajoelina, Pierrot Rajaonarivelo, Jean Lahiniriko, Roland Ratsiraka… are calling upon the hurried organization of elections, though being conscious that the opposition´s three spheres are going to keep away from it, could it fail to be organized by a neutral government erected from a consensual and inclusive transition. 
 
The meeting organized by the TGV in Ivato proposed a quick formation of a national unity government as a matter of spuring the events on. “The elections are the single way to settle the crisis, the international community cannot oppose the malagasy sovereign right to impose conditions to the organization of the elections”, declared Rajoelina and his clique in Ivato. The HAT is keeping true to its strategy of enforcing accomplished facts. 
 
The present stake is actually the control over these incoming elections. The opposition´s  three spheres are holding on, do insistently claim on a roadmap deemed to leat to a democratic transition expected to grant the same equal footing to every side in the country ´s leadership. President Zafy addressed the remake of the whole transitional period. 
 
A draft proposed by the oppostion´s three spheres will be produced, as a counterweight to the HAT´s unilateral deal. And so it will be, just as Andry Rajoelina´s stolen mandate comes to an end.  Albert Zafy is thinking a large scale march up, when delivering the document to the United Nations and to the main embassies.
