Thailand Ready To Allow EU Election Observers

[JurgenG]

Will it be in the EU Election observers mission to check if some candidates have been unfairly disqualified ? Or if others that should have been disqualified were not ?

So far it has been the favorite way of the coup appointed government to defeat the opposition.

Will it be in the EU Election observers mission to check if some candidates have been unfairly disqualified ? Or if others that should have been disqualified were not ?

So far it has been the favorite way of the coup appointed government to defeat the opposition.

For your information the coup appointed government under Gen. Surayud ended 29 January 2008.

As for the EU Election observers the other newspaper has a newsflash about the British Ambasssdor Asif Ahmad paid a courtesy call on Pheu Thai leader Yongyuth Wichaidit in Bangkok. The ambassador seems to have said the EU would send TWO experts to observe the July 3rd polls. The mission is alleged to be 'only election observation without making any comments whether or not the election is free and fair'

Well, how nice and useful. Those lucky two, trip paid-for by European Community taxpayers
