webfact Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Suthep to call largest rally ever in Bangkok next few daysBANGKOK: -- People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) secretary-general Suthep Thaugsuwan last night announced to call the largest rally ever in Bangkok over the next few days in what he called will be the final push to overthrow the caretaker government. He did not elaborate the exact time of the final push but said that this would be the largest rally ever in the capital.He told all supporters and the people from all walk of life and across the country to get ready for the final push and start the reform of the country.Suthep’s call for the final push came ahead of the ruling today by the Constitution Court on the 2-trillion baht loan bill on its constitutionality.Suthep earlier said that there was strong possibility that the caretaker prime minister and her cabinet will not show any responsibility if the bill is ruled unconstitutional by the court.He said her caretaker government has indicated the cabinet should not be held responsible as it was the responsibility of the MPs.Even the bill is a financial bill and those who passed it should show responsibility to resign if it was rejected as practiced by all legislatives in the world, but he said this caretaker would again show no responsibility, he said.With such possibility of defiance of the law, of the court, and repeated wrongdoings, it was necessary to have a final push to overthrow the regime, Suthep said.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/suthep-call-largest-rally-ever-bangkok-next-days/ -- Thai PBS 2014-03-12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fat Haggis Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 How many final pushes is this we've heard from him?I'm all for getting rid of corruption and ALL of those involved currently or have been privy to it in the past..but surely you guys who seem to hang on his everyword you all gave a groan at the headline and thought "not again" ??The final push would be better pushing him away from the PDRCLeadership and put one of the new faces from his eleted peoples council, and for him to step down, I neither like nor dislike the man, and he's definately got some charisma, but he's making me cringe everytime I read about the final push.. from an outside viewpoint it looks more like desperation rather than victory.. Do the followers of Suthep here on TVF not feel embarrased at the number of times he's mentioned the words "Final push" ?? 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbamboo Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 This could be a useful indicator of his current level of support. Maybe if the reds could do the same that would be every more useful. As for the 'final push' let's hope this doesn't translate to 'going over the top'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geriatrickid Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 What happened? Is he jealous of the upcoming UDD rally? Why does he have to have his rally in Bangkok? Haven't the locals suffered enough? Why not have the rally in Surat Thani or on Phuket? It would save the expense of having to bring all those people up from the south. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scamper Posted March 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Constitutional Court's long-awaited ruling today on the 2 trillion baht bill will be a seminal event and the first major volley in the series of legal challenges that the former Yingluck administration faces. If the Constitutional Court deems it unconstitutional, Suthep's suspicions regarding Pheu Thai's response will be spot on. If he is, and Pheu Thai defies the court once again, then that establishes a precedent too frightening to contemplate - a situation where a Constitutional Court ruling is simply ignored, and law itself is seen to be dismiss-able. That is the climate that Pheu Thai and the UDD have been so careful to prepare. It should scare everyone. So, the focus should not be whether Suthep manages to get hundreds of thousands on the streets or even only three or four people. This has never been about Suthep, or the numbers on the streets, or the numbers of tents erected in Lumpini Park. If it was, this movement would have been a non-event from the word go. It hasn't though, and that is because it is a movement of beliefs, not numbers. And the thing about what the PDRC has been consistently right about, and why they have struck such a deep chord in Thai society - is that each day we see actions from Pheu Thai that illuminate the very abuses of power that the PDRC speaks of. Todays' ruling - and Pheu Thai's reaction to it - will indeed be the game-changer. And for those who are skeptical about how the public feels about this throughout the county - need only cast your minds back to the days and weeks following the passing of Thaksin's amnesty bill in the middle of the night. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I thought there was something wrong with my computer and I was getting old news. We've seen this headline a few times now. I agree with Scamper that we will now see PT once again disregard the rule of law. I think Chalerm's remarks yesterday about chaos if the "decision" goes the wrong way". says it all. I also believe that there is a lot of talk behind closed doors and Suthep is planning for a mass demonstration to deter red shirts from coming to Bangkok.

desmondspencer Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Weird... Thought he already called for "Final-push" umpteen times. Isn't he sick of even asking? Cos I sure am sick of hearing it for the "final" time! Most likely only the farmers will join in.... Don't contribute/troll the problem unless you've got a solution!!

Do the followers of Suthep here on TVF not feel embarrased at the number of times he's mentioned the words "Final push" ?? You have to take into consideration 'media poetic license'. My wife listens to all of his speeches, and has confirmed that he rarely has come out with these declarations of 'victory', 'end game', and 'final push'. These are just embellishments laid on by media who interpret all this stuff as 'D-day' marches.... Probably because the headline looks that much appealing from a journalistic angle. But every time they come out with this exhausting repetitive embellishment, it undermines his credibility as a leader. Suthep in actual fact has declared many times that this will not be a quick campaign, and that he fully acknowledges that the government will cling on to the very end, and even that it will take judicial acts to remove them ultimately. He is a very wise man, he is not stupid, he would mix up the messages constantly. Yet on the other hand, the media are more than capable of inconsistency. I suggest people stop being so gullible regarding media releases and start actually watching his speeches screened live every night on bluesky.... If indeed you really want the truth behind Suthep's statements. Also, I would think after all the good work he has done to bring about the fall of this disgusting excuse for a government, to yank him out and replace him would not only be an act of ingratitude and callousness, it would hugely weaken the PDRC movement. The man is NOT replaceable. I doubt anyone in Thailand could have achieved what this cunning fox has achieved for the good of Thailand. Long may he reign. Edited to add, here is an official translation of his mention of a rally, which wasn't even a mention of a rally. Lerla @Lerlaforever 15h Suthep: All my fellow countrymen, get ready and wait for my whistle to blow. We will stage a mass rally to drive them away, one more time. That's it, and that is the comment from the stage last night that spurred this entire story. Edited March 12, 2014 by PepperMe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote: " it is a movement of beliefs, not numbers" Yes Scampi, for once you admit the truth. The belief is the the amart has to control the country. That ordinary Thais are not part of this belief system is indicated by the lack of numbers supporting Suthep and his backers. The protest sites are now occupied only by those paid to be there. Ordinary Thais have sussed out Suthep long ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
