Hajo Andrianainarivelo, leader of the Malagasy Miara-Miainga party. Madagascar's justice system has barely concluded its consultation on judicial reform when ground reality strikes brutally. Growing citizen distrust of the judicial institution fuels a destructive spiral of self-defense. Faced with the gravity of the situation and recent dramatic events in Maintirano, Hajo Andrianainarivelo spoke yesterday to vigorously denounce this drift and propose emergency recovery measures. "During the events that occurred in Soanindrariny, Antsirabe II, last February, I had already alerted everyone that vigilante justice is in no way a solution. It is even an imminent danger for the country if we allow it to persist," the MMM party leader insisted. According to him, like the recent Maintirano tragedy, these drifts "only establish violence, revenge and fear, thus destroying peace and social harmony." Rule of Law For the political leader, restoring state authority and public confidence requires an immediate and complete reorganization of the judicial apparatus. "Madagascar's judicial system needs urgent reform to restore citizen confidence. This must begin from the investigation phase and continue until the verdict is pronounced," he firmly maintains. Hajo Andrianainarivelo emphasizes the necessity of transparent, impartial and equitable justice to "protect the innocent, punish the guilty in accordance with the law, and strengthen the rule of law." A clear message that resonates as a call for national awakening against institutional erosion.
