Pakistan: from the crisis to crisis

The forced resignation of Pakistan Prime Minister Yusufa, Gilani, analysts consider evidence of the ongoing confrontation of the elites. This led to the fact that the country is again controlled by those who came to power after the election. Internal political disagreements prevent Pakistan from solving security problems and pressing economic problems.

The termination of the Supreme Court of Pakistan of the powers of Yusuf, Gilani, is connected with the refusal to resume the investigation in the case of corruption in relation to President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari. In 2003, the court in Switzerland in absentia recognized Zurdari and his wife Benazir Bhutto, who died during the attack, guilty of laundering several million dollars.

Gilani refused to resume the investigation, referring to the presidential immunity of Zardari. The Prime Minister did not send the Swiss authorities a request for evidence and data of the president’s bank account to initiate a criminal case. This was done contrary to the abolition by the Supreme Court of the Decree on an amnesty adopted in 2007, which allowed the country to return to the country to former Pakistani officials and opposition politicians against whom criminal cases were instituted. For disobedience to the court in April of this year, the Supreme Court found Gilani guilty, and according to the Pakistani Constitution, the convicts did not have the right to occupy government posts within 5 years. Referring to the decision adopted in April, the representative of the Supreme Court of Pakistan the day before said:

Mr. Yusuf Gilani is disqualified as a deputy of the parliament and, accordingly, the prime minister of the country. The termination of his duties of the Prime Minister dates back to April 26, 2012.

Western newspapers critically reacted to this decision. In the article on the website of the London Royal Institute of International Relations, the court’s actions were called a “legal coup”:

While the Pakistani Supreme Court claims that it acts in accordance with the law, the cases that he considers raise questions about his impartiality. There are suspicions that the Pakistani military is patronizing the Zurdari case in the desire to achieve the government’s resignation. They hope that thanks to this in the next parliamentary elections of the Pakistani People’s Party, it is unlikely that they will be able to win. [She is headed by the current president, and in the last parliamentary elections she received the most votes of votes.] Despite the shortcomings of the Pakistani People’s Party, the deposit of the prime minister from the authorities is in doubt whether the first civil government of the country can hold out until the end of its authority?

The British newspaper Daily Telegraph writes about Pakistani military who can influence political life in the country. She believes that Egypt repeats the fate of Pakistan, paying attention to the recent decisions of the Military Council to expand their powers:

Egypt's military junta, - writes the newspaper, “tries to turn the country into a new Pakistan. This means that the presence of itself from the inside and located in a stagnation of a military dictatorship, which only sporadic democratic events are able to move. This is a tragic result for the country, which, as expected, will reveal the era of the political renaissance of the Arab world.

The United States reacted calmly to the news of the termination of powers of Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf, Gilani. The official representative of the US State Department Victoria Nuland said:

The question about the future Gilani and the court hearings on his case on ear for some time. However, we had the opportunity to work all this time with the Pakistani government. And we hope that we will be able to continue to interact with the Pakistani side in order to solve the problems that we must solve.

The daily publication "Wall Street Jornal" writes that the previous problems of Pakistan cannot be solved by the appointment of a new prime minister and permission to begin an investigation in the case of corruption in relation to the current president:

Islamabad can hardly afford domestic political ranges, since there is no stability in the economy, and terrorists become stronger. The trust of society in the existing shaky democratic institutions is reduced. The middle class continues to emigrate. Pakistan challenged those who called him a "failed state", but again to experience fate and choose a non -imprateric change in power would be recklessness .
