webfact Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Student rallies don’t worry Wissanu By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Friday (March 13) he is not concerned about the student pro-democracy rallies continuing in several locales in the country. In the latest, students gathered around the Kamphaeng Phet MRT station in Bangkok on Friday before marching to Parliament to demand amendments to the Constitution, which they believe was rewritten to sustain military control of the government. “I have no problem with their rallying,” Wissanu said. “The government has never prevented student political movements. “However, I have to ask what they expect to accomplish today, since Parliament is closed and they might not be allowed into the building.” Energy Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong said the movement had to obey the law. Besides, he said, it is the job of Parliament to resolve political issues.

Similar was said in 1976. Give the commandoes and police something more important to do. Killing the virus is far more difficult.

BigBadGeordie Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 One has to admit that surgical procedures in Thailand are top notch. Well perhaps not all of them, but the "empathy bypass surgery" appears to has a high success rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly suspect the only reason he has made this comment is because he is in fact fearful of the gatherings, very, very fearful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduction in brown paper bags and lunch boxes might (will) raise a few major concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLock Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 He is right. A few protests by a few thousand sends a message. A lot of protests by millions sends a bigger one. Unless they get organized and are prepared to fight, it's pretty much meaningless under this current Dictatorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
