Madagascar's President calls mutual aid among Malagasy people

Xinhua, June 14, 2015 Adjust font size:

Madagascar's President Hery Rajaonarimampianina called Saturday evening a mutual aid among Malagasy people to reconstruct the country.

After the High Constitutional Court (HCC) rejected on Saturday the destitution of the president asked by the parliament, Hery Rajaonarimampianina said in his national address that "Everybody even me can extract a lesson from this problem. For me this allowed me to correct my manner of managing the country," he said.

"I will take my full responsibility as Madagascar's President to fulfil all challenge that I promised to Malagasy people," the president added.

The HCC judged the fight between parliament and the president following the 121 members of the parliament against four others voted on May 26 to impeach the president, accusing him a "non respect of the constitution."

Hery Rajaonarimampianina took function as Madagascar's president since Jan. 25, 2014 from the presidential election in December 2013 after a five-year political crisis in the country. Endi
