The ideals of the Mongolian democratic revolution have been betrayed but can be reinvigorated with active people’s participation, said former Foreign Minister S. Oyun at a celebration to mark the 10th anniversary of the establishment of her Civil Will Party. She asked members to be vigilant about a “wealthy minority” in the country which was following “repressive measures” to tighten its hold over the government and ordinary people. 

She said this “decade of our fight to assert the people’s rights” has been marked by erosion of people’s power before those who “buy votes by disbursing and promising cash”. Persons of “integrity and intelligence” must come forward to “grab the reins of governance from this minority”, so that social justice might prevail. Any society will have different economic strata, but there should be “nobody so poor as not being able to support his/her family and no son so made so unfortunate that he cannot help his old mother”.

She felt a drastic change in the current norms and structure of social governance can be brought about by adhering to the Constitution, and by adopting and implementing proper development goals. Parliament has to be kept true to its avowed goal of representing the people. The Civil Will Party is ready to cooperate with other political parties, civil movements, and NGOs in this task.
