Constituent Assembly defeated the major parties of the Himalayan kingdom: the farewell of the King soon
KATHMANDU (NEPAL) - The Maoists have obtained 61 seats out of 108 have already been assigned. And the trend promises to be the same in all districts from the reincarnation of Vishnu, a Communist leader Mao's model of revolutionary fighters and the Sendero Luminoso in Peru. This is enough to grasp the scope of the change after the elections last Thursday in Nepal. The first results yesterday gave clear victory for the party led by 52 year-old Pushpa Kamal Dahal, better known by his nom de guerre: Prachanda, "The Terrible." "A much bigger success than expected," the observers said yesterday evening. The Maoists have seized control of at least 61 seats in the 108 constituencies counted already and would be a leader in many of the rest.
Two other major parties, the Marxist-Leninists and the centrist Nepali Congress, does not seem to have passed until yesterday evening, 16 seats each. "An unexpected turn. Until a few days ago it was thought that the formation of Prachanda would come only third. Instead, they might even gain an absolute majority, "Lok Raj Baral noted, a researcher at the Center for Strategic Studies in Kathmandu. The immediate consequence is of historic significance: the end of the monarchy after 238 years of reign unchallenged on a population in excess of 27 million and a region-bearing where today more than ever weigh the challenges of economic and political growth of India and China. The Maoist leaders appear to be destined to play the part the lion among the 601 members of the Constituent Assembly should meet soon.
abolition of the monarchy - "The Eclipse of the royal house was inevitable. King Gyanendra has virtually signed his statement in April 2006, when after the great public events of that time agreed to confine itself to a purely ceremonial role and with Prachanda has agreed to a route which it will vote on a new constitution. Soon, within a few months, the Constituent Assembly will vote, therefore, the abolition of the monarchy and the beginning of a secular republic and communist, "she says by phone from the Nepalese capital Prateek Pradhan, editor of the English-language daily The Kathmandu Post. Evolution, however, gained from at least a decade of internal turmoil. The discontent with the corruption of the royal family and to his riches in one of the poorest countries in Asia resulted in fact in 1996 with the growth of violent communist rebellion. In 10 years the dead were at least 13,000. But the coup de grace came in 2001 when the then king Birendra and his family members were killed in the royal palace. The murderess was identified with the king's son, who then committed suicide. But many in Nepal believe that the inspiration may have been the same Gyanendra. A shadow that has discredited not just the figure of the monarch, regarded by the local Hindu tradition as a direct incarnation of the god Vishnu. In 2005, Gyanendra then tried to impose its absolute power. A year after the riots was forced to deal with the Maoists square. But Prachanda may not have easy life. His recent openings in key moderate to a market economy are viewed with suspicion by the more radical wings. Already a dozen movements in southern ultrarivoluzionari have accused him of "contract of capitalism" and threatening further violence. Lorenzo Cremonesi
