Presidente de izquierda juramenta en Sri Lanka

September 23, 2024 - El nuevo presidente de Sri Lanka Anura Kumara Dissanayake ha juramentado su cargo, prometiendo “reescribir la historia” para un país que se está recuperando de su peor crisis económica

The left-leaning Dissanayake has cast himself as a disruptor of the status quo, and analysts see his victory as a rejection of corruption and cronyism that has long plagued the country.

Saturday's election was the first since 2022, when discontent over the economy fuelled mass protests and chased former president Gotabaya Rajapaksa from power.

Dissanayake has promised to develop Sri Lanka's manufacturing, agriculture and IT sectors. He has also committed to continuing the deal struck with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail Sri Lanka out of the economic crisis while reducing the impact of its austerity measures on the country’s poorest, the BBC said.
