Democrat Party to file defamation suit against Nakhon 

By Thai PBS

 

 

The Democrat Party has decided to take legal action against Nakhon Machim, a former Democrat MP for Phitsanulok, for allegedly accusing it of conspiring with the military and the judiciary to topple the governments of former prime ministers Thaksin and Yingluck Shinawatra.  

 

Mr Wirat Kallayasiri, head of the party’s legal affairs, said the party, with approval from its leader Abhisit Vejjajiva, will next week file a defamation lawsuit against Mr Nakhon for making a false accusation against it on the social media. Mr Nakhon left the Democrat Party and defected to the Chart Pattana Party in 2013.

 

In his statement, Mr Nakhon, a former member of the Democrat Party, implied that the Democrat Party secretly worked with the military to overthrow the governments of Thaksin and Yingluck because it was unable to beat the Pheu Thai Party in elections.

No surely not. Who would ever have thought ?

Is a defamation suit the yellow one favoured in the generals dress down day.?

Children playing at being adults. 

The court of public opinion has already concluded that long long ago. Better for the Dem to be open about this and purge all their members who were part of the plot to deceive the electorate that the party was democratic. Bring that the old party culture of opposing the military back. Still time for the Dem Party to live up to their name.
