Gravelrash Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 There is no better time than this for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to show that he is serious about an attempt to reconcile the country after years of political divisions. One thing he has to prove is that the PAD does not stand for the People's Alliance for the Democrat party. It really is the People's Alliance for Democracy. Many people have reasons for that suspicion. The Democrats simply turn a blind eye to party member Somkiat Pongpaibul, who was a frequent speaker for the PAD during its month-long rally to oust then prime ministers Samak Sundaravej and Somchai Wongsawat. Again, he showed up at the PAD gathering in Udon Thani on Saturday. Another regular speaker, Kasit Piromya, was rewarded the top position at the Foreign Ministry. The qualifications of Mr Kasit demonstrate he is suited to be foreign minister. But his remarks supporting the PAD rallies to force the closure of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports raised doubts about his suitability. That could be a reason why the effort to take action against those involved in the airport and Government House seizures is moving at a snail's pace. The prime minister has stressed on several occasions that the Democrat-led coalition government will use the rule of law to govern the country and try its best to achieve national reconciliation. The position is now being challenged by the PAD. Full article Bangkok Post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
