"This can be interpreted as a political approach because it is a party leader who is waging this battle, but in reality, we must above all consider the historical, cultural, and educational aspects of this approach, which we consider to be a patriotic act. Marking this Republic Day annually on a national scale is to provide a permanent reference point for this Nation, which has been completely disoriented following a series of human errors over decades. By wanting to wipe out President Tsiranana's First Republic at all costs, we are deliberately erasing the date of October 14, 1958, from the collective memory. Since then, we have been in a dangerous illogical situation because by constantly talking about independence and national sovereignty without recalling that there is the Republic with all its values, we are administering a Nation that is missing one of its main historical roots, and this is very bad because we are currently experiencing the consequences."
