Not Independence Day (that is June 26), but the anniversary of the establishment of the First Republic in 1958. The day is observed with official ceremonies, and the First Republic (1958-1975) is remembered as a period of relative stability and democratic governance. The day is not a major holiday, but it is a reminder that Madagascar has had multiple republics (four, to date) and multiple periods of democratic governance interrupted by coups. The current Fourth Republic was established in 2010, and the political situation remains fragile.
The anniversary of the establishment of the Fourth Republic in 2010, after the coup that ousted Marc Ravalomanana and installed Andry Rajoelina. The Fourth Republic is the current political regime, and the day is observed with official ceremonies and the reminder that Madagascar has had four republics since independence in 1960. The political situation remains fragile, and the day is not widely celebrated by the general population, who are more concerned with daily survival than with the anniversary of a political transition.
