Eeeeeh, all here to talk about Obama, Obama, the young Obama, the first black president of the United States ... And the king's youngest world does not think anybody?
Well, I think, as they are of marriageable age and would prefer a promising young for a sugar-daddy Rattus
... And then ... I found my prey!
on the top of the Himalayas, during an ancient ceremony, Thursday, a handsome young prince was crowned at the head of the youngest democracy in the world, wearing the crown Raven of the Bhutan .
Well, it tells the Khaleej Times : "With his formal coronation on Thursday, the twenty-eight Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck ( here the link in English, most current ) , graduated at Oxford, became the youngest reigning monarch in the world and perhaps one of the most eligible bachelor in Asia. "
all part of a cautious and calibrated modernization process led by the father of the new king, the 52 year old Jigme Singye Wangchuck , who abdicated two years ago after forcing his adoring subjects to embrace democracy. After waiting two years to find an astrologically auspicious date, the Fourth King has placed the crown on the head of his son, formally ending his reign lasted 34 years.
Although, following the country's first elections held in March, the new king did not rule as his father, he will remain an important symbol of national unity and stability, as the Prime Minister Jigme Thinley said in an interview Reuters: "Although in terms of government we are now a democracy, no person ever elected to enjoy the kind of respect, trust and respect enjoyed by the our king. "
the fourth king was also the architect of the national philosophy of Bhutan of national happiness, the idea that spiritual and mental well-being are important, that material prosperity does not would harm the environment or culture.
may be difficult for the young king to deal with a father figure so important, but, according to the director, journalist and director of Centennial Radio Dorji Wangchuck, the new king has already done a good step in trying to reach and identify with the new generation of young Bhutanese. All this has earned the former Prince Blue, "as it was nicknamed during a visit to Thailand, the name of" King of the People. "
With drug abuse, unemployment and crime all on the rise in the Himalayan paradise, and the ' emergence of a new generation of "rebel", the modernization of Bhutan does not seem to be all roses and flowers.
How Wangchuck says: "Young, hoping for a better future, they feel a bit 'more energized by a young monarch .
In conclusion: an urgent trip to Thimpu! ;-)
ps: for those who had never heard of Bhutan (I know, I am overlooking,-P ...), instead of running to open the Commons, go to download movies The Cup (it.: Cup ) and Travelers and Magicians (sorry, I do not know whether it is published in Italian) by Khyentse Norbu.
