Lite Beer Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Democrat says Pol. Lt. Col.Thaksin claims reconciliation cannot be achieved without him By NUPPOL SUVANSOMBUT. BANGKOK, 27 February 2011 (NNT)-The Democrat Party's Spokesperson Dr. Buranat Samutarak said former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's claim in his interview with the Japanese media that the national reconciliation could not be achieved without him was just an attempt to return to Thailand. Dr. Buranat explained Pol. Lt. Col. Thaksin would be able to return to Thailand as long as he, like some of the Red Shirt core members, accepted legal charges against him and did not skip countries nor use his other nationality to evade the law of Thailand. Dr. Buranat also dismissed the claim by Mr. Thaksin's lawyer, Noppadon Pattama, that the exiled leader was holding Montenegran citizenship out of necessity, citing that Mr.Thaksin's aim was only to escape the long hand of the law. -- NNT 2011-02-27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljeque Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 How can he come back and run for office if he holds another citizenship, just like the complaits against Abhisit. At least Abhisit was born in another country, and was a citizen simply because of birth, not because of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems Abhisit is getting too much good press and the damned hamsters not getting the wished for traction. Cue for Noppadom and 'story time'.

Don't know what this gobblededook means but the truth of what Thaksin says is self evident.There can't be true reconciliation without him paying a part.Doesn't mean he shouldn't serve time or have his assets restored (though this will presumably be part of the bargaining process).Personally I think for the good of the country he should formally undertake not to seek public office.Watch this space but I don't think much will happen on this front for a few years, ie until wounds on both sides have healed.

Wonder if they'll ever reveal all of his payments and support to the red shirts from abroad. Surely there are tons of other charges that could be brought against this heckler.

slapout Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 If the man had any balls he would come back, throw himself on the mercy of those who matter and show how, and why he can be Thailand's savior. IF he has the public support, he and his henchmen claim, any unfair treatment would result in protests similar to other countries at the present time. Gamblers and politicians are not acceptable to their peers unless they are willing to back their hand to the extreme. At present Thaksin seems content to bank roll other players instead of getting in the game and playing by the house rules (match any bet or fold, pot limit is for those who anti up the initial buy-in which he has not) Right now he is following the actions of displaced, out of favor, has been, wannabees of past and present times.

Buchholz Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I thought Thaksin lost his police rank?? 2 year-plus waiting... and still waiting waiting for the police stripping him of his rank Pol. Maj-Gen. Panya Aengchuan, commander of the police department's disciplinary division, said a proposal to strip Mr. Thaksin of his police rank of lieutenant-colonel would be sent to National Police Commissioner Pol. Gen. Patcharawat for his consideration. Noting that a court had already judged and imposed a two-year imprisonment on the ousted premier minister, Gen. Panya said Mr. Thaksin is found to be in breach of police regulations, which stipulates that a police officer's rank must be stripped if the person is convicted and escapes to avoid imprisonment. On October 21, the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Positions found former police officer Thaksin guilty of a conflict of interest and sentenced him in absentia to two years in jail. -- TNA 2009-01-08 AND... the 2 year-plus waiting also applies for the return of his royal decorations... Thaksin willing to return royal decorations The Nation - October 13, 2008 Ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra will likely agree to return all of his royal decorations if required to by law, Government Spokesman Natthawut Saikua said yesterday. If Thaksin fails to appeal the Supreme Court's guilty verdict and two-year jail sentence against him in the Ratchadaphisek land case, the Knight Grand Commander (Second Class, higher grade) of the Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao would need to be recalled. A PM's Office decree endorsed by then-PM Thaksin in August 2005 gives eight criteria for the recalling of royal decorations, including if a person is convicted by the highest court and ordered to serve time in prison. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ epilogue: Thaksin DID fail to appeal his guilty verdict, but has never complied with the recall law he himself signed..

Former-PM from several years ago, now living & shopping in Dubai, who has quit Thai politics, but is still thought to be able to attract 175% of the Thai-electorate, including those areas which consistently didn't vote for him in the old days.
