"Observez comment poussent les plus belles fleurs: elles ne travaillent pas et ne tissent pas ; cependant [...] Salomon lui-même, dans toute sa gloire, n'a pas eu d'aussi belles tenues que l'une d'elles." Evangile selon Saint Matthieu 6:28-30🌹✨
La corruption ce n’est pas seulement un transfert transactionnel en flux monétaires en échange d’intérêts privés ou personnels, c’est aussi la distortion des informations, la désinformation volontaire et la diffusion d’une vérité selective par les medias, et une société civile
En tant que diplomate, on apprend à décortiquer tout sous 3 perspectives : 2 subjectives et une objective.
Tout n’est pas noir et tout n’est pas tout blanc (subjectif), il y a une vérité entre les deux.
Faire la part des choses, c’est arrêter de presenter de manière subjective

M. Renaud, cela fait depuis 2013 que les recensements à Madagascar ont oublié mon existence, alors si je pouvais voter demain, oui je voterai. Cette année encore ce droit m'a été enlevé par la règle de 6 mois de résidence.

Le processus COP est mort-né, comme il n’y a aucune intention des pays du nord à remplir leur responsabilité en tant que pollueurs, seulement une intention générale de continuer des prêts - et même concessionels, ceux-ci restent des dettes odieuses qu’il faut dénoncer.
There are relevant political elements for good enough policy orientations from both right and left.

Toujours d’actualité sur la définition d’un diplomate : un historien, un gardien de la moralité, de la paix et de la mémoire institutionnelle.

Le courant de la pensée générale est de réduire en mouton et de détruire l’esprit critique à travers l’argument du nombre.
Mais l’argument du nombre est illogique. Ce n’est pas parce qu’une majorité pense que A soit vrai que A soit forcément une vérité (objective).

C'est bien beau les déclarations mais compte tenu de la situation socio-économique de Madagascar et le contexte mondial actuel, Madagascar ne peut plus se permettre d'être dans une situation extra-constitutionnelle.
@ludomada91
Madagascar a besoin d'une nouvelle classe politique. Il faut commencer à alimenter ce débat et le faire circuler dans les réseaux sociaux. Après, il reste à savoir si la jeunesse veut s'affranchir de la gérontocratie et prête à prendre ses responsabilités.
Fundamentally, all governments have the fixed mentality to pursue the wrong paradigm of infinite growth because they fixed themselves on the post capitalist concept of “profits”.
Development is mainly about wellbeing, and corporate profits do not increase general wellbeing.

Outsourcing governance is depriving public services from developing specialization and to have ownership of their missions.
La désinformation est un sous-produit créé par l’absence généralisée de plateformes institutionnelles de communication et d’échanges fluides et transparents entre gouvernants et gouvernés. Mais aussi un signe inquiétant d’une distance grandissante entre gouvernants et gouvernés.

Assuming one’s role in society accordingly to their sex identity is a social fallacy.
