While definitely withdrawing the road map supported by the international community to put an end to the crisis, the Rajoelina administration pretends no have no strings attached by unilaterally organizing elections with state funds under its control. Whether international recognition, legality, or legitimacy… everything is even further to be acquired with this strategy to patch a constituent assembly up to unblock the crisis.

Legislative elections worthing referendum, the non recognizable poles

The legislative elections will provide Andry Rajoelina with the opportunity to put the international community’s inclination to recognize elections organized by a single one mobility to the test. Daring the odds at his own expenses with presidential poles is, naturally, off the point for the transition’s duce. The three other mobilities being weakened and decapitated by their leaders’ forced exile, the TGV and the Forces for Change give themselves the chance to capitalize their virtual majority. The Prime minister supposed to come out of this future majority is paradoxically being qualified by Andry Rajoelina as the national unity one. The real stake remains the Constitution to be carved to order for Andry Rajoelina. His assembly will pass it since referendums are always too risky. The silent majority could dangerously stand against the authors of the putsch in retaliation for the crisis and its backlashes. A too low participation rate would jeopardize the vote’s recognition and the imposed authorities’ legitimacy. Until today, the president of the HAT has been straining to legitimize and legalize his unconstitutionally acquired power. The new one-sided diagram announced by Andry Rajoelina is very likely to be boycotted by the three other mobilities and by the International Contact Group. The young putsch maker carefully called for a political truce due to celebrations, before launching the attack, trying to surprise everybody. For having turned down President Ravalomanana’s proposal to inquire whether citizens wanted him to remain in power or not, Andry Rajoelina must expect legitimacy denial for his mobility’s future constituent assembly. The member of the HAT, Désiré Ramakavelo, is persuaded that the international community is going to accept this constituent assembly. “When power is being returned to the people, non recognition means hatred against the Malagasy people or the will to destroy it “, he argued. The other mobilities’ reaction is moderated, for the will to deny too much relevance to Andry Rajoelina’s umpteenth non consensual decision. Officially, political truce has come into force in Madagascar, and the International Contact Group’s mediation ought to resume only by the beginning of the year. In the Zafy mobility, voices have raised against this flagrant violation of the Maputo agreements. “Andry Rajoelina wants to undisputedly rule the country whatever it takes”, denounced one of the professor’s proxies who expected to welcome the exiled delegation at the airport of Ivato. As far as he is concerned, “such unilateral behaviour irretrievably drives the country into chaos “. He regretted the HAT president’s “immaturity” and his “crafty speeches”. Victor Hong, from the Ratsiraka front, said that Andry Rajoelina cannot speak as president of the transition if he withdraws from the Maputo process. He subsequently looked down at the “personal opinion” about the organization of legislative elections.
