1 | Guatemala: Controversial General Elected President | Goatemala: Fifandirana momba ny filoha voafidy |
2 | School of the Americas alumni and retired General Otto Perez Molina is the elected President of Guatemala after a tight and highly polarized election, where a large percentage of voters abstained or voted blank. | Mpianatra maintimolaly nahazo diploma Amerikana sady jeneraly misotro ronono Otto Perez Molina no voafidy ho filoha any Goatemala taorian'ny fifidianana niady tokoa sady nifanipaka be ihany, nefa ny ankamaroan'ny mpifidy dia tsy nifidy na nanao vato fotsy. |
3 | Also, for the first time in Guatemalan history, a woman, Roxana Baldetti [es] - currently a member of the Guatemalan Congress and a public relations expert - was elected vice-president. | Sambany teo amin'ny tantaran'i Goatemala no nisy vehivavy, Roxana Baldetti [es] -mpikambana ao amin'ny kongresy any an-toerana sady manam-pahaizana amin'ny fifandraisana ara-tsosialy no voafidy ho filoha lefitra. |
4 | Election results were close with an evident advantage in urban areas for the elected candidate, a very different result from the past election when rural voters elected the social democrat President Alvaro Colom. | Niady be ny vokatry ny fifidianana kanefa nahazo tombony tany amin'ny tanà-dehibe ny filoha voafidy, vokatra izay nifanohitra tamin'ny fifidianana taloha, raha nifidy ny filoha sosialy demokraty, Alvaro Colom ny tany ambanivohitra. |
5 | Presidential elections were peaceful but tense. | Nilamina ny fifidianana na dia henjana aza. |
6 | Apart from isolated incidents involving irregularities with votes, especially with the transport of voters in rural or marginal areas, few violent incidents and murders were reported in the Ushahidi platform Mirador Electoral [es]. | Ankoatra ny tsy fetezana madinika nisiana tsy fanarahan-dalàna tamin'ny vato, indrindra teo amin'ny fitaterana ny mpifidy tany ambanivohitra sy tany amin'ireo toerana mitoka-monina, dia tsy nahitana herisetra firy na vonoan'olona nandritra ny fifidianana araka ny hita ao amin'ny sehatra Ushahidi Mirador Electoral [es]. |

8 | Bloggers like Luis Figueroa were inviting others to vote [es] from early in the morning. | Ny blaogera toa an-dry Luis Figueroa niantso ny namany hifidy [es] vao maraina. |
9 | Others were very disappointed as both candidates did not meet their expectations, and decided to express why they would not vote and the dark perspectives they have for the future of the country, like Fe de Rata [es] and Hunahpu Ixbalanque [es] expressed in their blogs and many others commented on different social networks. | Diso fanantenana kosa ny sasany satria tsy namaly ny hetahetany ireo mpilatsaka ho fidiana anankiroa, ary nanapan-kevitra izy ireo fa tsy hifidy satria tsy misy ho avy mamiratra mihitsy ny fireneny, toa an-dry Fe de Rata [es] sy Hunahpu Ixbalanque [es] izay nilaza tany amin'ny bilaoginy, ao koa ny fanehoan-kevitra samy hafa hita amin'ny tambazotra sosialy. |
10 | Iván Morales (@ivancarrera) in his blog PoliticaGT points out in his article: “If they are there it is because they represent someone” [es]: | Iván Morales (@ivancarrera) ao amin'ny sorany PoliticalGT: “Matoa izy ireo dia satria misolo tena olon-tokana” [es]: |
11 | After knowing the results of the first election round and until today, there has been a prevalent feeling of apathy and desperation (on social networks) because voters must elect two candidates who don't represent them and were forced to choose between “the lesser of two evils”. | Hatramin'ny naharenesana ny valin'ny fifidianana fiodinana voalohany amin'ny fifidianana ho filoha ka hatramin'ny androany, nisy ny fanehoana fahadisoam-panantenana niely (teo amin'ny tambajotra sosialy), satria tsy maintsy mifidy olona roa amin'ireo mpilatsaka hofidiana izay tsy hisolo tena azy akory ny mpifidy, voatery izany izy ireo hifidy “ny azo hiafiana indrindra”. |
12 | However, I remind myself that Guatemalans that participate in social networks do not represent the universe of the population at all, that social networks are just a small, non representative sample of population from Guatemala. | Kanefa, tadidiko tsara fa ireo olona Goatemalteka mandray anjara amin'ny tambajotra sosialy ireo dia tsy mahasolo tena ny mponina akory satria olona vitsy an'isa tsy afaka hisolo tena ny vahoaka iray manontolo any Goatemala. |
13 | Amazingly, it seems that the samples from social networks were accurate, at least in the city. | Ny tena tsy nampoizina, ohatry ny hoe marina hono ireo solontena avy amin'ny tambajotra sosialy ireo, na dia tany an-drenivohitra ihany aza. |
14 | Voters interviewed by Plaza Publica in an urban area of Guatemala said they were very skeptical [es] of the future of the country and the change any elected president can bring. | Ireo mpifidy avy any ambanivohitra nanontanin'i Plaza Publica no nilaza fa manahy ny amin'ny ho avin'i Goatemala sy ny fiovana mety hoentin'izay filoha voafidy eo ry zareo. |
15 | Since the ruling party did not present a candidate for president after former first Lady Sandra Torres Casanova was banned by the Constitutional Court to take part on the electoral process, the two parties which disputed the presidential seat were right-wing and very similar, promoting strong fist policies, militarization, benefits for foreign investors, and replicating the errors of the state sponsored assistance programs. | tsy nanolotra olona hofidiana ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondrana teo aloha satria nomelohin'ny fitsarana i Sandra Torres Casanova tsy nahazo nandray anjara amin'ny fifidianana, dia antoko roa avy amin'ny ankavanana no nanolotra olona hofidiana ary mitovy ny hevitr'izy ireo, atao mafana kokoa ny politika, omena fahefana ny miaramila, omena tombony ny mpampiasa vola vahiny, sy ny fanakelezana ny tsy nety nataon'ny fanjakana tamin'ny programa vatsiany vola. |
16 | The elected president was a member of the Guatemalan Army, an institution with a vast record of human rights abuses; he served in one of the areas most affected by torture, murder, and massacres of indigenous peoples. | Mpikambana ao amin'ny tafika any Goatemala ny filoha voafidy, tafika izay mitana ny lohalaharana amin'ny fanitsakitsahana ny zon'olombelona; niasa tany amin'ny faritra nisian'ny fampijaliana be indrindra, ny famonoan'olona sy ny famonoana ireo zanatany tompontany tany an-toerana izy. |
17 | During his presidency, high rank officers will be prosecuted for genocide and crimes against humanity, as Global Voices recently reported. | Nandritra ny nitondrany, manamboninahitra ambony maro no voarohirohy tamin'ny famonoan'olona faobe sy famonoan'olona amin'ny ankapobeny, araka izay vao nitateran'ny Global Voices azy. |

19 | Reactions from Guatemalan citizens and from people all over the world are expected today and tomorrow. | Fanehoan-kevitra avy amin'ny mponina any Goatemala sy ny manerana izao tontolo izao no andrasana ao anio sy rahampitso. |
20 | There is hope that the situation will remain as peaceful as it it now, a sign of mature and responsible democracy and citizenry. | Iriana ny hisian'ny fitoniana tahaka izay misy ankehitriny, mariky ny fahamatoran'ny demokrasia sy ny maha olom-pirenena. |
