EU lauds election as ‘important step’ towards democracy

By The Nation

 

 

The European Union [EU] has praised Sunday’s election in Thailand as an important step towards restoring a democratic form of governance.

 

It said it looked forward to the formation of a government that reflected the will of the electorate. 

 

“We stand ready to work with the new government in order to build a deeper relationship with Thailand, to the benefit of our citizens,” its spokesperson said in a statement released on Monday.

 

“Yesterday’s [Sunday’s] peaceful holding of the first fully-contested parliamentary elections in Thailand since 2011 constitutes an important step towards restoring a democratic form of governance,” the spokesperson said.

 

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.

The EU spokesman is obviously the new EU 'Head of Comedy'

 

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.

Unelected technocrats lauding Democracy.

Either the EU is not paying attention or are concerned that someone in Thailand may dig to deep in their activities.

Faint praise!

One more reason (if it were needed) for the UK to leave. What's next - the EU praising Brunei for its human rights record?
