During the latest week end, Roland Ratsiraka organized a political meeting in Mahajanga, ignoring the political truce.
Roland Ratsiraka argued that sending opposition members behind bars would be no solution to the political crisis. His uncle, former president Didier Ratsiraka supported Andry Rajoelina´s action against Marc Ravalomanana in 2009, but now firmly stands in the opposition´s ranks. Didier Ratsiraka actually did not expect Rajoelina to let him down and make the transitional presidency his.
