JAKARTA – The European Union is closely monitoring the developing situation in Madagascar and calling for dialogue between all parties involved.
We highlight developments in Madagascar. We continue to closely monitor the ongoing situation in the country. We call for dialogue between all relevant parties to return to democratic values,” said Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs of the European Commission, Anouar El Anouni, Friday, October 17.
On Tuesday (14/10), Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina was impeached after leaving the country amid a massive wave of protests, while the military took power.
Colonel Michael Randrianirina, who now serves as the new leader of Madagascar, said he would become head of state during the two-year transition period.
During that period, the transitional government plans to hold a referendum to ratify the new constitution, which will be followed by a presidential election.
A wave of protests in Madagascar began in late September due to widespread power and water outages.
The demonstrators demanded the resignation of the government, which later developed into pressure for President Rajoelina to resign.
