Jatuporn told red shirts not to rally today at Constitutional Court



BANGKOK: -- Red-shirt followers were told not to rally in front of the Constitutional Court today but to join a mass rally planned for this coming Saturday at Aksa or Utthayarn road.

United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) chairman Jatuporn Promphan told his supporters at a rally site in Nonthaburi Tuesday night that there was no need for red-shirt supporters to go to the Constitutional Court today because the court is not “honourable” enough for the red shirts to visit.

He urged the red shirts to join the mass rally on Saturday as earlier planned and said that the mass rally would continue until the red shirts win the battle.

“We know that we will go to Aksa road on May 10 to protest against a neutral prime minister, against a coup. If there is no elected prime minister, there is no need to have a government and we will be the only country which has no prime minister just say for three years. Then we will see how devastating will be for our economy,” Jatuporn told his supporters.

The Constitutional Court is due to deliver a ruling at noon on Thawil Pliensri’s case in which caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra was accused of misuse of authority in the removal of Thawil as the secretary-general of the National Security Council over two years ago.

Another rally cancelled. Why not just cancel the UDD you are getting low on supporters anyway.

I almost barfed when Jatuporn used the word 'honorable'!

[JoePai]

He really does need better dress sense

[doctorproc156]

I understand their grief on how their votes were blocked and how a coup was held to overthrow an elected leader. But is there really a need to protest against everything? Will they accept the verdict of the court even if it is well cited with evidence and shows that the Shinawatra family is in fact in the wrong? I don't have a problem with the UDDs idelogy, but I do have a problem on who they are supporting and where they are getting their funding from.

Grief? Melodrama much?

Excellent, hopefully they will perceive "Bangkok" and its residents as also being not "honorable" and not come and try to burn the place down again

Why not rally at the Constitutional Court, it's not likely that CAPO will do anything, to control or discourage them if they did ?

" He urged the red shirts to join the mass rally on Saturday as earlier planned and said that the mass rally would continue until the red shirts win the battle. "

I think it's safe to say that Jatuporn has breached his bail conditions. He's forming a movement to challenge the authority of the Constitutional Court and to resist a ruling given by it. If that isn't a breach of the law, nothing is. The interesting part of this story is not Jatuporn's irrepressible bluster, but the continual scaling back of rallies. The UDD has all but scattered into disarray. All that remains is the bluster. The army has taken a back seat, but to move against the legitimacy of the court would be a line crossed. The army is obligated to protect the courts and the judicial process.

but he surely knows about "not “honourable”". He is a true specialist in it.

Give it a rest, scamper. Endless bleatings without substance.

Jatuporn, as Head of the UDD has told the members not to gather at the CC and instead go to the already organised rally on Saturday. Hardly a matter of breach of bail.

I'm sure if the judges agree with you, they will rescind his bail.

If not, will you admit you were wrong in your utterings and apologise for misleading the forum. Will you #..............................

Well, by Saturday the battle may well be over. In that case, just forget any more rallies and simply accept the court ruling. THAT would be the 'honorable' thing to do.

Just plain better sense would be a start!!

You never admit you were wrong in your fabrications so why should he. Jatuporn is not allowed to incite inrest or violence so i doubt he is in violation. However i do find it quite funny the excuses Jatuporn makes for his request not to protest at the CC. I think their lack of supporters is the real reason though. Regrouping means they are in too small numbers to make a difference and want all their supporters in one place to make a show of strength.

I reply to criticism and have admitted I'm wrong - when I am. Check out scampers record for that before you blindly back him up.

What kind of English did you study if you equate telling the UDD to not go to the CC, but to attend a rally on Saturday instead, as inciting unrest or violence?

As if they were planning to anyway!

I don't have a problem with the UDDs idelogy, but I do have a problem on who they are supporting and where they are getting their funding from.

Their grief goes a lot deeper than that. It originates from the fact that up until 1985 rice farmers were heavily taxed in order to fund the growth of Bangkok. This tax redistributed wealth from rice farmers to BKK forcing farmers to borrow against their land which was eventually foreclosed leading to a cycle of poverty which only started to improve when Thaksin and his proxies came to power although this was largely due to export growth fueled by the artificially stimulated American economy.

Probably the kind of English which interprets

"He urged the red shirts to join the mass rally on Saturday as earlier planned and said that the mass rally would continue until the red shirts win the battle."

as suggesting there would be a battle (one way or another) ?

I did not know that, thanks for the info. I guess the ridiculous rice subsidy scheme makes a tiny bit more sense now as it appears to be more of a revenge policy against the Bangkok elites more than anything else. I always thought developing the educational sector and providing technical schools to the poor would have been a much better way to spend 300 billion baht, but I guess all of us here can just keep on dreaming. Even still, PTP did push hard for the development of mass transit in Bangkok yet totally neglected the south (which is arguably more important as Malaysia has already completed their dual tracking and electrification of their train lines and are building their High speed train lines soon).

You wanna bet 10,000 baht its not over by Saturday?

This is war get ready for the shit to hit the fan!

The man even does not know what honour means.

An moreover, he has no face also.

Remember, this is the man that covered by his parliamentary immunity called on the redshirts to burn things.

[smileydude]

The UDD and its ideology would be honorable only if weren't so blatantly clear that they are working for the interest of one man.

A majority of the UDD are honest people who believe they're helping Thailand's future. The corruption is in the leadership.
