Huh, 5-star hotels again? We’ve been hearing this refrain for a while, but like Sister Anne and the 1,088 tons on the RN2, we still don’t see anything on the horizon.

Jet, set, and match

And this insistence on luxury confirms what we’ve always thought. Namely, the presidential jet set is absolutely determined to indulge in luxury tourism. Poor people, move along, there’s nothing for you to see.

We don’t care that there’s no water or electricity in this country; secure luxury resorts will of course have their own water and electricity infrastructure. With their own private security, of course.

Bumpy roads? That’s good for you, the plebs; the rich will come by yacht, jet, or helicopter.

The most beautiful spots will, of course, be reserved for this luxury clientele, those happy on minimum wage earners on €100. Move along, there’s nothing for you to see on the small privatized islands.

Well, my native friends, now you know where the presidential and government priorities lie: the rich and the well-off.

And the natives?

You bastards can stay in your shit, it’s the least of their worries. No more water, no more electricity, pro-maximum insecurity, well, you sort it out, my billionaire friends are waiting for me.

Halfway through the term, the masks have fallen. The 31 million beggars, male and female, don’t give a damn. A little tsinjo and famono here and there from time to time to release some pressure in the pressure cooker, and that’s it, youth.

And those who aren’t happy, hop, we’ll send the tonton macoutes repressive forces to put a stop to it all.

No matter the water and electricity cuts, the high cost of living, the pro-maximum insecurity, you shut your mouths and leave me alone with my rich friends, okay?

Rich friends who I have to impress: a flashy football stadium and a €150 million cable car.

But also a highway with barely 25 kilometers leveled in 3 years (50, we’re told; we’re asking to see where from where)

…. 250 meters of water jets, a restaurant on the water, a McDonald’s, pedal boats, and now 5-star hotels 🤣

And you can yell as much as you want, it will continue on its way, why would you want it to change course? No reason since sheep are so obedient, bleating remote-controlled “Thank you, Prezida.”

65 years of independence

That’s the reality, tompokolahy sy tompokovavy. Well, your 65 years of independence are wonderful, I must say. All that to arrive at this sham governance that actually doesn’t give a damn about you. They’re only interested in their own, it’s now proven.

And you think it’ll end in 2028? Uh no, I’m starting to hear whispers of a referendum… and you know very well what that means. Remember the “popular joy and jubilation” of 2010… it worked well, no reason why it shouldn’t work the same way again.

In short, nothing happened in 2009, eh? Well, apparently you’re still coping well since you’re saying nothing, doing nothing.

For my part, I’m planning my little summer vacation. Tsotra, milamina, mirindra, no need for a blingy 5-star destination, showing off pro max. And with all due respect to the angry people ejected from Actutana, my 8 cms and my passport allow me to go to 188 destinations where I would have water, electricity, roads and security 🤣
