Following the military parade held Friday, June 26 at Barea stadium in Mahamasina marking Madagascar's 66th independence anniversary, former president Marc Ravalomanana commented on the country's current situation. When asked about destabilization accusations regularly raised by authorities in recent weeks, he argued this was not the real priority. According to him, the urgent matter lies elsewhere: addressing the difficulties the population faces daily. "This destabilization story is pure invention," declared the founder of Tiako i Madagasikara (TIM). He clarified, however, that should any genuine attempt occur, it must be confronted collectively. For the former head of state, political leaders would benefit more by focusing efforts on improving Malagasy living conditions, noting that "the people truly suffer and complain." He also believed that when a government works effectively, it cannot be hindered by destabilization accusations. Ravalomanana also shared his vision of patriotism. In his view, Malagasy people deeply love their country and wish to show solidarity. He regrets, however, a lack of organization and coordination in undertaken actions. For him, this solidarity spirit must now translate into concrete, better-structured initiatives to meet population expectations. When asked about possible national reconciliation, the former president took a firm stance. He considers such a process not a priority in the current context. According to him, it would be preferable to dedicate energy to helping struggling citizens rather than organizing political processes he deems unhelpful immediately. "Don't be distracted by this reconciliation story, but first take care of the people," he stated. The TIM founder also affirmed he remained willing to support any initiative serving the general interest. He invited everyone to question the reality of work accomplished by certain officials, denouncing what he calls hypocritical behavior. "Those showing hypocrisy toward this country will be judged by history. The people are not blind, they observe," he warned. Since the transition began, Ravalomanana has consistently affirmed supporting the current government. Nevertheless, through numerous public interventions, he has never hesitated to point out what he considers governance drifts or denounce situations directly affecting the population. Positions that have often resonated with many Malagasy, particularly sensitive to the economic and social difficulties the country currently faces.
