DHAKA, Bangladesch \u2014 Die katholische Kirche in Bangladesch hat der neu gew\u00e4hlten Regierung des Landes gratuliert, nachdem die Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) bei der Parlamentswahl am 12. Februar eine souver\u00e4ne Zweidrittelmehrheit errungen hat \u2013 die erste Wahl seit dem von Studenten angef\u00fchrten Aufstand, der 2024 die ehemalige Premierministerin Sheikh Hasina st\u00fcrzte.<\/p>\n

Bischof Gervas Rozario von Rajshahi, Vizepr\u00e4sident der katholischen Bischofskonferenz von Bangladesch (CBCB), sagte gegen\u00fcber EWTN News, die Wahl habe wie ein fairer Wettbewerb gewirkt, und forderte die neue Regierung auf, Menschenrechte zu priorisieren.<\/p>\n

\u201eWir m\u00f6chten lediglich, dass die neue Regierung die Menschenrechte aller B\u00fcrger, einschlie\u00dflich der Minderheiten anderer Glaubensrichtungen und Kulturen, respektiert und f\u00f6rdert sowie Gerechtigkeit und Frieden f\u00fcr alle unterst\u00fctzt\u201c, sagte Rozario, der auch der Kommission f\u00fcr Gerechtigkeit und Frieden der CBCB vorsitzt.<\/p>\n

BNP gewinnt Erdrutschsieg; islamistische Partei wird Opposition<\/h2>\n

Die BNP und ihre Verb\u00fcndeten gewannen 212 der 299 umk\u00e4mpften Parlamentssitze, w\u00e4hrend die islamistische Partei Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami und ihr B\u00fcndnis 77 Sitze sicherten, so die offiziellen Ergebnisse der Wahlkommission von Bangladesch. Die National Citizens Party, eine von Jugendlichen gef\u00fchrte Gruppe, die aus dem Aufstand von 2024 hervorging, gewann sechs Sitze.<\/p>\n

Jamaat-e-Islami wird als wichtigste Opposition im Jatiya Sangsad, dem nationalen Parlament, fungieren.<\/p>\n

Rozario sagte, er hoffe, dass die islamistische Partei eine konstruktive Rolle spielen werde. \u201eWir hoffen, dass Jamaat-e-Islami in der Lage sein wird, die Rolle einer starken Opposition im Haus zu spielen\u201c, sagte er. \u201eDie Menschen in Bangladesch wollen, dass diese Partei sich f\u00fcr ihre Rolle im Jahr 1971 entschuldigt.\u201c<\/p>\n

W\u00e4hrend des Unabh\u00e4ngigkeitskrieges Bangladeschs von Pakistan im Jahr 1971 wurde Jamaat-e-Islami beschuldigt, mit pakistanischen Streitkr\u00e4ften kollaboriert zu haben. Die vorherige Regierung der Awami-Liga verurteilte mehrere hochrangige Parteif\u00fchrer wegen Kriegsverbrechen und lie\u00df sie hinrichten.<\/p>\n

Erste Wahl seit dem Aufstand 2024<\/h2>\n

Der von Studenten angef\u00fchrte Massenaufstand von 2024 erzwang den Sturz von Hasina, deren Bangladesh Awami League das Land 15 Jahre lang inmitten von Vorw\u00fcrfen zunehmenden Autoritarismus regiert hatte. Hasina floh in das benachbarte Indien, wo sie sich weiterhin aufh\u00e4lt.<\/p>\n

Eine \u00dcbergangsregierung unter der Leitung des Nobelpreistr\u00e4gers Muhammad Yunus \u00fcbernahm daraufhin die Macht. Die \u00dcbergangsregierung hielt die Wahl innerhalb von etwa 18 Monaten ab, wobei die Awami-Liga von der Teilnahme ausgeschlossen war, nachdem ihre Aktivit\u00e4ten unter \u00f6ffentlichem Druck verboten worden waren.<\/p>\n

BNP-Vorsitzender Tarique Rahman, der voraussichtlich Premierminister wird, sagte auf einer Pressekonferenz am 14. Februar, dass die neue Regierung vor erheblichen Herausforderungen stehe. Rahman nannte die Notwendigkeit, die Wirtschaft zu reparieren, Recht und Ordnung wiederherzustellen und eine gute Regierungsf\u00fchrung in Institutionen zu gew\u00e4hrleisten, die seiner Aussage nach von der vorherigen Regierung politisiert worden seien.<\/p>\n

Verfassungsreferendum zeitgleich mit der Wahl abgehalten<\/h2>\n

Ein Verfassungsreferendum \u00fcber die \u201eJuli-Charta\u201c \u2013 einen unter der \u00dcbergangsregierung entworfenen Reformplan \u2013 wurde gleichzeitig mit der Parlamentswahl abgehalten. Laut offiziellen Ergebnissen der Wahlkommission stimmten etwa 62% der W\u00e4hler der Charta zu, die weitreichende \u00c4nderungen der Regierungsf\u00fchrung vorschl\u00e4gt, einschlie\u00dflich der Schaffung eines Zweikammerparlaments und Amtszeitbegrenzungen f\u00fcr den Premierminister.<\/p>\n

Katholiken machen weniger als ein halbes Prozent der Bev\u00f6lkerung Bangladeschs von etwa 175 Millionen Menschen aus. Das Land hat acht Di\u00f6zesen, darunter zwei Erzdi\u00f6zesen.<\/p>\n
