1 | Siege of Portuguese Parliament: “This is not our budget” | Fahirano Ny Antenimera Portiogey: “Tsy Tetibolanay io” |
2 | This post is part of our coverage Europe in Crisis | |
3 | A siege of Portuguese parliament [pt] took place on October 15, 2012, the day when Portuguese government officially submitted the state budget for 2013 [pt] to the President of the Parliament. | Nisy fahirano ny Antenimiera Portiogey [pt] nitranga tamin'ny 15 Oktobra 2012, andro ofisialy nametrahan'ny fitondrana Portiogey ny tetibolam-panjakana 2013 [pt] tamin'ny Filohan'ny Antenimiera. |
4 | The draft proposal, which is expected to be put to the vote on October 31, unveils growing austerity and cuts on public services such as healthcare (-17%) and education (-14.5%), inevitably leading to more unemployment [pt] and impoverishment of the population. | Ny volavola, izay antenaina holaniana amin'ny 31 Oktobra, dia ahitana fitomboam-pifehezan-kibo sy fampihenana ny tetibola amin'ny sampan-draharaha tahaka ny fahasalamana (-17%) sy ny fanabeazana (-14.5%), izay hitarika ho amin'ny fitomboan'isan'ny tsy an'asa [pt] sy fampahantrana ny mponina. |
5 | On Twitter, Facebook and blogs many were surprised [pt] by the lack of coverage on TV and criticized [pt] biased and sensationalist news about the demonstration in front of São Bento Palace (home of the Assembly of the Republic). | Maro ny talanjona [pt] tamin'ny tsy nisian'ny fitantarana tamin'ny fahitalavitra raha novakiana ny hita ao amin'ny Twitter, Facebook ary ny bolongana ka nitsikera [pt] ny fitongilanana sy ny vaovao fanaitairana momba ny fihetsiketsehana teo anoloan'ny Lapa São Bento (itoeran'ny Antenimieran'ny Repoblika). |
6 | Meanwhile, citizens made the news with their own media, livestreaming the events and tweeting under the hashtag #OE13 (from “Orçamento de Estado 2013″, 2013's State Budget). | Mandritra izany fotoana izany, mamoaka vaovao ao amin'ny sehatra fampitàny vaovao ny olom-pirenena, mandefa mivantana ny hetsika sy misioka amin'ny alalan'ny tenifototra #OE13 (avy amin'ny “Orçamento de Estado 2013″, Tetibolam-panjakana). |
7 | A video by Ministério da Verdade (Ministry of Truth) on Youtube summarizes the siege, which started at 6 p.m.: | Misy video avy amin'i Ministério da Verdade (Minisiteran'ny Marina) ao amin'ny Youtube namehy an-dahatsary ny fahirano, izay nanomboka tamin'ny enina ora hariva: |
8 | “Several thousand people gather in front of the Portuguese parliament to demand the resignation of the government following the announcement of a new budget.” | “An'arivony ny olona nivory nanoloana ny Parlemanta Portiogey mitaky ny fialàn'ny governemanta taorian'ny filazana momba ny tetibola vaovao.” |

10 | João Paulo Pedrosa, on Praça Stephens blog, writes his impressions of the “young peaceful people” he found when he got in front of the Parliament: | João Paulo Pedrosa, ao amin'ny bilaogy Praça Stephens, no manoratra ny ao an'eritreriny momba ireo “vahoaka tanora milamina” hitany teo anoloan'ny Antenimiera: |
11 | They are, however, the scraping-by youth, scraping-by with the difficulties of the moment, unemployment, precariousness, insecurity of the present and, above all, fear of the future and it is for them that we all have to help find answers. | Nefa ireo no tanora mangidihidy, mangidihidin'ny fahasarotana amin'izao fotoana, tsy fananan'asa, fahasahiranana, tsy fandriampahalemana ankehitriny, ary ambonin'izany rehetra izany, tahotry ny ampitso ary io ho azy ireo no tokony hitadiavantsika rehetra vahaolana. |
12 | There is, however, well expressed in the small stall of food and drink that was installed there, a certain social utopia of egalitarianism which, unfortunately, is not part of our cruel and unforgiving time. | Voazava tsara amin'ny tranoheva kely napetraka teo ahitana sakafo sy fisotro, anefa izany, karazana tanjona zary nofinofy ahitana ny fitoviana izay, indrisy, tsy ao anatin'izao fotoana tsy mifaditrovana izao. |
13 | We therefore live in a terrible time, too bad it is ours. | Miaina ao anatin'ny fotoana mampihoron-koditra anefa isika, ratsy loatra ny antsika. |
14 | More than happiness, today, the magic word is hope. | Mihoatra noho ny fahasambarana, ankehitriny, ny voambolana majika dia ny fanantenana. |
15 | “A man wears a mock ‘Pinocchio' nose as thousands gathered outside the Portuguese parliament to demonstrate against renewed austerity measures introduced by the Portuguese government.” | “Lehilahy iray manao orona fanesoan'i ‘Pinocchio' nandritra ny fivoriam-bahoaka teo ivelan'ny Antenimiera Portiogey manohitra ny fepetra vaovao hifehezan-kibo ataon'ny fitondrana Portiogey.” |

19 | In another video by André Matos Cardoso on Vimeo, one can hear protesters chanting slogans such as “the people united will never be defeated”: | Ao amin'ny video hafa nataon'i André Matos Cardoso hita Vimeo, afa-mihaino ny hiakan'ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana mihiaka hoe “tsy ho resy mandrakizay ny vahoaka mivondrona”: |
20 | “Naked demonstrators protest among a couple of thousand who gathered outside the Portuguese parliament to protest renewed austerity measures introduced by the Portuguese government. | “Mpanao Fihetsiketsehana nitanjaka tao anatin'ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana tokony ho roa arivo eo ho eo nivory teo anoloan'ny Antenimiera Portiogey manohitra ny fepetra vaovao hifehezan-kibo nampidirin'ny fitondrana Portiogey. |

22 | “Riot police monitor protests as a fire burns in front of the parliament building as demonstrations take place over government imposed austerity measures designed to ease Portugal's economic and financial crisis”. | “Manara-maso ny fihetsiketsehana ny polisy misahana ny rotaka raha misy afo mirehitra teo anoloan'ny lapan'ny Antenimiera raha manohitra ny fepetra teren'ny fitondrana ampiharina amin'ny fifehezana tondroina hivoahana mora amin'ny krizy ara-bola sy toe-karenan'i Portiogaly”. |

24 | Philosopher and researcher Porfírio Silva, on his blog Machina Speculatrix, explains why he is against the idea of a siege of parliament: | Filozofy sy mpikaroka Porfírio Silva, ao amin'ny bolongana Machina Speculatrix, no manazava ny antony anoherany ny hevitra hanaovana fahirano ny antenimiera: |
25 | If you want to be really imaginative, make an alternative parliament for an alternative budget. | Raha tena te-haka sary an-tsaina ianao, mamorona antenimiera mahasolo hametraka tetibola mahasolo. |
26 | Take the government's proposal (if any), discuss specific amendments and approve them, make us know the outcome to fuel debate among citizens. | Raiso ny tolo-kevitry ny governemanta (raha misy), miady hevitra amin'ny fanitsiana manokana ar mandany ireny, mampafantatra anay ny tafavoaka avy eo handrehitra ny adihevitra eo amin'ny samy olo-pirenena. |
27 | I promise that I will not even analyze the “representative” credentials of such “alternative parliament”: I will only examine the “popular” budget that results from this, on its own merits. | Mampanantena aho fa tsy hanadihady raha “mahasolo tena” izany “Antenimiera mahasolo” izany: Hanadihady fotsiny ny tetibolan'ny “vahoaka” mivoaka avy ao fotsiny aho, ny fahamendrehany. |
28 | Feedback keeps pouring in on the wall of the Facebook event created for October 15 (with almost 4.500 participants), and a new event has been created for October 23, calling for an “Assembly of the Siege” to plan for upcoming actions. | Mbola mitohy hatrany ny domberina (Feedback) eo amin'ny hetsika Facebook natsangana tamin'ny 15 Oktobra (ahitana mpandray anjara 4.500 sahady), ary misy hetsika vaovao indray ho amin'ny 23 Oktobra, miantso hanaovana “Antenimieran'ny Fahirano” handrafitra ny katroka manaraka. |
