Einde absolute monarchie in Bhutan

(Novum/Ap) - De nieuwste democratie ter wereld is geboren: het Himalaya-staatje Bhutan. Met de eerste parlementsverkiezingen die daar maandag werden gehouden is een eind gekomen aan meer dan honderd jaar absolute monarchie. De meest koningsgezinde van de twee deelnemende partijen won met grote afstand, maakte de kiescommissie bekend.Bhutan is nooit een pionier van de moderne tijd geweest. Tot 1999 werden televisie en internet uit het bergstaatje geweerd. Lange tijd werden er zelfs nauwelijks buitenlanders in het land toegelaten. De roep om democratie kwam uiteindelijk uit onverwachte hoek: die van het koningshuis. De bevolking stond aanvankelijk sceptisch tegenover het idee. "Zijne Majesteit is als een vader voor ons. Het liefst hebben we toch onze vader" als leider, zei een kiezer. Toch trokken honderdduizenden kiezers maandag naar de stembus, opgewonden om de nieuwigheid, maar ook gespannen om wat een toekomst onder leiding van politici zal brengen.

Bhutan, nestling in the heart of the great Himalaya, has for centuries remained aloof from the rest of the world. Since its doors were cautiously opened in 1974, visitors have been mesmerised: the environment is pristine, the scenery and architecture awesome and the people hospitable and charming.
