“民主的盛宴”——评2019年印尼大选与华人参政

Democracy’s Feast: 2019 Indonesia General Elections and Chinese Indonesian Participation

在2019年大选中,印尼首次将总统大选和各级议会选举合并在同一天举行,通称“五合一”选举。印尼“五合一”选举成为全球最大规模的单日选举活动,被印尼总统佐科称为“民主的盛宴”,在印尼民主化道路上具有里程碑意义。此次选举在和平氛围中有序进行,现任总统佐科和大印尼运动党主席普拉博沃再度决战总统宝座,最后佐科胜出,将成为印尼第八任总统。然而,总统选举结果并没有被坦然接受,且引发了一场自1998年以来最严重的骚乱。国会选举结果显示大型政党地位进一步得到巩固,支持佐科的政党联盟获得了61%的国会议席,具有绝对优势,这将为今后佐科执政奠定良好的政治基础。在此次大选中,印尼华人通过组建政党、竞选议员、参与投票等三大路径积极参政,华裔候选人是历次选举中最多的,并取得了不俗的成绩,说明印尼华人进一步融入印尼社会,参政议政进入更加活跃的新阶段。
