Mongolian party calls for ‘national unity’ coalition
Posted by khuushuur under: mongolia .
The Financial Times reports: “The Mongolian People’s Revolutionary party has called for a ‘government of national unity’ following parliament’s dismissal of the Democratic party-led coalition of Tsakhia Elbegdorj, the prime minister.”
A strange move, first forcefully end a government that consists of almost all parties, and then reunite them all. Why?
Protests have been announced by civil movements and the police has gathered in big numbers around the government palace. The protesters will demand new elections for both parliament and president.
Update:
More on the MPRP internal struggles and the demands of of the protesters
