1 | Royal Abdications: Netherlands, Belgium, Will Spain be Next? | Fandavana Tsy Hitondra Fanjakana Intsony: Taorian'i Pays-bàs Sy Belzika, Ho i Espaina Ve Ny Manaraka? |
2 | “I'd be failing to my duties and my own conception of the royal function if I'd wish to keep on exercising whatever the cost, without being completely fit to assume my role.” | “Mivoana amin'ireo adidiko sy ny fomba fijeriko ny tena asa amin'ny maha-mpanjaka ahy raha toa aho ka mikiry ny mbola hifikitra eo amin'ny fitondrana, nefa tsy hahatanteraka araka ny tokony ho izy akory ny andraikitro.” |
3 | Those were the words [fr] used by Albert II, King of the Belgians, to announce on Tuesday July 3, 2013 his intention to abdicate -as Queen Beatrix of Netherlands did last April- in favour of his 53-year old son Philippe, due to his age and delicate health. | Ireo no teny [fr] nampiasain'i Albert II, Mpanjakan-dry zareo Belza, tamin'ny fanambaràny ny Talata 3 Jolay 2013 teo, mikasika ny fikasàny hiàla tsy hitondra intsony - tahaka izay nataon'ny Mpanjakavavin'i Pays-Bas Beatrix, ny volana Aprily lasa teo - ka niakàran'ny zanany lahy Philippe, izay 53 taona, vokatry ny taonany mandroso sy ny fahasalamany izay atahorana. |
4 | In fact, King Albert will be 80 years old in 2014, as he said in his speech [fr], an age “never reached by my predecessors on the exercise of their function,” and has undergone multiple surgical procedures [fr], among them, a quadruple coronary bypass on April 2000. | Ny marina, handray 80 taona ny Mpanjakalahy Albert II amin'ny taona 2014, hoy izy tamin'ny kabariny [fr], taona iray “izay tsy noeritreretina velively ho tratran'ireo nialoha làlana azy teo am-panatanterahany ny asan-dry zareo”, ary nisedràny ireo fandidiana maro [fr], anisan'izany ny fandindiana ny fony in'efatra miantoana ny volana Aprily 2000. |

7 | The background well-known to everybody, however, is a monarchy punised by scandals and very much needed of an urgent renovation. | Saingy ny tena antony fantam-poko fanta-pirenena, dia ny fitondran'olon-tokana niharan'ireo tantara ratsy sy ny filàna fanovàna farana'izay haingana. |
8 | Delphine Boël, King Albert's illegitimate daughter, filed last June 17 before a Brussels court a paternity test [es], bringing to bear once again a case where the Belgian Royal House has shown an attitude seen by much as anachronisitic [fr]. | Ny 17 Jona lasa teo, nangataka tamin'ny Fitsarana tao Bruxelles fitiliana ny maha-rainy azy [es] i Delphine Boël, zanaka vavin'ny Mpanjakalahy Albert ivelan'ny fanambadiana, nampimpongatra indray ny raharaha izay nanehoan'ny fianakavian'ny mpanjaka belza toe-tsaina izay hitan'ny maro ho efa lany andro [fr]. |
9 | Belgian people haven't forgotten that in 2007, Prince Lorenz, the king's youngest child, was involved in a embezzlement case of Navy funds [es], part of which were used to furnish his new house, or his non-authorized trip to Republic of the Congo [es], that almost caused him to lose his official assignement. | Tsy hadinon'ny vahoaka Belza fa ny taona 2007, ny Printsy Lorenz, ilay zanaka faralahin'ny mpanjaka, dia voarohirohy tamin'ny raharaha fanodinkodinana ny toe-bolan'ny Tafika an-dranomasina [es], izay ny antsasany dia nividianana fanaka ho amin'ny tranony vaovao, na ny fitsangatsanganany tsy nahazoana alàlana tany amin'ny Repoblikan'i Congo [es], izay saika namoizany ny vatsy ofisialy natao ho azy. |
10 | But what seemed to be the last straw has been the last tax scandal, taken on by his sister in law Fabiola. | Fa ny tete iray toa nampitobaka ny rano tao anaty vazy dia ny zava-doza farany teo mikasika ny hetra, naha-voarohirohy an'i Fabiola zaobaviny. |
11 | Fabiola, of Spanish origin, is the widow of King Baudouin I, Albert's brother and his predecessor in the throne, who died suddenly in 1993. | Fabiola, teratany espanola, dia vady navelan'itompokolahy Baudouin I, Mpanjakalahy, rahalahin'i Albert izay nodimbiasany teo amin'ny fiandrianana, maty tampoka ny taona 1993. |
12 | Widow Queen Fabiola set up a private foundation [es] aiming that, upon her death, her heirs coud elude 70% of succession taxes. | Nanao fanorenana azy manokana i Fabiola [es] nikendreny ny hoe rehefa tonga ny fahafatesany, dia tsy hiharan'ny lalànan'ny 70% mikasika ny fandovàna ireo mpandova azy. |
13 | Apparently, the official amount perceived from public funds was included in this foundation, thus leading the Belgian government to reduce that amount. | Raha ny fisehony dia tafiditra any amin'io fanorenana io ny vola nalaina tamin'ny fomba ofisialy avy amin'ny volam-bahoaka, izay nitarika ny gvernemanta Belza hampihena izay masom-bola izay. |

17 | The Belgian monarchy is one of the few unifying issues in a relatively new country (less than 200 years) where the communities of majority, Flemish and Walloon, grow apart day by day due to Flanders independence aspirations [es]. | Ny fitondram-panjaka belza dia iray amin'ireo teboka mampiray ao anatinà firenena iray azo lazaina ho vao haingana ihany (latsaky ny 200 taona), izay ny Flemish sy Walloon no vondrom-piarahamonina maro an'isa, mitombo mihanaka isan'andro isan'andro nohon'ny faniriana hizaka tenan'ireo Flamands [es]. |
18 | Under these circumstances, doubts about Prince Philippe's leadership skills intensify. | Anatin'izay toe-javatra rehetra izany, nihamafy ireo ahiahy mikasika ny fahaiza-mitariky ny Printsy Philippe. |
19 | On September 28, 2012, Belgian paper Le Soir published an interview with Martin Buxant [fr], journalist and author of the book “Belgium, a King Without a Country.” | Ny 28 septambra 2012, ny gazety Le Soir dia namoaka tafatafa niarahana tamin'i Martin Buxant [fr], mpanao gazety sady mpanoratra ny boky hoe “Belzika, Mpanjaka Iray Tsy Manana Firenena.” |
20 | When asked if Prince Philippe is ready to become king, he answered: | Rehefa nanontaniana ny Printsy Philippe hoe vonona ny ho mpanjaka ve izy, dia hoy izy namaly: |
21 | (…) the almost forty political, economic, cultural and diplomatic responsibles I've talked to [have] great doubts about Philippe's leadership skills to assume Albert's succession in the short term. | (…) ny efa-polo taona nandraisana andraikitra ara-politika, ara-toe-karena, ara-kolontsaina, ara-diplomatika izay natrehantsika [dia] feno ahiahy goavana mikasika ny fahafahan'i Philippe handimby an'i Albert ato anatin'ny fotoana fohy . |
22 | (…) We have to be clear: no, he is not ready! | (…) Tsy maintsy atao mazava: tsia, tsy vonona izy! |
23 | Or as Everett Rummage said on Twitter: | Na tahaka ny nolazain'i Everett Rummage tao amin'ny Twitter hoe: |
24 | Philippe and Mathilde, future kings of Belgium, with their eldest daughter Elisabeth. | Philippe sy Mathilde, ireo Mpanjakan'i Belzika amin'ny ho avy, miaraka amin'ny zanany vavimatoa Elisabeth. |

26 | @EverettRummage: no one I knew in Belgium thought much of the King, but consensus was his son is an even bigger idiot. | @EverettRummage: Tsy nisy na iray aza amin'ireo olona fantatro ao Belzika ka nanana fihevitra tsara momba ny Mpanjakalahy, saingy misy marimaritra iray iraisana dia ny hoe vao maika donto be mbola adala lavitra aza ilay zanany lahy. |
27 | From France, Marjorie [fr] shared her revolutionary ideas: | Avy any Frantsa, nizara ireo heviny ho amin'ny fanovàna i Marjorie [fr]: |
28 | @MarjorieMarje: [fr]: I don't understand Belgium, I'd behead my king! | @MarjorieMarje: [fr]: Tsy azoko mihintsy ny ao Belzika, ny ahy tapahako ny lohan'ny mpanjakalahiko! |
29 | In Spain, the abdication by two European kings within few months have unleashed speculations about a possible stepping down by king Juan Carlos in favour of his son Felipe. | Tany Espana, ny fandavan'ireo mpanjakalahy roa tao Eoropa tsy hitondra intsony tato anatin'ny volana vitsivitsy dia nitarika fironana betsaka amin'ny fanaovana fanamby momba ny fialàn'ny mpanjaka Juan Carlos mba ho tombontsoan'ny zanany lahy Philippe. |
30 | Adrián Vidales and Otis B. Driftwood pointed the evident similarities: | Nanindry mafy ireo fitovian-javatra mibaribary tsy azo lavina i Adrián Vidales sy Otis B. |
31 | @AdriVidales [es]: It seems that King of Belgium will abdicate due to tax offenses by relatives and “women troubles.” | Driftwood: @AdriVidales [es]:Tahaka ny hiàla tsy hitondra intsony ny Mpanjakalahin'i Belzika noho ireo hadalàna ara-ketra nataon'ny havany sy ny “resaka vehivavy”. |
32 | It's kind of hard to me not to make comparisons… | Sarotra ho ahy ny tsy hanao ireo fampitahana. |
33 | @obdriftwood [es]: The king abdicates because of a financial scandal, and another adultery one. | @obdriftwood [es]:Noho ny tantara ratsin'ny resa-pitantanam-bola sy fijangajangana dia hiala tsy hitondra intsony ny Mpanjakalahy. |
34 | The King of Belgium, just don't jump beforehand. | Ny mpanjakalahin'i Belzika, f'aza mbola mitsambikina. |
35 | Gerard Sygranyes imagined a conversation in the Palace of Zarzuela: | Naka sary an-tsaina ny adihevitra ao amin'ny Lapan'i Zarzuela i Gerard Sygranyes hoe: |
36 | @GSugranyes [es]: -Dad, dad, the King of Bel… -WHY DON'T YOU SHUT UP?? | @GSugranyes [es]: - Dada, dada, mpanjakan'i Bel…-NAHOANA NO TSY AKOMBONA ITY VAVA E??. |
37 | “The king of Belgium will abdicate on July 21l”: http://ara.cat/_38923284 [cat] | “Hiala tsy hitondra intsony ny Mpanjakalahin'i BelzIKa ny 21 Jolay”: http://ara.cat/_38923284 [cat] |
38 | Other Twitter users, as Morenatti, implied some irritation: | Tsy nahatana hasosorana ireo hafa mpampiasa Twitter, toa an'i Morenatti: |
39 | @MiguelMorenatti [es]: The king of Belgium will abdicate today, while the king of Spain keeps on thinking that abdicate means an auto rental firm [note: abdicate in Spanish is abdicar]. | @MiguelMorenatti [es]: The king of Belgium will abdicate today, while the king of Spain keeps on thinking that abdicate means an auto rental firm [note: abdicate in Spanish is abdicar]…… Hiala tsy hitondra ny Mpanjakalahin'i Belza androany, rahoviana ny mpanjakalahin'i Espana koa no hieritreritra hiala tahaka ny fanofàna fiara [naoty: fialàna tsy hitondra any Espana dia fialàna tsy hitondra fiara] |
40 | And on Albert Cuesta‘s tweet we can see some impacience shared by many Spaniards: | And on Albert Cuesta‘s tweet we can see some impacience shared by many Spaniards:…. Ary tao amin'ny tweet n'i Albert Cuesta, hita taratra ny fahamehana tsapan'ny vahoaka espaniola maro: |
41 | @albertcuesta[es]: - The king abdicates in favor of his son Philippe - About time! - No, not the one from here. | @albertcuesta[es]: - Mamatra-pialàna ho an'ny tombontsoan'ny zanany lahy Philippe ny mpanjaka - Fotoanany izao! - Tsia, tsy ho an'ilay aty ka. |
42 | The one from Belgium - Ah | Ilay iray any Belza - Ah |
43 | Others think the change should be deeper, as the comment made by trilobites [es] in an article appeared on El País [es]: | Mino ny sasany fa mbola ho lavitra ny fiovàna, araka ny fanehoan-kevitra nataon'ny trilobites [es] tao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray nivoaka tamin'ny El País [es]: |
44 | European monarchies should be aware they have to stop being a parasite of their states. | Tokony hahatsapa tena ny rafi-fanjakàna Eropeana fa tokony tsy hanao izay hankarary ny fanjakàny izy ireo. |
45 | To abdicate and leave for those tax havens they so often visit. | Mametra-pialàna ary mandeha mankany amin'ny paradisan'ny hetra izay efa notsidihiny imbetsaka loatra. |
46 | And don't come back. | Ary aza miverina intsony. |
47 | Whatever the case may be, the Belgian people will have to adjust to their new Chief of State, even though in the worst case scenario, the Belgians have shown to be perfectly able to keep on going [es] in worse situations, as it became obvious when, between 2010 and 2011, the country spent 589 days [es] without a government, the longest period known in world history. | N'inona n'inona mitranga, tsy maintsy mifanaraka amin'ny mpitondra firenena vaovao ny vahoaka Belza, na dia tamin'ny tranga ratsy indrindra, dia nampiseho ny Belza fa mahay mampandeha hatrany ny raharaha[es] anatin'ny ady sarotra, izay hita taratra indrindra teo anelanelan'ny 2010 sy 2011, rehefa nandia 589 andro [es] tsy nisy governemanta ny firenena, izay fotoana lava indrindra fantatra teo amin'ny tantaran'izao tontolo izao. |
