Elezioni in Nigeria - da Nigrizia.it
04/25/2007 In Nigeria c’è stata “una volontà politica perché il voto non fosse trasparente”, secondo Vittorio Agnoletto, tra gli osservatori europei a Lagos. Ritardi nell'apertura dei seggi, schede elettorali mancanti, brogli, pressioni politiche e isolati casi di violenza hanno caratterizzato le elezioni del 21 aprile. In base agli scrutini il vincitore sarebbe il candidato del partito di maggioranza, sostenuto da Obasanjo. Osservatori e candidati dell’opposizione hanno già chiesto le ripetizione del voto, ma difficilmente il governo permetterà il ritorno alle urne. "Se il governo nigeriano dovesse decidere di accettare le critiche degli osservatori e decidesse di ripetere le elezioni sarebbe un fatto straordinario e importantissimo perché con la diffusione, la consapevolezza e l’ampiezza della partecipazione della società civile che abbiamo visto in questo giorni, in Nigeria è possibile fare delle elezioni democratiche e trasparenti". E' proprio questo il segnale più positivo: la società civile nigeriana si è dimostrata, infatti, un soggetto forte e attivo.
