Rev. Daniel Rajakoba was the guest of Radio France International's “African Debates” program last sunday july, 30th. The interview was focused on the preservation of a secular state. This issue concerns Daniel Rajakoba in first chief: As an ecclesiastic, Minister of the FJKM Church (Reformed Protestant Church), and chief of an opposition political party (the Fihavanantsika Party), his lighting is all the more interesting. Current Malagasy president, Marc Ravalomanana, indeed takes advantage of his mandate as vice-president of the FJKM Church to use Christian Churches in general, and the FJKM Church in particular, as his actual political base.
