The killing of Bin Laden was a detonator on the political scene in Pakistan. He blew up tensions that harbored for some time, exposed to dangerous ambiguities and uncertainties in recent weeks have marked the life of the ruling party, Pakistan People Party. The party, which holds the majority stake, was looking for new alliances of government to make stronger the government headed by Asif Ali Zardari, president of the republic and the widower of Benazir Bhutto.
Just as the American special forces came into action, the Pakistani government was all folded in on itself, yet another attempt to forge a "marriage of convenience" (as he defines the major commentators in Pakistan) to ensure its survival. The definitive "yes", announced yesterday - a day where games of domestic policy passed into the background "event of the year" - was ratified today, with the entrance in the Federal Government of Pakistan Muslim League -Quaid, political education classes high expression of middle-class, large landowners, political elites, economic and military.
The origins of the party are due to General Pervez Musharraf, then escaped to found a party of his own, but today it includes, among others, the child of the dictator Zia ul Haq and other notables of the Punjab. The duty paid to the new allies was quite high: as many as 7 new federal ministers and seven deputy ministers, while others are preparing polling stations in provincial governments.
The Pakistan People Party, the traditional political force of a popular, secular, democratic, is the party who was the leader Bhutto assassinated Benazhir and today is driven not only by Zardari, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani. A ticket that seems very unbalanced in favor of Zardari, right in policy decision-maker.
It 'was just Zardari to orchestrate the new alliance that did turn up their noses at many, for several reasons: the two parties fought each other until yesterday - one in the government, other opposition - by dint of allegations of corruption , which gave rise to legal proceedings still in progress.
Moreover, the "Muslim League-Q" did not hesitate to go hand in hand with training Islamic fundamentalists in recent months have created a transversal alliance "to defend the honor of the Prophet." A network that has caused many headaches to the government, caught between international pressure (on respect for human rights, combating extremism, freedom for minorities) and blackmail increasingly insistent religious parties, former allies came to heavily influence the 'action.
Just to get rid of this burden, Zardari has decided to forge an agreement that - explained some MPs of the PPP - will be confirmed for the general election of 2013. The point is that the PPP would not fall from the frying pan into the fire: a new arrival, already creaking alliance with a group of senators cha League-Q has decided to remain on the opposition benches, and with the same new ministers have openly unhappy at the lack of political significance of the seats obtained in the government.
In this scenario raided the killing of bin Laden. And the government has had to explain suddenly, awkwardly, to the public, that "Pakistan had nothing to do but did not fit in the blitz." Action only U.S. models, and him alone, he revealed - according to the barrage of objections - the total political insignificance of the Pakistani government in its territory, on the other hand, to allow full cooperation could trigger the reactions of the radical sectors society and expose the institutions to a wave of attacks.
The political balance of the executive of Pakistan has given, then, his best in this period: cash in on the "thank you" for Clinton, stating that the government had acted to protect national interests. The same interests summoned to explain to the country the new covenant, which is necessary, according to analysts, to pass a heavy financial and unpopular, to be held in June, which will fetch on the pockets of citizens conspicuous part of the cost of rebuilding the country after the floods August 2010.
To ask and was the International Monetary Fund as a condition for loans and Zardari could not say no. Bin Laden, at this juncture, it's just a storm passenger who threatened to upset the complicated internal political games. Sonny Evangelista - Lettera22
