Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 684: Remote control of Argentina’s coup

In Melbourne, Australia, William IV sits in the Royal Palace of the Netherlands and controls the situation in South America, including Argentina.

He is very sure of his situation in Argentina this time. This is a subversive case that he has carefully designed for many years. Sarmiento will not let him down.

You must know that Sarmiendo has received full support since 1858. Now 20 years have passed and it is time to harvest.

Thinking back to those cases in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel that this matter in Argentina was just child's play.

Since the Portuguese coup in 1974, the world has entered the so-called third wave of democracy. In this wave of democratic revolution, more than 30 countries around the world have carried out political reforms. , the transition from authoritarianism to democracy was regarded by the world at that time as one of the ultimately good political trends in the late last century.

However, the reasons, methods, and social and cultural backgrounds of these stock price transformations are different, which makes the conditions for maintaining economic development and stability in the democratic process also vary.

Therefore, after the second half of the 20th century, many non-Western countries seem to be suffering from the problem of non-liberal democracy at the same time, like a contagion.

In 1987, the Philippine Constitution restored the American-style three-power-separation-political-governance system stipulated in the 1835 Constitution, as well as the presidential psychological and executive power. The legislative body has a bicameral Congress to exercise legislative power. The judicial organ Formally independent judicial power.

However, after the 21st century, the country can at least still have a strong and entrenched oligarchy. The democratic system left over from the US colonial period in the Philippines excluded the grassroots class and allowed the elite to take power.

In the 21st century, 70% of the seats in the Philippine House of Representatives and Senate are composed of family dynasties, and the nation has become a game of family politics.

Even their presidents were overwhelmingly elected as the new presidents of the Philippines. They divided the pork, while other families occupied important positions such as vice president.

Today's Argentina is even more brutal based on these foundations. Look at the biggest portrayal of Argentina's real-time oligarchic politics under President Miter's rule.

Moreover, each family still divides its own power based on territorial division. The southern Argentina currently occupied by Sarmiento is the best result of this ghost zone in more than 20 years.

Therefore, although Philippine democracy in the 21st century has been in place for many years, the people are very dissatisfied with their system. This is mainly reflected in the implementation of the system in the country. Officials large and small are seeking profits for their own interests, and almost all of them control the system. In the hands of a few elite families, the people seem to have control of the votes, but they have no actual ability to check and balance these politicians who have long held power and money.

family politics

Not only does it reveal the persistent control of a few elite families over the politics of the Philippines in the 21st century and Argentina in the 19th century, but it also reflects to some extent that their domestic constitutions were destroyed by themselves under the rule of powerful leaders in the two countries. Free constitutions, fair elections, Behind the freedom of the press, power and wealth are firmly controlled by a few elites.

In the 21st century, the 40 richest families in the Philippines have devoured 76% of the country's wealth. However, in 1878, the 10 political families in Argentina controlled more than 80% of the wealth. Inequality of power and excessive wealth Concentration made these two democracies the laughing stock of the 19th and 21st centuries.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his main ally in Asia, the Kingdom of Siam (that is, Thailand).

As a representative figure of the military in the 21st century, after his attempt to reach an agreement with the major parties failed, he launched a military coup to overthrow the elite guarding government.

The political situation in the Kingdom of Siam in the 21st century has been unstable for a long time. Although it is a constitutional monarchy, only the King of Siam, as the orthodox symbol of national sovereignty, still has a considerable influence on the constitution. You can get an idea of ​​this from the frequent replacement of prime ministers in the 21st century.

William IV believed that the key to causing such a situation may be repeated political reforms and constitutional amendments. and the result of the power struggle between the royal family and the military.

therefore. He analyzed that the difference between Siam's politics in the 21st century and other countries is that its monarchy-power network is buried deep under the surface of democracy, and its emergence and operation seriously affect the politics of the Kingdom of Siam in the 21st century.
