Ecuador am Scheideweg: Rückfall in den Correísmo oder Aufbruch in eine neue politische Ära?

Am vergangenen Sonntag, dem 7. Februar 2021, fand in Ecuador die erste Runde der Präsidentschafts- und Kongresswahlen statt. Aus ihr ging kein eindeutiger Sieger hervor. Andrés Arauz vom sozialistischen Bündnis UNES (La Unión por la Esperanza) konnte sich mit 32,57 Prozent als stärkster Kandidat für die notwendig gewordene Stichwahl am 11. April 2021 qualifizieren. Wer gegen ihn in der Stichwahl antreten wird, ist auch fünf Tage nach der Wahl noch ungewiss. Guillermo Lasso von der liberalen Partei CREO (Creando Oportunidades) und Yaku Pérez der indigenen Bewegung MUPP (Movimiento de Unidad Plurinacional Pachakutik) liegen nach momentanem Stand der Auszählung praktisch gleich auf. Der bemerkenswert knappe Vorsprung des zweitplatzierten vor dem drittplatzierten Kandidaten birgt Sprengstoff in sich.

Office of the High Representative (OHR)

''Future as a duty'' – the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina

A new High Representative will assume office in Bosnia and Herzegovina over the coming months. Valentin Inzko, an Austrian, has been holding this position since 2009. He made repeated efforts to maintain a diplomatic and fair relationship with the key political actors in Bosnia and Herzegovina. An important pre-requisite for the work of a High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina includes vast political experience and support by the international community. An important step for the second pre-requisite has been made with the inauguration of the US President Joe Biden: It is expected that the United States of America and the European Union will again closely coordinate their political engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the neighbouring countries.
