3 | The lead-up to Trinidad and Tobago's 2015 general elections is proving to be one of the most curious displays of political wrangling yet. | Ireo fiomankomanana ho amin'ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka ao Trinidad sy Tobago amin' ity 2015 ity no manaporofo ny maha-mbola zavatra iray mahaliana indrindra ny adilahy politika. |
4 | Thus far, Jack Warner, the disgraced former vice president of FIFA who was once the current administration's blue-eyed boy, has been releasing all sorts of compromising information about the country's prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, and her political cohorts. | Hatreto aloha, i Jack Warner, ilay filoha lefitra taloha voaongotra tamin'ny toerany tao amin'ny FIFA izay efa indray mandeha no nahafatifaty ny mpitantana ankehitriny, no namoaka izao karazana vaovao mamatopatotra rehetra izao momba ny praiminisitry ny firenena, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, sy ireo mpiara-dia aminy ara-politika. |
5 | With the election date set for September 7, Trinbagonians have been preparing themselves for what may well turn out to be the dirtiest election season ever. | Miaraka amin'ny fametrahana ny datin'androm-pifidianana ho ny 7 Septambra, efa miomana ihany koa ireo Trinbagoniana ny amin'ny mety hivadihan'izany ho ny fotoam-pifidianana faran'izay maloto indrindra nisy tany aminy. |
6 | While the race seems set between the twin island republic's two main political parties - the prime minister's United National Congress (which leads the current coalition government) and the opposition People's National Movement, Warner's political bombs have been throwing a spoke in the wheel. | Raha toa ka ireo antoko politika goavana roa eo amin'ny nosy ihany no toa tena tazana mifaninana - ny an'ny praiminisitra, United National Congress ( Kaongresy Nasionaly Mitambatra, izay mitarika ny governemanta iaraha-mitantana amin'izao fotoana izao) sy ny an'ny mpanohitra People's National Movement (Hetsi-Bahoaka Nasionaly), dia ny baomba ara-politikan'i Warner kosa no rantsan-kazo mampitohana ny kodiarana. |
7 | Public scepticism was understandable therefore, when, two months before elections, a new party emerged, chaired by the former president of the senate, Timothy Hamel-Smith, and calling itself by the unfortunate name of The Third Force Movement. | Azo notakarina an-tsaina ihany ny ahiahin'ny olona naterak'izany, rehefa, roa volana alohan'ny fifidianana, teraka ny antoko politika iray vaovao, izay tarihan'ilay filoha fahiny tao amin'ny antenimieran-doholona, Timothy Hamel-Smith, ary miseho amin'ny anarana mampalahelo hoe “The Third Force Movement” (Hetsiky ny Hery Fahatelo). |
8 | Among its members are the National Alliance for Reconstruction, a political entity that governed Trinidad and Tobago from 1986-1991 but has since been unable to sustain any level of relevance, and a group calling itself the Alliance of Independents, mostly comprising former members of the Congress of the People (another party in the People's Partnership government) and the United National Congress. | Isan'ny mpikambana ao anatiny ny Fiaraha-mientana Nasionaly ho Fanarenana, vondrona politika iray nitantana an'i Trinidad sy Tobago ny 1986 hatramin'ny 1991 saingy hatramin'izay dia tsy nahavita intsony niaka-tsehatra nitondra zavatra mitombina, ary vondrona iray mitonona ho Vovonan'ny Mahaleotena, ahtàna betsaka kokoa ireo mpikambana fahiny tao amin'ny Kaongresim-Bahoaka (antoko politika iray isan'ny ao anatin'ny governemantam-bahoaka iarahana mitantana) sy ny Kaongresy Nasionaly Mitambatra. |
9 | The group got off to an unintentionally comical start. | Fanombohana mahatsikaiky tsy niniany natao no niaingàn'ilay vondrona. |
10 | Many netizens used the Trinbagonian penchant for pronouncing “th” as “t” to rechristen the group “The Turd Force”, complete with jokes about toilets and strained bowel movements. | Maro tamin'ny mpisera ety anaty aterineto no naka ilay fomba Trinbagoniana amin'ny fanononana ny “th” ho “t”, hanovàna anarana ilay vondrona ho “The Turd Force”, fenoina aminà vazivazy mikasika ireo toeram-pivoahana sy ireo fihetsiky ny tsinay miolankolana. |
11 | Public critique of the logo did not fare much better; Facebook user Rhoda Bharath shared this photo on her timeline: | Tsy tsara loatra ny kiana nataon'ny olona momba ilay fango; nizara ity sary ity tao amin'ny fitohitohizan-keviny ao amin'ny Facebook i Rhoda Bharath : |
12 | A meggie is basically a derisive finger gesture intended to make the recipient feel belittled; the rising sun is the logo of the United National Congress. | Soratra anatin'ny sary: Fa dia ahoana no nahatonga itony olona itony aminà fango tahaka izao. Maivan-danja sy toy ny meggie. |
13 | Others couldn't help but notice a Star Trek parallel in the logo: | Misy masoandro miposaka koa ao ambadik'ilay tànana … Mba miteny fotsiny. Fa izany eo ihany, mila vahaolana vitsivitsy tena mahomby ny politika eto Trinidad. |
14 | Poor design, coupled with a big technical blunder that involved Google searches for the new party's website redirecting users to the United National Congress webpage, added to the… ahem…shit storm surrounding The Third Force Movement. | Raha iray io dia tsara ho azy ireo izany! Ny meggie dia fihetsika ampiasàna ny rantsan-tànana ho entina maneso/manambany izay olona iantefany; ary ny masoandro miposaka dia fangon'ny Kaongresy Nasionaly Mitambatra. |
15 | In a public post on Facebook, Carbon the Element posted a video of the search results, anticipating that the link would soon be inactive: | Tsy vitan'ny hafa ny tsy hahamarika hoe misy itoviany amin'ny an'ny Star Trek ilay fango : |
16 | | Endrika mahonena, nampivadiana taminà hadalàna teknika tsy nasiam-pitandremana tao amin'ny fikarohan'ny Google ho an'ny tranonkalan'ilay antoko politika vaovao izay mamily ireo mpitsidika ho any amin'ny pejin'ny Kaongresy Nasionaly Mitambatra, manampy ny … pfffff … diky fafy katrana manodidina ny Hetsiky ny Hery Fahatelo. |
17 | #3rdFarceTha hubris is strong with this farce… They won't even update their DNS or maybe pay Godaddy/Hostgator the small $$$ for hosting. They in a folder prolly on their ‘home website'. | Tao anaty famoahana iray natao ho hitan'ny daholobe tao amin'ny Facebook, nandefa lahatsary iray i “Carbon the Element” momba ny valin'ny fikarohany, no sady efa niomana mialoha fa tsy hiasa intsony ilay rohy afaka fotoana fohy : |
18 | From “don't split the vote” to “what can we do to split the vote?” - one party talking bout manifestos and plans the other party is doing all it can to steal the election because they bought it the last time… | Henjana be ny TsyFanajan'ny#3rdFarce tamin'ity vazivazy ratsy ity… Tsy hanova akory na dia ny DNS ndry zareo aza ry zareo na angamba tsy handoa na dia izay $$$ vola kely tokony haloany amin'ny Godaddy/Hostgator amin'ny fampiantranoana azy. |
19 | Posted by Carbon TheElement on Saturday, July 4, 2015 | Nanoratra ry zareo ao amin'ny ‘pejy fandraisan'ny tranonkalany'. |
20 | Using the hashtag #3rdFarce, he commented: Tha hubris is strong with this farce… They won't even update their DNS or maybe pay Godaddy/Hostgator the small $$$ for hosting. | Avy amin'ny hoe “aza zarazaraina ny vato” ho lasa hoe “inona no azontsika atao hitsinjarazaràna ny vato?” - Antoko iray miresaka momba ireo fanambaràna politka no sady manomana izay rehetra azo atao mba hangalarana vato satria nividy izany izy ireo tamin'ny farany teo |
21 | They in a folder prolly on their ‘home website'. | Tamin'ny fampiasàna ny tenifototra #3rdFarce, hoy izy naneho hevitra : |
22 | | Henjana be ny TsyFanajan'ny#3rdFarce tamin'ity vazivazy ratsy ity… Tsy hanova akory na dia ny DNS ndry zareo aza ry zareo na angamba tsy handoa na dia izay $$$ vola kely tokony haloany amin'ny Godaddy/Hostgator amin'ny fampiantranoana azy… |
23 | The party was quick to state, via a media release, that it had been the target of a “cyber attack where pranksters appear to have created a domain name that masquerades as the Third Force Movement without authorization, and have forwarded that domain name to another political party's web site for mischievous purposes”. | Tsy ela tamin'ny filazàny ilay antoko, tamin'ny alàlan'ny fanambaràna an-gazety, hoe niharan'ny “fanafihana tety anaty aterineto izay toa namoronan'ireo pranksters anaran-tsehatra iray tsy nahazoana alàlana ary misalovana ny an'ny Hetsiky ny Hery Fahatelo, sy namindra izany anaran-tsehatra izany ho an'ny tranonkala iray hafan'ny antoko politika mba hanaovana zava-tsy manjary”. |
24 | Whether this is true or not, the party now finds itself having to deflect allegations of being a puppet of the ruling party, charged with the mission of splitting the vote come September 7, in an election that is already shaping up to be too close to call. | Na marina na tsia izany, voatery ankehitriny ilay antoko mitady izay hamafàna ireo fiahiahiana azy ho saribakolin'ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana, nomena iraka hanao izay hampizarazara ny vato amin'ny 7 Septambra, aminà fifidianana iray izay efa novolavolaina sahady hao anaty fotoana faran'izay akaiky ny fiantsoana azy. |
25 | The Third Force Movement's chair Timothy Hamel-Smith has also come under fire from the opposition leader with regard to a controversial addition to Section 34 of the Indictable Offences Act in 2012. | Niantefan'ny tifitry ny mpitarika ny fanoherana ihany koa i Timothy Hamel-Smith, filohan'ny Hetsiky ny Hery Fahatelo, mahakasika indrindra ilay fanampiana ny Artikla faha-34 miteraka resabe amin'ilay Lalàna tamin'ny 2012 momba ny Fandikàn-Dalàna Azo Enjehana. |
26 | The clause was supposedly intended to stop prosecution of those whose trial has been delayed for up to 10 years after the alleged offence was committed. | Ilay andàlana dia noheverina ho natao hanafoanana ny fanenjehana ireo manana raharaham-pitsarana nasiana fanemorana efa ho 10 taona mahery taorian'ny filàzana ny fisian'ny heloka nambara ho nataony. |
27 | While blood crimes are exempt, the amendment could have made it possible for two businessmen - also ruling party financiers - who are facing fraud and money laundering charges and are wanted for extradition by the United States, to go free. | Raha tsy tafiditra amin'io ny heloka nandatsahan-drà, dia mety hanafaka madiodio mpandraharaha roa ilay fanitsiana - mpandraharaha izay mpamatsy vola ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana rahateo koa, izay miatrika vesatra noho ny fanaovana hosotra sy famotsiam-bola maloto ary naniry ny hampodiana azy avy any Etazonia. |
28 | Dr. Keith Rowley reminded the citizenry that when asked to investigate the circumstances surrounding the introduction of the new clause, Hamel-Smith, who was acting president at the time, could find “nothing out of the ordinary”. | Nampahatsiahy ny olom-pirenena ny Dr. Keith Rowley fa rehefa nangatahana hanao fanadihadiana ny zava-nisy nanodidina ny fotoana nampidirana ilay andàlana vaovao i Hamel-Smith, izay filoha amperinasa tamin'izany fotoana izany, dia nilaza ho “tsy nahita zavatra hafahafa “. |
29 | The Section 34 clause has since been repealed. | Nanomboka tamin'izany ny Artila faha-34 no efa nofoanana. |
30 | In another curious twist, the group is pushing procurement and campaign finance reform on its political platform, but has refused to divulge the identity of its financiers. | Amin'ny endrika iray hafa, eo amin'ny sehatra politika misy azy dia manosika fanavaozana ny famatsiana azy sy ny ho fanohanana ara-bola ny fampielezankevitra ilay vondrona, saingy nandà tsy hampahafantatra ny mombamomba ireo mpanohana azy ara-bola. |
31 | No wonder then, that for many netizens, this new party just seems like more of the same in Trinidad and Tobago politics. | Tsy mahagaga araka izany, ho an'ny maro mpisera ety anaty aterineto, raha toa ka tahàka ireo maro efa misy ao Trinidad sy Tobago ihany ity antoko politika vaovao ity. |
