グアテマラ大統領選、ノーベル平和賞受賞の女性候補、初挑戦も6位

グアテマラ大統領選、ノーベル平和賞受賞の女性候補、初挑戦も6位に終わりました。
ノーベル賞受賞と選挙はまた別物。
選挙と言うのは、資金力がモノをいう。また、階層による偏見、ジェンダーによる偏見が強い国ではいまだに弱者にとっては厳しい。
また、選挙運動でマンチュさんの支持者2名を含む50人が殺害されているという。
選挙が戦争の代わりだ、と誰かに教わった覚えがありますが、本当に命がけの国があるのだなあと思いました。

Nobel Laureate Rigoberta Mench・Tum Finishes Sixth in Guatemala Presidential Election
Nobel Peace Laureate and human rights activist Rigoberta Mench・Tum lost her bid for Guatemala's presidency Sunday, finishing sixth in a field of 14 candidates. The country's first indigenous presidential candidate, Mench・Tum garnered three percent of the vote after a difficult campaign marked by inadequate funds, sexism, and discrimination based on her Mayan-Indian background.
"I have the great honor of being able to open up this space," Mench・Tum told the Associated Press in March. "Things will never be the same here again."
According to Reuters, the campaign was marred by the worst political violence the country has seen since the end of its civil war.
At least 50 people involved in the election were killed, including two activists that were distributing leaflets for Mench・Tum campaign.
The Feminist Majority Foundation honored Mench・Tum with a Global Women痴 Rights Award in 2006. She has continuously campaigned for the rights of women and indigenous people, who have long suffered poverty and racism in Guatemala and who faced torture and massacres during Guatemala痴 36-year-long civil war.
