Prime Minister Ruak of East Timor resigns due to intra-government conflict February 25 19:09
East Timor's Prime Minister Luak has announced his intention to step down as Prime Minister Luak of the coalition over the leadership in the coalition has led to confusion as the bill has been rejected by Congress.
In Timor-Leste, in a parliamentary election for an adult, the political union "Union for Development" won the majority of seats, and Luak, who has been president for five years since 2012, was elected Prime Minister.
However, as the confrontation over the leadership of the coalition parties intensified and confusion continued, such as the bill being rejected by Parliament, Prime Minister Luak announced his intention to resign during his term on the 25th. .
In response, Gusman, the first President of Timor-Leste, revealed his intention to establish a new coalition government in six parties, including his own.
Since Timor-Leste became independent in 2002, the economic structure that has relied on the export of resources such as crude oil has continued, but about 40% of the population has a serious problem of being poor.
It is feared that this political turmoil will delay efforts to address urgent issues such as poverty alleviation.
