webfact Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 CONSTITUTIONAL COURTFM warns of possible violence if court rules against YingluckBANGKOK: -- The red shirts may stage a rally that could turn violent if the Constitutional Court rules against the caretaker premier over her unlawful transfer of the security czar, caretaker foreign minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul said Thursday.The Court on Wednesday agreed to consider a petition by a group of senators against Yingluck Shinawatra over an alleged conflict of interest in her removal of NSC chief Thawil Pliensri. If found guilty of breaching the Constitution, Yingluck will lose the premiership automatically and her entire Cabinet could be removed too.Surapong, referring to the mass rally by the reds planned for Saturday, said "it was definitely possible (that violence could take place).""Such a vacuum is not healthy and chaos will almost surely follow," he said, adding "I'm not trying to instigate violence but I see the pressure and that Thais are hottempered. Chaos can break out at any time. I am not threatening the court, I am just speaking the truth," he said.By "vacuum" Surapong was referring to a situation that would occur if Yingluck were disqualified as the country does not have a House of Representatives but the Constitution requires that the premier comes from among the MPs.The Supreme Administrative Court last month ruled that Yingluck's transfer of Thawil was illegal.Whether the whole caretaker Cabinet must go if Yingluck is disqualified remains a controversial issue.Pheu Thai's key members insist that Yingluck has the right to transfer Thawil. If Yingluck were to be disqualified as the antigovernment group wishes, this would result in a political vacuum as a nonelected premier is not possible under the Constitution.Meanwhile caretaker Labour Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung said that if Yingluck were disqualified, a deputy premier could replace her and take charge.Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva said the court's acceptance of the case did not mean it would definitely disqualify Yingluck. The order to transfer Thawil was ruled as unlawful but the court would have to consider if Yingluck had violated the Constitution by interfering in the transfer for her benefit of that of her group.-- The Nation 2014-04-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelplatoon Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Of course no one can control the red militia. And they ARE fighters of democracy. Just imagine if another independent agency, put in place to ensure democratic processes, would dare rule against her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TVGerry Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2014 A cabinet minister 'warning' the judiciary with violence from red shirts if they rule against their boss's sister. I'm sorry but don't talk crap about 'democracy' when in REAL democracies you'd never see a cabinet member threaten the judiciary like this. This is Shinawatra 'democracy'. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Mr Chalerm sounding quite sensible is a bit of an eye opener. Mr Surapong seems to be advocating violence in a not so subtle way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post seajae Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2014 so we have the ptp and red claiming democracy but threatening violence of democracy is not done their way, ie, if the legal processes find any of them guilty they will start the violence. These people are simply terrorists in the paid employ of thaksin and will do whatever he tells them too, this has nothing to do with democracy at all, it is sim[ply thaksins will, he doesnt care for the people of Thailand 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so was your cousin Thaksin when he told his supporters to fight the army. Thaksin claimed to be very close to Thailand and would come once the fighting started. Chalerm has openly asked protesters to join Saturday's rally. So has Deputy Government Spokesperson Sunisa. During the last Red protest at the Olympic stadium in Bangkok the Red shirts enjoyed police escort. Also the police, by not investigating the killings of anti government protestors (including children) is giving a message that violence against people who do not support the Shin clan is ok. Hypocrites. Edited April 3, 2014 by Nickymaster 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are fools, oppressed by PTP and asking for further feudal oppression. They're violent, uncouth, stupid as a box of rocks, and resemble the Khmer rouge in a less organized rag tag sort of way. They really suck at using grenades too, 555. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 If Surapong wants violence all he has to do is stop by my place I will give him more than he wants. It will be done in the spirit of helping a fellow human being achieve his life long ambition. That is not a threat just stating how much I want to help my suffering fellow human being succeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find them infuriating patient when they are behind the wheel. They have no problem just sitting there behind a double parked car while the guy is in getting some thing from the store. Or is just plain confused as where to go. Riding in Songthaew's and tuck tucks I see a lot of that. I am not prone to road rage but I know if it was me behind the wheel I would be upset a lot where as they just take it in stride. How ever get in an elevator with them and they are pushing the close button before people can get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoopyDoo Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Fine.... it is not something nobody knew anyway. We all know what the red shirts are capable of, and we all know who is steering them, and that is right through the government via their UDD militia terrorist wing . No need to come out and tell us what will happen, even the courts know this, the army knows this and the people know this. If you do call the reds into attack mode, be prepared to watch them get slaughtered, because I can confirm for you that 99% of the people will rise up against these bunch of nutters and slay them to the four winds. The PDRC won't remain peaceful if the reds come a burnin. That will be the straw to break the camel's back, and it will NOT be good for the red shirts and the UDD will cease to exist thereafter. It;s coming anyway, so let's enjoy the second installment of the buffalos being served their retribution. You think it is only the reds that have guns and grenades?..... Th military will firmly be on the side of the people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubl Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I wonder how the caretaker MoFA Surapong is going to explain this to foreign envoys and diplomats. Probably by repeating his request to them to help get their people here as tourists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Scamper Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2014 Again, Thaksin's cousin manages to explode any pretense of impartiality he may have assumed he has ever projected to the public. The man that channels Thaksin is telling all of us that the Earth needs now to stop revolving. That's it. Simply ask it to stop. And when the Earth has stopped revolving, the courts need to be told to quietly go home. The Reds are too upset, you see. They might not like the ruling of the court. So in the best interests of all ( Thaksin ) perhaps we should just stop the Earth from revolving, ask the courts to go to the beach, and we can start all over again. In the meantime, Surapong will continue to intimidate the court through the media in every way he can. What's a foreign minister for ? If ever Yingluck's cabinet is impeached, let him be the first out the door. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker69 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Not long ago Yingluck said "Shinawatras want peace not power".

Popular Post WoopyDoo Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2014 She vowed to die on the field of democracy, and here it is happening in front of her eyes and it now seems she doesn't like it. So Surapong and Chalerm are now admitting that the red shirts are actually against democracy, because all I now see is true democracy in action for the first time in Thailand. You break the laws of constitutional democracy and you pay the price. You die on its field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
