Chuan admits reconciliation panel will not include all sides

By THE NATION

 

Chuan Leekpai

 

Parliament president Chuan Leekpai told press on Tuesday he had consulted Privy Councillor Surayud Chulanont and former PM Somchai Wongsawat about plans for a national reconciliation committee to resolve rising political conflict.

 

Chuan said that Surayud, a former Army chief and post-2016 coup PM, declined to express an opinion on the topic.

 

“However, he asked all sides to consider the community at large,” he added.

 

Meanwhile Somchai agreed to do whatever was in the national interest.

 

Chuan also said that the reconciliation panel would not consist of representatives from all sides of the conflict, as proposed by King Prajadhipok's Institute.

 

The youth-led protest movement has already dismissed the panel as a waste of time and reiterated its demands for the PM’s resignation, dissolution of Parliament and monarchy reform.

 

Chuan said the panel would represent as many sides as possible.

 

Last week, the institute advised that the reconciliation committee take one of two forms – representatives from all sides of the conflict, or independent middlemen selected by different sides.

 

Chuan said the second option was a possibility, and suitable middlemen were currently being approached.

 

He said last week that the two proposed panel formats could be adjusted or merged, adding he would hold talks with stakeholders before making a final decision.

Then why bother to have a reconciliation panel?

Ohh we will only consider people who are in agreement with us to be involved, bloody pathetic.

Very hard to achieve reconciliation if you don't include all parties in the process as those not included will continue to create the problems that your trying to solve .

                                                                                                                                                         What he is saying is that they are not important to him and therefore will not be included which is fairly typical thinking of a bureaucrat .

= wast of time

= delay tactic

 

Doing what is good for the national interest.   Think an angry teenager has a better idea than these useless politicians.  They are just playing around on the tax payers money.   It is just shameful.   Thailand is lucky to have great kids.

The problem with middlemen is they can be bought !

Some army, some minions and a few dinosaurs. Seems like "all sides" to most?

 

I love how the PtB mention "sides" as if there is any sort of equality, and when they really mean top and bottom.

Surely Ken needs to be there? You know, just in case there are any differing viewpoints.

Plus the only thing that will be achieved is delay and nothing more, i.e. a waste of time and resources.

Well he is the President of the Privy Council, which is "above" politics.
