webfact Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 UDD to step up demonstration during May 17-19BANGKOK: -- The United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) will step up its rally at Utthayan road during May 17-19 to coincide with the planned mass demonstration by the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC).UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan said Thursday that the political situation was approaching the breaking point pretty soon as the three-day period would be an important battle.He likened the current situation to that of May 2010 when Bangkok was transformed into a war zone pitting red-shirt followers against security forces and the situation in front of the Rajmangala stadium late last year when red-shirt followers clashed with Ramkhamhaeng University students.Besides Jatuporn’s hard talking, the rally at Utthayan road on Thursday remains peaceful with entertainment activities being held on the protest stage alternating with the making of hard-hitting speeches by red-shirt leaders.Source: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/udd-step-demonstration-may-17-19/ -- Thai PBS 2014-05-16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuttering parrot Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 He's pretty much right it's reaching breaking point! I feel that the festive atmosphere will soon deteriorate when the fiery speeches start. Nobody wants a return to 2010 so it's time for the PM the leader of the democrats both come out a make bipartisan statement calling for calm. Unfortunately suteps actions in derailing any for of talks to break the deadlock is only going to inflame the situation and the way he is allowed to roam free causing rising tension should brought to a halt right now. The EC isn't helping by flip flopping around an election date.The media is helping by the sensational headlines and it's reporting of sutep having close ties with the new speaker. If it's true that sutep has now no legal basis then he should be made redundant and removed from the scene. Then of course if he fails the mad monk says he's got his own plans and who knows what he's got install. Whatever they are it's not going to be pretty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red shirt numbers will stay small as long as the hope for a peaceful election exists. As soon as that hope disappears the Red numbers will rocket up and people will be reminded that there are far more Reds than Yellows (or whatever colour Sutheps thugs are today). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any non-partisan poster on here can immediately see who is inflaming the situation...!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rucus7 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 They luckily are not very proficient with their use of thumpers. My guess is lack of ammo to practice with. Also it is difficult to practice fire and be subtle around your neighbors, even in rural northern Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a future Juthaporn is blowing all this hot air for.............or is it just to fill his fat bank account while real people like the rice farmers starve!! What a strange view you have. Thaksin, his sister, they were actually voted in so that would equal democracy. Suthep is hell bent (rightly or wrongly) in over-throwing an elected government, he's the person who wants to install his own unelected people's council, he has taken away people's basic right to vote. His thug "guards" are stabbing seemingly innocent people for no reason and intimidating the public. Tell me again which one is dictator material? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
