以窮人銀行贏得諾貝爾獎的孟加拉的Yunus決定要籌組政黨，他說：我無法脫離政治。他日前向社會徵求是否該參與政治之意見，據表示，民眾支持他參與政治者眾，因此，他決定籌組政黨投入國會選舉。似乎要解決民眾的問題，最終都是政治問題？


Nobel winner Yunus to form political party in Bangladesh

DHAKA, Bangladesh: The Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh announced on Sunday the name of a political party he plans to form soon, saying there was no way he could stay out of politics.

"I will formally launch the party later this month, and it will be named Nagarik Shakti," said Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for his micro-finance plan that earned him the nickname "banker to the poor." The party name translates as "Citizens’ Power."

Bangladeshis from all walks of life greeted Yunus’s Nobel Prize with great joy and national pride, but it is too early to say if he can translate that popularity into politics.

Last week, Yunus urged Bangladeshis, through an open letter, to give their opinion on whether he should get involved in politics and start a new party.

Yunus’s associates said the response had been "enormously positive," but gave no statistics.

Yunus said his party would contest the next parliamentary elections.

"We will immediately form committees in every village of the country to propagate the emerging venture and muster support for me in politics," Yunus said Sunday.

"There is no way I can stay away from politics any longer," he said. "It does not matter who says what about me," he added, apparently referring to a potential backlash among some political leaders.
