  [ EN ] The Fandrosoam-Baovao reached the peak of its popularity between the end of the second world war and the “Loi Cadre” (1945-1956) for its struggle for thz independence of Madagascar. But like its means of existence it was quite different from most of the nationalist newspapers of that time.
  If from 1945 to 1947, most of them (pro M.D.R.M.) were fighting for the status of a free state within the Frenc Union, after having asked for a total and immediate independence, this newspaper spoke in favour of the independence according to the San Francisco Chart. After the Insurrection and the repression that followed, it became more moderate and like the others, fought the status of free state within the French Union. The principle which directed its strategy was moderation of the claims and moderation of the means used. Never use force to claim anything, always use the weapons of legality, never openly oppose the establishment. This led the Fandrosoam-Baovao to stay within the French orbit, where as the class position of its journalists and readers led him to an anti-communism which could not be denied in the future.
  Since it was moderate in its claims, the Fandrosoam-Baovao greeted with enthusiasm the Loi-Cadre and its applications from 1956. When the Nationalist and the socializing press saw in this law a stratagem used by the French government in order to bury Independence claims, this newspaper, on the contrary, thinks that it’s the safest way to the status of free state. Since then the Fandrosoam-Baovao fought to defend the new institutions and therefore parted for ever from its struggling companions. It greeted with warmth the formation of the first malagasy government, declined the invitation to the Tamatave Congress and campaigned for “Yes” during the Referendum of September 1958. Its owner Gabriel Razafintsalama represented the type of part of the Merina bourgeoisie which rallied with the P.S.D.

  [ MLA ] Taorian’ny ady lehibe faharoa ka hatramin’ny Loi-Cadre (1945-1956), ny tena nahafantarana ny Fandrosoam-Baovao dia ny tolona ho an’ny fahaleovantenan’i Madagasikara izay notarihiny. Nefa, toy ny tamin’ny toetoe-piainany ihany dia miavaka amin’ny ankabeazan’ny gazety tia tanindrazana niseho tamin’izany fotoana izany izy.
  Teo anelanelan’ny taona 1945 sy 1947, ny maro tamin’izy ireo, izay nankasitraka ny M.D.R.M., dia niady ny hahazoana ny satan’ny fanjakana afaka ao anatin’ny Firaisana frantsay – rehefa nitaky ny fahaleovantena madio mangarangarana sy miaraka amin’ny vava talohan’izany. Ity gazetintsika ity anefa dia nampiseho ny fankasitrahany ny fahaleovantena araka ny Dinan’i San Francisco. Taorian’ny fihetseham-bahoaka tamin’ny 1947 sy ny nanapotehin’ny fitondran-janatany izany tolona izany dia nihanalefaka ny fihetseham-bahoaka ary lasa nitaky ny satan’ny fanjakana afaka ao anatin’ny Firaisana frantsay koa. Tsy miova mihitsy anefa ny teti-pitolomana nampiasainy : tsy nivatravatra amin’ny zavatra takiana, tsy mahery vaika koa eo amin’ny fomba fitakiana izany. Tsy nampias hery na oviana na oviana, tsy mitady afa-tsy ny ara-dàlana ary tsy manohitra mivantana ny fitondrana mijoro. Izany foto-pisainana izany dia nahatonga ity gazety ity hitady ny fiarahana foana amin’i Frantsa. Manaraka izany Ny Fandrosoam-Baovao dia tsy nitsahatra ny nankahala kominista satria na ireo mpanoratra tao aminy na ireo mpamaky azy dia samy avy amin’ny sarangan’ny mpanana avokoa amin’ny ankapobeny ;
  Tsy nitady zavatra saro-tanterahina tamin’ny fanjakana frantsay ity gazety ity, hany ka naneho ny fankasitrahany ny Loi-cadre sy ny fampiharana azy, nanomboka tamin’ny 1956 izy. Ny gazety nitaky fahaleovantena sy ny nirona amin’ny kominista dia nihevitra an’ity lalàna ity ho tetika nampiasain’ny fanjakana frantsay handevenana ny fitakiana ny fahaleovantena. Ho an’ny Fandrosoam-Baovao kosa anefa dia io no tena làlana mankamin’izany sata irin’ny Malagasy mafy izany. Nanomboka teo, dia nandany ny heriny rehetra izy niaro ny sampam-pitondrana vao mitsangana, ary dia nisaraka tanteraka tamin’ireo namana naira-nitolona taminy hatramin’izay. Naneho ny fankasitrahany ny fitsanganan’ny governemanta malagasy voalohany izy ary nandà ny fanasana azy ho any amin’ny Kongresin’i Toamasina. Tamin’ny fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka tamin’ny septambra 1958 koa, raha nitaona ny Malagasy handatsa-bato ho an’ny “tsia” ny gazety tia tanindrazana, Ny Fandrosam-Baovao kosa dia nampiely hevitra ho an’ny “eny”.
