However, the EU urged the Thai Election Commission to resolve swiftly and transparently reported irregularities in the election. It said it looked forward to the announcement of the election results as soon as possible.

jethro69 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Must have been a very heavy weekend for the EU spokesman, to come up with such a nonsense. Hitler was elected too, but I didn't hear the word "democracy" in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
