Pheu Thai Party is skeptical about Suthep's claim

BANGKOK, 19 May 2014, (NNT) -The Pheu Thai Party is skeptical about the claim of the People’ Democratic Reform Committee Secretary General Suthep Thugsuban to surrender on Tuesday May 27th, if his planned 1-week-long mass rally fails to fulfill his group’s objective.

Pheu Thai Spokesperson Prompong Nopparit stated that the PDRC’s moves to both pressure the interim Ministers to resign and to hold the week-long mass rally starting today are illegal, and that the actions offer nothing but a bad reputation for the kingdom.

Mr. Prompong has expressed his confidence that Mr. Suthep won't honor his promise on May 27th, nor would he put a stop to the PDRC protests. He said that today at 10 a.m, his party is holding a press conference releasing a video clip of one of the PDRC’s core leaders Dr. Seri Wongmontha, giving a speech at the group’s gathering in Chicago, United States.

During his speech, Dr. Seri claimed that First Vice President of the Senate Surachai Liengboonlertchi has taken the group’s side and made a deal with Mr. Suthep to help push for a concrete political exit strategy.

Mr. Prompong said the video clip would be submitted to the Department of Special Investigations to press charges against Mr. Surachai on a charge of sedition.

Is there anyone on the face of the earth who actually believes he is a man of his word?

[uty6543]

I believe Suthep will stop the protests next week but that does not mean he will give up on his and the majorities wish to rid Thailand of the Thaksin regime.

This is Mr. Suthep speaking right? Remember his D-day statements? How many D-days have we heard. He is just rehashing his announcement. He has said one too many D-days and so now he is reinventing himself by saying he will Resign. I wonder how many resignation announcements he will eventually end up making?

[Mango Bob]

The whole world is skeptical of Suthep claims not just the Pheu Thai Party. He cried wolf too many times.

Well done sir, you beat me to it

[toybits]

You are just making this up - aren't you? Your claim of having majority? If so, why the reluctance in having an election? Surely you favored political party would win outright majority - wouldn't you? But no! You don't want the election to occur. So there is something clearly WRONG with you claim of having MAJORITY.

I believe Suthep will stop the protests next week but that does not mean he will give up on his and the majorities wish to rid Thailand of the Thaksin regime.

Particularly with this morning's announcement that all State Enterprise workers will be striking on 22nd May in support of his putsch and that CAPO has been put on high alert.

" , his party is holding a press conference releasing a video clip of one of the PDRC’s core leaders Dr. Seri Wongmontha, giving a speech at the group’s gathering in Chicago, United States."

Ummm so the core leader was actually allowed to travel to the US even though he has a charge of insurrection .. laughable!

Can you give us a link anywhere in the world to back up your claim.

[coma]

He is an old bear when it comes to politics. One should never take an old bear's statements on face value. What ever he has up his sleeve I hope it keeps putting pressure on Thaksin Chinawatra and his cronies. And I am sure he will do just that.

Does it not? Or were you under the impression that slogan Thaksin thinks PTP acts was just a catchy phrase?

[Tatsujin]

The whole world is skeptical of Suthep claims not just the Pheu Thai Party. He cried wolf too many times.

And the other side are just as skeptical over Thaksin, Pheu Thai, UDD, Chalerm etc promises . . .

As an example - 25th May 2013: Chalerm: "If I fail [to bring Thaksin home] I'll accept sole responsibility. You can behead me," he told the gathering.

Meaningless hyperbole on both sides as always. It's "The Thai Way" don't you know? lol

You forgot that the Democrats aren't allowed to promote their politic upcountry, the mass media are under control of the Thaksin regime and there is massive vote buying and "organized voting". If Thaksin believes he can win in fair elections why he fights the reforms?

If Yingluck would have said: yes we must reform, give me your ideas and we'll implement them immediately, she would be a hero. Instead she pushed the Amnesty for Thaksin law.

The reason for the reluctance to have an election is obvious to most but this is what I think the reason is. It is because of the vote buying and intimation by PTP and the whole of the red shirt moment forcing the rural poor to vote the way they want. Would you gamble in a casino if you knew the house had rigged the tables so you could never win?

I can claim that the majority want to be rid of Thaksin I think he has lost support over the last six months there are no longer any populist policies left to fool the people that they will gain anything from them. No rice scam scheme, no free tablet computers, no first car rebates.

If PTP think they can win every election why not have reforms first and see what happens?

And why should a Thailand have a PM who does not even live in this country? Nobody voted for him in 2011. Did they?

[chainarong]

PTP is calling the pot black, I am and others are pretty sceptical about your motives as well , so don't start getting on your high horse , everything you do there is a second meaning , you work in a dark secretive void that not everyone likes and when you support something, it's time to start adding up the alternatives and it is not a pretty picture for Thailand.

[dwcrist]

He has already made promises like this before at least once. He said he would pack up and go home if the government was not forced out by sometime late last year or early this year. His numbers dwindled, the government remained in, and he did not leave.

[jennywren]

Oh dear. Real press freedoms in Chicago.

Wonder if the Thai Courts and PDRC will be moving the threat machine over there re this much talked about video.

Is this the vaginal surgery joking guy or am I mixing my Dr's gone bad up?

[toybits]

But but but, your crony uty6543 said you have majority? So there is no way the minority can win! Or there is something wrong with your math. Stay on the topic.

"You forgot that the Democrats aren't allowed to promote their politic upcountry..."

Why would the dems waste resources 'up country', they have shown over decades their lack of respect for the 1 in 3 voters who live there. The dems and in particular Abhisit will NEVER win in the northeast, not so much for what they have done, more for what they have not done over a very long period when they were in power. As for not being allowed to promote their politic, well I doubt PTP would have much success in Yala, Narathiwat or Surat Thani.

is his family and money already in dubai??

[toybits]

What a load of BS! Your claim of majority has no basis. You are clutching at straws. Nice try but doesn't quite make it...

[Katipo]

It's not just Suthep. Politicians on both sides make outrageous claims backed up by promises to do this or that should they fail. Chalerm is still wearing his head, for example.

These people really have no shame, and Thailand would be better off without the lot of them.

Well. let's see. Start with Al Jezeera. There was an excellent article there this morning - "Time out for Thailand's Elites" that lays things out pretty well. Then try BBC and Ruters. If you can't figure out how to do that, then return your computer to the place you bought it, and when they ask why, tell them you aren't smart enough to use it.

NOTE: If you're a Suthepesta, Yellow, Royalist, Elitist, the Al Jezeera article might upset your sensibilities, as the truth usually does for both sides.
