Huh? Oh yes, yes, at some point when the cup is full, it overflows.

Maintaining June 26th’s “sounds, water jets and lights” at all costs while the country is reeling from dozens of violent deaths, by intoxication or deliberate poisoning, for me, that’s not decency.

Daring to talk about development when in the capital the population no longer even has water or electricity, for me, that’s not decency.

Daring to talk about a happy population, when the poverty line is now set at more than €80 per month, where is the decency? How many people earn €80, 400,000 ar per month?

Methodically impoverishing all Malagasy people for 16 years, sabotaging the economy, businesses, roads, energy…

Rotting mentalities, ensuring that the middle class no longer exists, can we be decently proud of these “exploits“? Apparently so.

Sacrificing an entire country, its entire population, just for one’s own petty ego and desperately trying to demonstrate that one is no worse than anyone else, is that decency?

Is it really reasonable… and decent to systematically blame others for one’s misdeeds and failings, and always to blame oneself for miserable, always unrealistic achievements?

Is it really decent to sell off the country to dubious investors, initiate mining projects without much understanding of the environmental consequences, or expropriate one’s compatriots for 5-star hotels?

Everyone will have their own idea of development. As well as that of decency, and especially of the lives of others, which seems to be of little value in this country.

Pretending to care about the fate of one’s compatriots, when clearly one doesn’t give a damn, indeed, some people really dare to do anything…

And finally, last point but not least: taking advantage of underdevelopment to appear like a savior messiah with kovetaveta and Cantonese rice—seriously, have we sunk that low into indecency?

Do we need this to exist, to be the first… among the last?

At some point, we have to stop being indecent and have the true decency to throw in the towel when we see that we’re clearly not cut out for the job.

Because when we only have the army, the forces of repression, and the silencing of dissenting voices to maintain our power, it’s because we haven’t even understood what the word decency means.

Decency: respect for what concerns good morals and conventions.
