이들 집권층 아들들은 여당인 '캄보디아 인민당'(CPP) 내에서 변화를 주도할 왕국처럼 보였다. 하지만 그들은 전원 이번 선거에서 낙선했다.
Hun Many, Sar Sokha, Say Sam El, Dy Vichea, Dith Tina, Sok Sokan, Kim Rithy, Cheam Chansophoan: This was the dynasty that was meant to shake up the party; young men groomed by their powerful fathers to step in and bring a message of change. Instead, every one of the eight scions listed on the ballot lost.
As the ruling Cambodian People’s Party regroups in the wake of Sunday’s election and considers the future, it would be wise to hone rather than abandon this new focus on youth, analysts said yesterday.
“I think that in this mandate, they will need to include capable youth or qualified young people in their system,” said political analyst Kem Ley. “This time, they realise that they are all old, almost all old; they need to hand it to the next generation.”
- 초선을 노렸던 이들 젊은이들의 공천은 여러가지 측면에서 실패이다.
- 4명은 지역별 공천을 받았지만 자기 아버지들보다 상위 순번에 공천된 경우는 없었고,
- 4명은 예비후보에 공천됐다.
In many ways, these young, first-time candidates appeared to have been set up to fail. None were given a position higher than four on the list, while half of the group were listed as reserves.
Contrast that to the four provincial governors, all of them well into their 60s, who retired from their positions earlier this year. Listed no lower than third on the candidate rolls, three of them won seats.
“It’s a very aged government to begin with,” pointed out political scientist Carlyle Thayer, emeritus professor at the Australian Defence Force Academy. “New blood,” he said, could be highly beneficial to changing the ruling party’s way of thinking.
Indeed, the group shows promise. They are highly educated, both here and abroad, and already hold impressive government positions. Many, 31, Prime Minister Hun Sen’s youngest son, holds degrees from top universities in the US and Australia. Sar Sokha, 34, the son of Interior Minister Sar Kheng, is Phnom Penh’s deputy police chief and studied abroad. So too did two-star general Dy Vichea, 32, who is the son-in-law of Hun Sen and son of the late, notorious National Police Chief Hok Lundy.
Whether it is through dynasties or through new members, the long-ruling party stands in need of young blood, but injecting that into the party is no easy task.
A victim of its own system, the CPP’s highly entrenched patronage networks have stymied development. For two decades, as the party has sought to tighten and cut down on factionalism, it has become ever more reliant on a handful of top leaders and their associates. Such a system has made flexibility, up to the current moment, all but impossible.
But the preliminary results of Sunday’s election suggest the networks may be beginning to crumble.
It’s a reality the party may be considering how to address.
Kong Heang, former governor of Kampong Speu, told the Post yesterday that Many would almost certainly wind up with a seat – that of Senate First Vice-President Say Chhum, who won the first lawmaker position in the province. “Say Chhum will step down in order to continue to work at the Senate,” he said.
The party should continue looking forward, said Thayer, noting that many of the policies on which it had built support over the years had become irrelevant. “They saved people from the Khmer Rouge, but the vast majority of the population was born after. There’s stability, but more and more people are affected by land disputes ... there have been been counterproductive impacts,” he said. “How do they redefine themselves? They can’t live in the past.”
Sokha, who failed to win a seat in Prey Veng despite having his praises publicly sung by none other than Hun Sen, said senior party leaders would be meeting next week to discuss just that. “In one week, we will discuss who will enter the National Assembly and who will get other duties besides that,” he said. “Speaking as someone who didn’t win, of course we want more seats, but we accept it. It shows our doing. It’s like a stick that hit us and we have to be alerted.”

첫댓글 훈센 일파는 "젊은 피 공급"을 떠들면서도,.
자기 아들들조차 상위순번에 들여보내지 않고..
자기 밥그릇들에 완전히 본드를 붙여서 차고 앉은 놈들이니..
이런 자들이
무슨 놈의 나라를 운영한단 말인가..
이런 사태가 날 줄 어떻게 알았겠습니까?
이름만 올려 놓으면 당연히 되는 거고
천년만년 해 먹을 줄 알았읍죠.
여담입니다만...
2주 전쯤에 제법 캄보디아에 관해 아는 척 하는 사람 한명이..
저에게 이렇게 묻더군요..
"훈센의 권력이 장남에게 가겠습니까? 아니면 3남에게 가겠습니까?"
그래서 저는 이렇게 대답해주었습니다..
"장남이든 3남이든... 거기까지는 못 갈 것 같습니다."
라고 말이죠
하여간 이번 선거에서
소위 집권당 3인방인
훈센 총리, 찌어심 상원의장, 헹삼린 국회의장이 출마한 선거구 3곳 모두에서
야당이 더 많은 의석을 차지했다는 점도 시사하는 바가 크죠..
권력의 중심지 프놈펜, 자신의 고향이자 형이 주지사로 있는 깜퐁짬, 사저가 있는 자기 동네 등에서 2등...바로 옆에서 그틀의 행태를 지켜본 사람들의 표심이지요. 저 변방에서야 TV에 비치는 것이 전부라 성군으로 각인될 수밖에. 그러나 SNS의 위력이 점차 시골 구석까지 퍼져 나가니 더 이상 국민 눈가리는 짓은 하기 어렵겠지요?
