4 | A new legislative initiative by Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa is facing a setback this week, following protests in several cities and a visit from Pope Francis, who sought to calm the country's political atmosphere. | Tamin'ity herinandro ity, taorian'ireo hetsi-panoherana tany amin'ny tanàna maro sy ny fitsidihan'ny Papa Francis, sendra ny taolana ny fikasana iray vaovaon'ny Filoha Ekoatoriana Rafael Correa hametraka lalàna vaovao, izay nikatsaka ny hilaminan'ny rivotra politika tao amin'ny firenena. |
5 | President Correa's draft law would impose a progressive tax on inheritances greater than $35,400 and a 75 percent tax on “surplus profits” associated with capital gains and real estate. | Mety hametraka hetra mitombo an-dàlana amin'ny raharaha fandovàna mitentina hatramin'ny 35.400 dolara sy hetra 75 isanjato amin'ny tombony azo avy amin'ny renivola sy ny fananantany ilay volavolan-dalàna napetraky ny Filoha Correa. |
6 | Despite the problems with the legislation, President Correa first vowed to hold his ground. | Na eo aza ny olana amin'ny lalàna, nivoady ny tsy hiala amin'ny heviny ny Filoha Correa. |
7 | On June 15, after a week of protests, the President promised not to back down “one inch” from new taxes he says would affect only the “oligarchy”: | Ny 15 Jona, taorian'ny hetsi-panoherana iray naharitra herinandro, nampanantena ny Filoha fa tsy hihemotra na “indray mandingana” aza amin'ireo hetra vaovao izay lazainy fa “olom-bitsy mpanankarena” ihany no hiharany : |
8 | If there is proof that the Inheritance and Capital Gains laws affect the extremely poor and middle class, I myself will ask the [National] Assembly for the archive of the laws. | Raha misy porofo fa mahakitika ny saranga mahantra indrindra sy ny antonontonony ilay Lalàna momba ny Fandovàna sy ny Tombony amin'ny Renivola, izaho mihitsy no hangatana ny Antenimiera [-mpirenena] hampirina ireo lalàna ireo. |
9 | […] You want to remove the president? | […] Te-hanaisoatra ny filoha va ianareo? |
10 | Call for a referendum and I will come out on top time and again. | Mampanaova fitsapankevi-bahoaka dia mbola hivoaka hisongadina ery an-tampony ery indray aho. |
11 | Two hours after this announcement, however, Correa's position changed. | Ora roa taorian'ilay fanambaràna anefa dia niova hevitra i Correa. |
12 | That night, in his “Message to the Nation, Correa addressed the nation, saying he would temporarily withdraw the tax initiative, in order to ensure a “peaceful and joyous” environment during Pope Francis' visit. | Iny alina iny, tao anatin'ny “Hafany ho an'ny Firenena” dia nilaza tamin'ny firenena i Correa fa hosintoniny vonjimaika aloha ilay tolodalàna momba ny hetra, mba hiantohana ny hisian'ny tontolo “mandry fahalemana sy ravoravo” mandritry ny fitsidihan'ny Papa Francis. |
13 | Protests and political opposition to the tax hikes has not dissipated, however. | Kanefa, tsy nisinda ireo fihetsiketsehana sy fanoherana ara-politika an-ilay fampiakàrana hetra. |
14 | Large demonstrations were held throughout the country on June 18 and June 25, and the political collective Democracia Sí is asking for a referendum on Correa's office, threatening the President with losing his job. | Nisy fihetsiketsehana goavana natao nanerana ny firenena ny 18 sy 25 Jona, ary notakian'ny fiaraha-mientana politika Democracia Sí ny hanaovana fitsapankevitra momba ny fitantanan'i Correa, loza mitatao mety hahavery asa ny filoha. |
15 | Many voters continue to express concerns about the class impact of the proposed tax increases, asking questions about the redistribution of wealth and the possible harm to property ownership in Ecuador. | Maro amin'ireo mpifidy no manohy miahiahy momba ny ho fiantraikan'ireo tolodalàna fampiakarana hetra any amin'ny sarangam-piarahamonina any, manontany momba ny fitsinjarana ny harena sy ny dona mafy mety hanjo ireo tompom-panànana miorina ao Ekoatora. |
16 | Since early June, social causes that began as hashtags online (such as#FueraCorreaFuera, or “CorreaOUT,” and #SigueCorreaSigue, or “CorreaIN”) have found their way to the streets, inspiring mass protests, as well as demonstrations of support for President Correa and the ruling party: | Tany ampiandohan'ny Jona, tafidina teny an'arabe ny olana sosialy izay nanomboka tamin'ny tenifototra tety anaty aterineto (toy ny #FueraCorreaFuera, na “MIALACorrea,” sy #SigueCorreaSigue, na “MIJANONACorrea”), nanosika ireo hetsi-bahoaka, hatramin'ny fihetsiketsehana ho fanohanana ny Filoha Correa sy ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana: |
17 | You don't need a revolution and to change everything in the name of progress; you just need to leave people in peace. | Tsy mila revolisiona iray sy manova ny zavatra rehetra ianao, amin'ny anaran'ny fivoarana. ; ny miala mandao am-pilaminana ny vahoaka fotsiny ihany no ilainao. |
18 | Towards job creation and productivity in Ecuador | Mankany amin'ny famoronana asa sy ny fampitomboana vokatra eto Ekoatora |
19 | The government's only recourse is to force civil servants to go out and march against the opposition. | Ny hany sisa azon'ny governemanta atao dia ny manery ny mpiasam-bahoaka hivoaka sy hanao diabe hiatrika ireo mpanohitra. |
20 | Oposición golpista [Opposition in favor of a coup], listen: We work. | Oposición golpista [Mpanohitra mankasitraka ny fanonganana], henoy : Miasa isika. |
21 | We don't inherit anything. | Tsy mandova na inona na inona. |
22 | Although the road to change is a tough one, I'm with you, my President | Na iray isan'ny henjana be aza ny lalàna mankany amin'ny fiovàna, miaraka aminao aho, ry filohako |
23 | Backwards, let me tell you, CUENCA defends this Revolutionary process. | Ry tsy ampy kely, aleo lazaiko anareo, miaro ity dingana Revolisionera ity ny CUENCA. |
24 | Time to move forward!! | Fotoana izao hirosoana!! |
