1 | Diplomatic Passports for Religious Representatives in Brazil? | Fanakianana Ny Pasipaoro Diplaomatika Ho An'Ireo Solontea Ara-pinoana Ao Brezila |
2 | Recently a lively debate has been ignited in Brazil after the country's Ministry of External Relations, known as Itamaraty, issued two diplomatic passports [pt] to the heads of the evangelical Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus (World Church of the Power of God) pastor Valdemiro Santiago de Oliveira and his wife Franciléia de Castro Gomes de Oliveira. | Vao haingana tao Bezila no nisy adihevitra mafàna natao taorian'ny namoahan'ny Minisitry ny Fifandraisana Amin'ny Any Ivelany, fantatra amin'ny hoe Itaramaty, pasipaoro diplaomatika roa [pt] ho an'ireo pasitora mpitarika ny fiangonana evanjelika Igreja Mundial do Poder de Deus (Fiangonana Manerantanin'ny Fahefan'Andriamanitra), Valdemiro Santiago de Oliveira sy ny vadiny Franciléia de Castro Gomes de Oliveira. |
3 | The concession of diplomatic passports is regulated in Brazil by constitutional Decree 5.978 [pt] which determines that these official documents can be issued to presidents, vice- presidents, ministers, congressmen, heads of diplomatic missions, ministers of the supreme court and former presidents. | Ny fanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika ao Brezila dia fehezin'ny Andininy faha 5.978 [pt] ao amin'ny lalàm-panorenana, izay mamaritra fa ireto antontan-taratasy telo ofisialy ireto dia afaka omena ireo filoha, filoha lefitra, minisitra, mpikambana amin'ny kaongresy, filohanà iraka diplaomatika, minisitry ny fitsarana ambony sy ireo filoha tany aloha. |
4 | However, diplomatic passports have also been traditionally conceded to representatives of the Catholic Church, based on the interpretation of Article 6, Paragraph 3: | Kanefa, hatrizay ihany koa, dia nomena ho an'ireo solontenan'ny fiangonana katolika ny pasipaoro diplaomatika, miainga avy amin'izay lazain'ny artikla faha-6, paragrafy faha-3: |

6 | …to people who, although not listed in this article, need to attain it while fulfilling a role of interest for the country. | …ho an'ireo olona izay, na dia tsy voatanisa ao anatin'ity artikla ity aza, mila manana izany rehefa mahafeno ny andraiktra ho amin'ny tombontsoan'ny firenena. |
7 | Although, as mentioned above, Catholic Church cardinals have benefited from this concession, other religious institutions recognized by the Brazilian state are not excluded from the application for diplomatic passports and indeed other evangelical representatives, such as controversial pastor Edir Macêdo, leader of Brazil's Igreja Universal (Universal Church) have received diplomatic passports in the past. | Na dia araka ny voalaza etsy ambony aza hoe ny kardinaly avy amin'ny fiangonana Katolika no misitraka ity fanomezana ity, tsy voahilika amin'izany fanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika izany ireo mpitondra fivavahana neken'ny fanjakana Breziliana ny fijoroany ary indrindra fa ireo solontena evanjelika hafa toa an-dry pastora Edir Macêdo, mpitarika ny Igreja Universal (Fiangonana ‘Universlle') ao Brezila, izay mahabe resaka tokoa, nahazo pasipaoro diplaomatika tany aloha tany. |
8 | Thanks to the visibility drawn by the media to this particular case though, the Itamaraty has fallen under heavy criticism by the online community for its decision, sparking a discussion on the institution's power and on the violation of the very notion of secularism enshrined in Brazil's constitution. | Isaorana ny mangarahara nosoritan'ny media momba ity tranga henjana manokana ity na izany aza, niharan'ny kiana mavesatra avy amin'ny vondrom-pîarahamonina ety anaty aterineto ny Itamaraty noho ny fanapahan-kevitra norasiny, niteraka fifanakalozan-dresaka iray momba ny fahefan'ny andrim-panjakana sy ny fanitsakitsahana ny tena famaritana ny hoe tsy fironana amin'ny ara-pinoana (laika) voasoratra ao anatin'ny lalam-panorenana ao Brezila. |
9 | A reader of the Folha de São Paulo newspaper, Renato Khair, posted the following comment in response to an article [pt] covering the case: | Mpamaky iray ny gazety Folha de São Paulo, Renato Khair, nampakatra ity fanamarihana manaraka ity ho valin'ny lahatsoratra iray [pt] niresaka ity raharaha ity : |
10 | Is is unacceptable that a government makes use of the Itamaraty to concede diplomatic passports to the World Church. | Tsy azo ekena mihitsy ny hoe ny governemanta hampiasa ny Itamaraty hanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika ho an'ny Fiangonana Manerantany. |
11 | It is an aberration that people who do not fulfill the legal requirements get to receive diplomatic passports, such as the sons of former President Lula, the Reverends in question and many others. | Zava-mifanohitra amin'ny tokony ho izy raha olona tsy mahafeno akory ny fepetra takian'ny lalàna, tahaka ireo zanaka lahin'i Lula, filoha teo aloha, ireo ‘reverends' fototry ny resaka ary ny hafa marobe, no hahazo pasipaoro diplaomatika. |
12 | What's being done to the Ministry of External Relations is demoralizing institutions that were considered respectable and serious. | Ny zavatra nataon'ny Ministeran'ny Fifandraisana amin'ny any Ivelany dia mahakely fisainana ireo andrim-panjakana izay noheverina ho fanàja sy matotra. |
13 | Blogger Parsifal Pontes also criticized [pt] the issuing of diplomatic passports by emphasizing: | Ilay bilaogera Parsifal Pontes dia nanakiana [pt] ihany koa ilay famoahana pasipaoro diplaomatika tamin'ny fanindriana fa : |
14 | The way in which our ministry takes for granted the concession of diplomatic passports will soon lead foreign customs officials to burst into laughter when they see yet another one. | Hiteraka fihomehezana ho an'ireo mpiasan'ny fadintserana any ivelany ny fomba noraisin'ny ministerantsika amin'ny fanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika, rehefa mahita iray hafa indray ry zareo. |

17 | On Twitter, under #estadolaicoja (secular state now) the general consensus is that the Brazilian state has gone overboard by violating the basic rules of secularism that it is meant to uphold. | Ao amin'ny Twitter, teo ambanin'ny #estadolaicoja (fitondrana lahika izao) ny marimaritra ankapobeny dia ny hoe nihoatra ny vala ny fitondrana Breziliana tamin'ny fanitsakitsahana ny fepetra fototra momba ny resaka laika izay izy aza no nandrandraina hiaro azy. |

20 | Legality, equality, morality and secularism: these are the “only” principles violated by the special passports for pastors. | Ny ara-dalàna, ny fitoviana, ny ara-maoraly ary ny maha-laika: ireo no “hany” foto-kevitra voahitsakitsaka amin'ny fanomezana pasipaoro manokana ho an'ireo pastora. |
21 | Public prosecutor Chico (@chiconob) continues along the same line of thought: | Ny mpampanoa lalànan'ny Repoblika, Chico (@chiconob) dia mitohy manaraka izay lalan-jotran-kevitra izay : |
22 | There is simply no plausible argument to concede a diplomatic passport to religious representatives. | Tsy misy tsotra izao tohan-kevitra azo raisina mba hanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika ho an'ireo solontena ara-pinoana. |
23 | How embarrassing! | Faran'izay maha-valalanina! |
24 | The discussion online brings to light an old and ongoing debate regarding secularism in the Brazilian state. | Avoitran'ireo fifanakalozan-dresaka ety anaty aterineto ny adihevitra fahiny sy misy amin'izao fotoana mikasika ny maha-laika ao anatin'ny fanjakana Breziliana. |
25 | Although the constitution affirms the independence of State and religion, in practice the concession of diplomatic passports to religious leaders appears to violate this principal, after all, how can a religious leader carry a diplomatic passport without infringing the basic principal of secularism? | Na dia manamafy ny fahaleovantenan'ny fanjakana sy ny finoana aza ny lalam-panorenana, eo amin'ny fampiharana kosa dia mampiseho ny fanitsakitsahana io foto-kevitra io ny fanomezana pasipaoro diplaomatika ho an'ireo mpitarika ara-pinoana, sady izao koa e, fomba ahoana no ahafahan'ny mpitarika fivavahana iray hitondra pasipaoro diplaomatika nefa tsy handika ny lalàna fototry ny maha-laika? |
26 | A representative who carries an official privileged diplomatic pass should not, at any time, harbor a religious flag, let alone preach his/hers religious beliefs on foreign soil. | Ny solontena iray izay mitondra fahafaha-mivezivezy diplaomatika iray amin'ny fomba ofisialy dia tsy tokony, na rahoviana na rahoviana, hitondra ny sainan'ny finoana, tsy ho resahantsika ny fitoriany ny finoany ara-pivavahana any an-tany hafa. |
