Lite Beer Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Suthep urges people to seize government offices BANGKOK: -- Protest leader Suthep Thuagsuban has urged people throughout the country to seize government officials with their bare hands in a bid to overthrow the Thaksin regime. Defending his decision urging his protesters to seize the Finance Ministry, Public Relations Department and Budget Bureau, the former Democrat MP explained that the peaceful seizure of the premises was intended to prevent them from being used by Thaksin regime.“This is the people’s process, not the Democrats’ process. We did for the people, not for the Democrat party,” said Suthep, urging government officials to rise up to reject Thaksin regime.He announced that the protesters wanted to set up a government of the people which will set a new order for the country – one which is truly democratic with the King as the head of state.He said the protesters would not demand anything from the government “because the government is already null and void because it does not respect the Constitution Court.”He categorically dismissed the sedition charge that the police would lodge against him saying that the government itself has rejected the Constitution as well as the charter court.

Popular Post rametindallas Posted November 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2013 Somebody in the anti-Thaksin group should seize Suthep by the throat and throttle him. This is going WAAAY too far. You don't replace non-democratic behavior with non-democratic behavior. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of crap. He urged people in other provinces to follow the example at the ministry by seizing government agencies to protect themselves from the "illegitimate administration". Nothing about seizing government officials with their bare hands. More stupidly twisted alarmist reporting. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going WAAAY too far. You don't replace non-democratic behavior with non-democratic behavior. Why? Thaksin regime break all the laws, does not follow any rules, lies, manipulates, wastes people's money, steals people's money and does not accept ruling of the court. I do not see anything wrong with seizing government houses and offices as long as its done in a peaceful manner. This government has failed to govern and failed to follow the rule of law, who else is there to judge or stop them? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position that Suthep has spent a month getting his rally to is very favourable and showing great signs of success. You seriously think that he is going to get into this position while begging everyone to remain non-violent and not damage any property all along the way... Then go and blow it all and then come out with a statement such as seize government officials with your bare hands... Man you have a cheek to call ME naive. It is you that is naive, and also a very selective believer which you have been called out on many many times on this board. Edited to add: If you read the article, wouldn't you assume that they would have expanded on this 'sensational' item of news?? No mention of it. Go read the Bangkok Post for a proper version of the story. Edited November 25, 2013 by Thainy Tim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sunderland Posted November 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2013 Did he really tell people to 'seize government officials with their bare hands' ??? I think it's a translation or spelling error, but if not, then he's clearly been sharing a tipple with Chalerm. Thai politics is a non-stop comedy show. It's infinitely more entertaining than anything else on TV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that too, but why are you throwing it at me.... it's not even part of my conversation and is related in no way whatsoever. Please answert his. Where are the details in the report, that points to Suthep's statement 'seize government officials with their bare hands'?? Considering that the only place that was said was in the sub-headline. No sir.... this just proves that YOU are the truly naive one, along with your mate above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pi Sek Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I am waiting for the usual suspects, to defend this! Suthep does have a point - legally - that, if the government doesn't accept final Court decisions, then there's not much incentive for anyone else to either. Morally, however, possibly not. I was taught when I was pretty young that two wrongs don't make a right. It's hard to believe that someone trained and very experienced in political horsetrading and the like has overlooked this moral viewpoint preached by every religion ever to exist. What is more democratic than an elected government? This government may have been democratically elected, but it's one of the least democratic governments I have seen in my lifetime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only in Thailand the constitution court have to rule the government. This happens also in Europe without a group calling for dissolving the parliament. The last election in Thailand was free an regular. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thainy Tim Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Well the protesters now have the Finance Ministry also. No mention whether they used their bare hands on the officials though. Just pushed the gates open and walked in as the police walked away.
