The by-elections, which was dubbed by some as “sell elections,” meaning they were held for the purpose of selling to the international community the idea that Burma has turned over to a new leaf (better still, that the tiger has all of a sudden become vegetarian), have prompted several comments from Burma observers, both at home and abroad.
Las elecciones extraordinarias , llamadas por algunos "elecciones para vender", queriendo decir que las elecciones fueron convocadas con el fin de vender a la comunidad internacional la idea de que Birmania ha pasado página (mejor aún, que el tigre de repente se ha vuelto vegetariano), ha provocado comentarios entre los observadores de Birmania, tanto en casa como en el extranjero.
