2 | This post is part of our special coverage Europe in Crisis. | |
3 | The official celebrations of October 5 in Portugal, a national holiday that celebrates the establishment of the republic in 1910, was marked this year by a symbolic and rather unfortunate act by President Cavaco Silva, who unintentionally hoisted the country's flag upside-down. | Nanamarika Ilay fankalazana ofisialy ny faha-5 oktobra tao Portiogaly, fetim-pirenena nanaganana ny repoblika ny taona 1910, ny fihetsika miavaka sy azo atao hoe mampalahelo nataon'ny Filoha Cavaco Silva, raha nampitsongoloka tsy nahy ny sainam-pirenena. |

6 | According to military conduct, the meaning of a flag being hoisted upside down is that a territory has been taken over by the enemy. | Araka ny lalàna miaramila, ny dikan'ny saina mitsongoloka dia hoe lasan'ny fahavalo ilay sisintany. |
7 | Article 332 of the Penal Code, condemns those who publicly “outrage national and regional symbols”, such as the flag, the national anthem or other emblems of Portuguese sovereignty, with imprisonment up to 2 years or a fine of up to 240 days. | Ny Andininy faha-332, amin'ny fehezan-dalàna ady heloka dia manameloka ireo izay “manala baraka ny mariky ny fiandrianam-pirenena na faritany” imasom-bahoaka, toy ny sainam-pirenena, ny hiram-pirenena na mari-piandrianam-pirenena portiogey hafa, sazy an-tranomaizina hatramin'ny 2taona na onitra mahatratra karama-na 240 andro. |

11 | A President hoists the flag of his country upside-down. | Filoha iray nampakatra ny sainam-pireneny mitsongoloka. |
12 | This act is loaded with symbolism. Even if it was involuntary. | Misy dikany lehibe izany fihetsika izany, eny fa na dia tsinahy aza. |
13 | This President has accustomed us to acts devoid of meaning, intention and soul. | Nanazatra antsika tamin'ny fanaovana fihetsika tsy misy dikany , tsy misy eritreritra ary tsy amim-panahy ity filoha ity. |
14 | An inverted flag is a sign of a country victim of a coup, a ship seized by pirates. | Mariky ny firenena niharan'ny fanonganam-panjakana ny saina mivadika, na sambo azon'ny piraty. |
15 | It is a request for assistance caused by a violent and illegitimate seizure of power, the loss of autonomy and freedom. | Fitadiavam-panampiana noho ny fakana tamin-kery sy tsy manara-dalàna ny fahefana, fahaverezan'ny fahaleovantena sy ny fizakan-tena izany. |
16 | Portugal was taken by a government that defends foreign interests, by a troika [formed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), European Central Bank and the European Commission (EC)] that wants to create an army of European slaves, by false politicians who protect adverse economic interests. | Azon'ny governemanta mpiaro ny tombontsoa vahiny i Portiogaly, ny troika [ivondronan'ny Tahirim-bola Iraisam-pirenena FMI, ny Banky foibe eoropeana ary ny Vaomiera Eoropeana ] izay te-hanangana andian' andevo eoropeana, amin'ny alalan'ireo mpanao politika sandoka miaro ny tombontsoa ara-toe-karen'ny mpifaninana. |
17 | Cavaco Silva doesn't get too worn out by defending the interest of the Portuguese. | Tsy te hisasatra loatra i Cacavo Silva hiaro ny tombontsoan'ny Portiogey. |
18 | Unintentionally, he has made the most symbolic and disturbing act that accompanies the celebration of the Republic. | Na tsy iniana aza , nanao ny fihetsika nanohina indrindra izy nandritra ny fankalazana ny Repoblika. |
19 | The Republic is coming to an end. So does democracy. | Manakaiky ny faran'ny Repoblika , sy ny demokrasia. |
20 | The flag should remain inverted. | Tokony hijanona hitsongoloka ilay sainam-pirenena. |
21 | I would even thank him for the irony, but I'm tired of putting up with his nonsense. | Misaotra azy ihany aho tamin'ny fanesoany, saingy leon'ny fahadalany aho. |
22 | A year and a half ago, Global Voices reported on the “bailout” of public debt entering into effect, quoting artivist Miguel Januário who ironically suggested an “update [to] the Portuguese flag, together with the increase of the length of the national anthem to two times (…) to keep up with the reality of [the] country”. | Herintaona sy tapany izay ny teto amin'ny Global Voices nitatitra mikasika ilay “fanavotana” ny trosam-panjakana ho manan-kery, nanatsonga ilay mpanakanto sady mpitolona Miguel Januario izay nanoso-kevitra tamim-panesoana ny “fanavaozana haharaka ny vaninandro ny sainam-pirenena Portiogey, sy hiaraka hampitombo ho roa heny ny halavan'ny hiram-pirenena(…) mba hifanaraka marina amin'ny zava-misy ao amin'ny firenena” |
23 | After this year's October 5, creative updates to the flag, as seen in the image above, and to the national anthem, as can be heard below, started popping up on social media. | Nanomboka niverimberina tany amin'ny fampitan'olo-tsotra vaovao , taorian'ny 5 Oktobra tamin'ity taona ity, ny famoronana fanavaozana ny sainam-pirenena, toy ny hitantsika amin'ny sary eto ambony, sy ny hiram-pirenena, tahaka ny henontsika eto ambany. |
24 | Many people have also updated their online profiles and avatars with upside-down imagery. | Nanavao ny sarintavany an-tserasera mitsongoloka ihany koa ny maro. |
25 | “Happy anniversary upside down republic “¡ɔıןqndǝɹ ǝʌıן ƃuoן” Poster by Gui Castro Felga published on the blog Ministério da Contra-propaganda. | Afisy “Miarahaba ny tsingerintaonan'ny repoblika mivadika “¡ɔıןqndǝɹ ǝʌıן ƃuoן” nataon'i Gui Castro Felga nivoaka tao amin'ny bilaogy Ministério da Contra-propaganda.” |
26 | This year it was the last time that the country will celebrate the date as a national holiday - a measure announced earlier in 2012 in order to increase the number of working days. | Tamin'ity taona ity, no fotoana farany hankalazan'ny firenena ny datin'ny fetim-pirenena - fepetra voalaza efa elaela tamin'ity taona 2012 ity entina hampitomboana ny isan'ny andro iasàna. |
27 | For the first time in 102 years the official celebrations did not take place in the Municipal Square in Lisbon for security reasons, as reported on i newspaper (whose cover on October 6 was also turned upside down), and were displaced instead to a closed space called Pátio da Galé. | Sambany tao anatin'ny 102 taona, tsy notontosaina teo amin'ny kianja Monisipaly tao Lisbon ny fankalazana ofisialy noho ny antony fiarovana, araka ny notaterin'ny gazety i (izay natsongolony ihany koa ny fonony tamin'ny 6 Oktobra) ary nafindra tao amin'ny tahala mifefy antsoina hoe Patio da Galé. |
28 | Even so, two women in protest have succeeded in shaking the events: one interrupted the end of the President's speech with desperate complaints, and another one recited a resistance song titled Firmeza (Firmness) by Fernando Lopes-Graça. | Na teo aza izany, nahavita nanozongozona ny lanonana ny vehivavy roa avy amin'ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana: ny iray nahatapaka ny faran-kabary tamin'ny alalan'ny fitarainana mahonena, ny iray hafa kosa namerina ny tononkiran'ny fijoroana (resistance) mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Firmeza” (mivonkona) an'i Fernando Lopez-Graça |
29 | The blog Casa das Aranhas posted [pt] (with photos) about the series of protesting events that took place throughout the day, including a demonstration in front of the Assembly of the Republic, which had been called on Facebook and ended with the detention of protesters. | Ny bilaogy Casa das Aranhas namoaka [pt] (miaraka amin'ny sary) ny hetsika fanoherana nisesisesy izay nitranga nandritra ny andro, tao anatin'izany ny fihetsiketsehana manoloana ny Antenimieran'ny Repoblika, izay nifampiantsoina tao amin'ny Facebook ary nifarana tamin'ny fisamborana ireo nanao fihetsiketsehana. |
