Citizens of this country tend to believe that regional inequality exists. Not only are the infrastructure not distributed in a balanced manner in the localities, but certain regions feel marginalized by the central power.
Three years ago, journalist Hilda Hasinjo, invited to a televised debate on a channel in the capital, said: “So far, Antananarivo considers himself the navel of the country. More than 10 billion ariary are devoted to the construction of infrastructure in the city of a thousand, while the annual budget of a region, such as Androy for example, does not exceed 2 billion Ariary. »»
It is a well -established habit: the regions sacrificed themselves for the three million souls of Antananarivo, barely 10 % of the Malagasy population. This inequality fuels a deep feeling of frustration. This favoritism was also denounced by the deputy of Madagascar elected to Diego I, during the world celebration of the fight against child labor, Friday July 18 in Antsiranana. “” Why are 50 kg rice bags delivered in certain places, when others receive only a plastic bag? »»he wondered in a firm voice, referring to the social assistance distributed during the Cavid-19 pandemic.
Dimitri Veloniaina, specialist in social and political sciences, advances an explanation: ” The leaders refer to electoral geography. They invest more in densely populated areas. »» But if this is really the objective, where did social equality and equal opportunities go?
In addition, many citizens still do not understand the establishment of an urban transport cable. For them, their children and grandchildren are heavily indebted because of infrastructure perceived as flashy and superficial.
Meanwhile, the alleys of the capital, certainly damaged, seem to constitute a national priority, to the detriment of the national roads which deteriorate day after day, becoming impracticable.
In the regions, many incidents are stifled, talents remain invisible, business is dismissed … It is therefore surprising, so that so many compatriots leave their land to join Tana: it is to escape the dark.
