President Rajoelina held meetings with supporters to discuss the nation's issues, but the Gen Z Mada movement rejected the invitation for dialogue, demanding his resignation due to the repression of protests for human rights. The protests were triggered by the energy crisis and expanded to grievances related to corruption and unemployment. Rajoelina promised that he would resign if the energy issues are not resolved, but the protest movement continues to demand changes, despite a decrease in the intensity of street protests.
