1Martinique: On independence and French “paternalism”Martinika: momba ny fahaleovantena sy ny “fifehezana” frantsay
2Martinique blogger le blog de [moi] [FR], in another post on the ongoing workers' movement in Martinique and Guadeloupe, takes issue with Christophe Barbier, opinion editor of the French news magazine, L'Express.Mpamaham-bolongana Martinique le blog de [moi] [FR], any amin'ny lahatsoratra hafa mikasika ny fihetsiketsehan'ny mpiasa any Martinique sy Guadeloupe, no niady hevitra tamin'i Christophe Barbier, mpanao matoandahatsoratra ao amin'ny gazety boky frantsay , L'Express.
3In a recent interview on the radio show C dans l'air, Barbier responded to an SMS from a listener who asked, “Why don't we just grant the overseas departments their independence?”Nandritra ny resadresaka tamina radio antsoina hoe C dans l'air, no namalian'i Barbier ny fanontaniana tamin'ny alalan'ny SMS nataon'ny mpihaino iray manao hoe, “ Nahoana moa isika no tsy manome fahaleovantena fotsiny izao ireo departemanta ampitandranomasina ireo?”
4Barbier replied:Novalian'i Barbier hoe:
5“(…) Whether it becomes a tourist factory for Americans, immediately fall under the control of local mafias who [bring about] the whitening [of the country], or a new Haiti, independence is not possible without economic prosperity!“(…) Dia na lasa orinasam-pizahatany ho an'ny Amerikana ry zareo na lasa eo ampelatanan'ny mafia ao an-toerana hanadiovan-dry zareo ny lalam-bola tsy ara-dalàna ka dia ho lasa Haiti vaovao. Tsy tontosa ny fahaleovantena raha tsy miroborobo ny toekarena!
6It would immediately become a dependent of another country which would be worse than being a dependent of France.”Fa raha tsy izany dia lasa hisy fiankinandoha ratsy kokoa noho ny fiankinana tamin'ny repoblika frantsay teo.”
7le blog de [moi] is livid:rangitra i le blog de [moi]:
8Really Christophe Barbier????Tena izany ve ry Christophe Barbier????
9“It”?!!!“izany”?!!!
10And here, let me tell you, frankly (and those who have been reading me for awhile know my position on the subject): there is good reason to become pro-independence! The remark, the condescending tone used, the disdain…it's all there!Dia tsoriko aminao, efa fantatry ny mpamaky ny lahatsoratro nandritra ny fotoana fohy ny hevitro mikasika ity lohahevitra ity: Betsaka ny hevitra hahatonga ahy hitaky ny fahaleovantena! eo ny teny, ny fomba fiteny, ny tsindry aloka, ny fanivaivana… ao daholo izany!
11Because if in the end one day we decide effectively to skip a step and become independence, that will be our choice, whatever the consequences, right!Satria raha hanapan-kevitra ny hahaleo tena izahay indray andro any dia safidinay izany na inona vokany na inona, mazava!
12After us [the French] chaos???Aorianay [Frantsay] ny korontana???
13Those big babies [the overseas departments] won't know how to defend themselves or avoid the obstacles attached to becoming a sovereign state?Tsy mahay miaro tena na midify ny takaitra avelan'ny sata mahafirenena manana fiandrianam-pireneny angaha ireo zazabe ireo?
14That's the sales pitch to explain why the overseas departments must stay in the lap of the French?Izany no mba fandresen-dahatra hanazavana ny antony tokony hijanonan'ny DOM-TOM ho ao anaty faribolana Frantsay?
15Jesus!Ô ry lanitra ô!
16In a comment, Elsie disagrees Barbier's comments were necessarily condescending:Ao amin'ny fanehoan-kevitra dia mihevitra i Elsie fa tsy voatery ho tsindry aloka tsy akory ny fanazavan'i Barbier:
17…Maybe all he wanted to say was that a country as small as Martinique (or Guadeloupe), in an environment as violent as the Caribbean, would have a hard time existing and keeping the drug lords and the gangs, rife in the region, at bay without the support of a great power (the United States instead of France?).…Mba te-hiteny fotsiny angamba izy fa tsy afa-mijoro tsara tsy manana ny fanohanan'ny tany vaventy ( Frantsa na Etazonia) ny firenena kely tahaka an'i Martinique (na Guadeloupe), ao anatin'ny tontolo mahery setran'i Karaiba ka tsy hanjakazaka eto an-toerana ny oloben'ny fivarotan-drongony sy ireo andian-jiolahy hafa.
18It's not a question of knowing whether the people who would lead the country would be competent or not, it's just to say that a small country, because of its military insignificance, can only live in the shadow of a larger country which protects it…Tsy any amin'ny fahaiza-manaon'izay mety hitondra ny firenena ny olana, fa mba ilazana hoe, noho ny hakelin'ny firenena, ny fahamaivanan-danjan'ny tafika ao aminy, dia tsy afa-miaina isika raha tsy eo ambany alokaloky ny firenen-dehibe iray hiaro…
19But Elsie does take issue with the idea that only France can offer that kind of protection.Ary dia nisafidianan'i Elsie fa i Frantsa irery ihany no afa-manolotra izany karazam-piarovana izany.
20wk de l'ile cites many examples where Barbier's comments ring true:Notsongain'i wk de l'ile ny ohatra maro anasongadinany fa marina eo ampihainoana ihany ny filazalazan'i Barbier:
21Frankly, I don't think what he said was paternalistic…he just spoke of a reality in a rather condensed, and indeed, abrupt way: “a tourist factory for Americans”: look at St. Lucia, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Montego Bay in Jamaica, Barbados…”under the control of local mafias who [bring about] the whitening [of the country]”: look at St. Martin, Anguilla…”a new Haiti”: no comment…Tena tsy hitako ny tsindry aloka amin'izay lazainy…somary narihidrihitra na nahitsihitsy ny nilazany ny zavamisy: “orinasam-pizahantany ho an'ny Amerikana”: jereo i Set. Lucie, ny Repoblika Dominikana, Montego Bay any Jamaika, Barbados…”eo ampelatanan'ny mafia ao an-toerana hampidirana ny vola azo tamin'ny tsy rariny ho ara-dalàna”: jereo St. Martin, Anguilla…” Haiti vaovao”: tsy anehoako hevitra…
22wk de l'ile continues:Nanohy ny resany i wk de l'ile:
23I must admit that, in the face of a certain contempt on the part of the government and when I read certain comments by readers of Le Monde, Le Figaro, La Libération…I am really fed up with seeing so much ignorance about who we are…Caribbean French…that I also have my own little pro-independence crisis…Manaiky aho fa tena leo mihitsy aho amin'ny tsy fahalalana anay… Frantsay aty Karaiba… miatrika ny fanivaivàna ataon'ny fanjakana rehefa mamaky ny hevitra aposaky ny mpamaky ao amin'ny Le Monde, Le Figaro, La Libération aho…ary dia manana ny krizy kelin'ny mba hahaleovantenan'ny firenenay…
24My only hope is that by taking an example from the successes and failures of the countries of our region, taking into account our unique history and our connections with mainland France, Africa and Asia, that we won't shoot ourselves in the foot and that we'll put in place institutions and an economic development that really takes into account who we are.Ny mba fanantenako rehefa voadinika ny fahadisoana sy ny fahombiazan'ny firenena eto amin'ny faritra misy antsika, rehefa tazonina ny tantara miavaka mampifandray antsika amin'ny tanibe, Afrika sy Azia, dia mba tsy hitifitra ny tongotsika (na hoe hamingana antsika) isika ary hametraka rafitra sy fampandrosoana ara-toe-karena maneho tokoa ny mahaisika antsika.
25Basing our political future on a closed identity, fed by nationalist ideology, is, in my opinion, a dangerous path.Lalana mampidi-doza ho antsika, araka ny hevitro, ny manorina ny ho avintsika ao anatin'ny fahafantarana mikatona, vokisan'ny fotokevitra nasionalista (mety hankahala vahiny).
26Let's make transcontinental Republic a reality (to cite Marlène Parize's beautiful concept)…Aleo velomina ihany ny repoblika tsy voafetran'ny kaontinanta (araka ny filazan-kevitra mahafinaritr'i Marlène Parize)…
