Kazakhstan, a country that chaired the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 2010, has not the stature of democracy in the elections Sunday that will allow President Nursultan Nazarbayev, in power for over two decades, stay ahead of the state five years. A grade of "poor" comes from the same OSCE.
The observers of this entity were "the same deficiencies" in previous elections and confessed their "disappointment" yesterday in Astana. However, they are willing to keep waiting to materialize Kazakhstan promises reforms for years. Thanks to these promises, Kazakhstan won the support of the EU's presidency and the OSCE summit in 2010.
Spain was one of his greatest supporters. Among the "serious irregularities" reported by the mission of the OSCE include rigging, vote counts opaque and "many pressures" by the authorities to force citizens to vote. Ambassador Daan Everts, head of the mission, said many executives had threatened his subordinates.
Moreover, the three claimants to the presidency "not attempted" even question the authority of Nazarbayev. According to provisional results, it won 95.5% of the vote and the turnout was 89.8%. These figures allow the president to live up to the title of "father of the nation", to be even above the meteoric and their previous results to the polls in 2005.
Then, achieved a 91.15% and the turnout was 76.8%. The effects of the revolutions in North Africa have come to the dictatorial and authoritarian regimes of Central Asia and Kazakhstan. Although the differences between the two regions are large, there are also similarities such as dependence on hydrocarbons, large impoverished sectors of society, the entrenchment in power of leaders and the lack of democracy.
"The West must press for democratization in Kazakhstan and not look at our country only as a source of oil and raw materials. If pressed, can be found here as a revolt in North Africa and, given our vast resources and our location Russia and China, that would be a problem for everyone. We must warn you about this now, "said Zauresh Battálova, a former senator who campaigned for opposition boycott elections.
Currently there are no signs that Nazarbayev may be a victim of a revolt. Instead, there are Kazakhs dissatisfied with the regime that vote for the president, because they associate it with "stability and peace among different ethnic communities and also a degree of tolerance unthinkable in Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan.
But after the image of stability of Kazakhstan is a major corruption and abysmal social contrasts. At the height of a society that retains many feudal traits is Nazarbayev and around, the representatives of different clans.
