News in Madagascar: The collective of 11 ready to intensify the movement
In a tense political context, the collective of 11 opposition candidates in Madagascar promised to toughen up the protest movement. Gathered in front of thousands of supporters at the Antsonjombe Coliseum in Antananarivo, they hammered home their desire to prevent the presidential election scheduled for November 16 from taking place.
During this second meeting, the candidates invited their activists to take the place of May 13, a highly symbolic place where former president Marc Ravalomanana was overthrown during the 2009 coup d’état. To mark their determination, the former head of state displayed his unexpected support on stage: Mounja Roindefo, one of the instigators of the 2009 coup d’état.
This rally was an opportunity for the candidates to galvanize their supporters and emphasize that the protest movement will not weaken. Political tension has intensified in recent days, and many citizens believe that the presidential election cannot be held in this tumultuous climate.
The demonstrators demand radical change and a real evolution of the political situation in Madagascar. They are determined to continue their struggle and expand the movement into the provinces, with the aim of overthrowing the regime in place.
Some observers say that the appointment of General Richard Ravalomanana as interim president will only increase the protests. Many fear authoritarian governance and believe that those in power do not respect legality.
Faced with this mobilization, the candidates of the collective of 11 met with their supporters for a resumption of the movement on October 31. They promise that the fight will produce concrete results from next week.
Madagascar’s political future remains uncertain, and it is difficult to predict how the situation will evolve in the coming days. But one thing is certain: the collective of 11 is determined to make its voice heard and bring about real political change in the country.
Stay tuned to follow the latest news on the situation in Madagascar and the evolution of the protest movement.
