Faced with unconvincing, even sterile play from the ruling team, some of its supporters are thinking about extra time. Trial Balloon on the Sidelines of the World Cup The constitutional deadline of "at least 30 and at most 60 days" to hold a new presidential election could not be respected by the Refoundation regime. This occurred even though it acknowledged the Decision dated October 14, 2025, from the HCC which set this "dead line," without succeeding in enforcing it. The constitutional judge should, on the contrary, have issued an opinion that postponing the presidential election is possible, reluctantly setting time limits. Thus operating a reversal from its initial Decision which states that "the constituent does not intend to entrust the powers of the President of the Republic to authorities who are not their rightful holders for an extended period." These authorities gave themselves, or rather took, a period of 24 months for the Refoundation. A timeframe deemed too short by the advocates of "Fanavaozana" who are now pushing the PRRM to keep the ball in order to play extra time, or even reach the penalty shootout. We await the reaction of the... guardian of the Constitution, namely the HCC, if the duration of the Refoundation goes beyond the 24-month regulatory period set by PRRM decree itself. Exactly nine months after the HCC's Decision which "invites the competent military authority, embodied by Colonel Randrianirina Michaël, to exercise the functions of head of state," the ultras among his supporters are inviting him to play extra time. A true trial balloon directed at the international community, which is closely following the passes and tackles on the field. It is also a trial balloon addressed to the Malagasy people, who are not even spectators but often serve as the ball itself. A ball—different from the Trionda at the World Cup—that the team in place intends to keep for as long as possible, strong in its position as "tompon-baolina," without necessarily being master of the game.
