Abandoning State Secularism
"The Republic recognizes, pays for, nor subsidizes any religion." This is, in essence, the substance of the 1905 French law concerning the separation of Churches and State, which was inserted, almost word for word, into Madagascar's internal legal system. This law, which establishes the State's neutrality with respect to all religions, was strongly influenced by freemasonry. A secret society suspected of conducting human sacrifices within its temple in Ivandry. Almost at the very moment when the State's secularism was sacrificed on the altar of the Tobilehibe of Ankaramalaza, even though "the principle of separation between State affairs and its religious institutions and their representatives" is enshrined in the Constitution. That of the Fourth Republic, which remains in force until the adoption, by referendum, of the future fundamental law of the Fifth Republic, which will likely put a cross on certain provisions. Among others, those of article one, which states that "the Malagasy people constitute a Nation organized as a sovereign, unitary, republican and secular State." If the unitary State risks giving way to a federal State composed of a conglomerate of separate federated states, the State would no longer be separated from all Churches. The non-interference enshrined in the 2010 Constitution could be replaced by "collaboration" between the two entities, as the head of State continues to preach. Secularism is de facto repealed. Or rather by the act of the Prince, not to say "Dadatoa Michaël," who granted a donation of 40 million Ar to Ankaramalaza, as he previously did for other religions, despite the 1905 law whose equivalent has not been removed from Malagasy legislation.
