Satit says martial law not affect rally

BANGKOK: -- People's Democratic Reform Committee leader Satit Wingnongtaey said the martial law has no effect on their rally. However, they decided to cancel their marching schedule Tuesday and the PDRC will meet at 10.30am to evaluate the situation and make a decision on the next move.

He said the martial law invoked by the army was aimed at preventing violence and riot. He said PDRC supporters are still able to join the rally stage in front of UN building on Rajdamnoen Road.

Not affect, then why cancel march?

Contradicting as always.

Double standard as always. The Yellows can do anything in Bangkok.

So once they get rid of the reds who just came into town, it's business as usual?

[The stuttering parrot]

According to sutep he was going to resign and send the protesters if the government was still intact after the 27th!

Well it might be Marshall law but if the government is still intact as of that date I will be looking forward to him keeping his word and handing himself into police.

That would make the military's easier!

Then on with the elections.

Then the PTP wins in a landslide.

Then the yellows don't like the result.

Then the yellows use all means to throw out the elected government.

Then the red shirts come .

Then the military declare Marshall law.

Then there's elections

Then...........

It truly is a basket case!

Do you have any problem with that?

BTW, Does Satit need to stand on a chair when he is on stage?

Good to see that the army are equal to both sides. Capo and the police proved clearly they are one sided, but the army have allowed the red shirts and the PDRC to continue to rally while making it clear they have to stay in their own rally sites and not mix under any circumstances.

Of course some will distort facts and though the last 7 months have shown a one sided implementation of the rule of law that is ignored by Jatuporn and co. As soon as the army open the rule of law up to be equal to both sides. It is then one sided according to Jatuporn and co. The followers of the UDD don't even question it. Why? Because Jatuporn does their thinking for them.

That is PTP logic right there.

/\ Asshat /\ I would think most people have a problem with elitists telling the other 99% of the country they can go screw themselves. Just watch how the world reacts with the baht. Thailand can tell us to butt out but we sure as heck can remember not to invest in any institutions. When that happens pray and I mean PRAY really hard that you don't become Cambodia.

[Pralaad]

Not affect, then why cancel march?

Contradicting as always.

Out of respect ?

Not to aggravate the army?

Prior arrangements?

[Civil War]

I don't think they need to march now....

The job is done and victory is nigh.

Just let the constitutional court and the senate do the rest.

No need for social upheaval...

CAPO and the PTP can no longer terrorize the people... the road is open for the removal of this sad act of a government and its replacement by someone who can put the country back on the tracks, starting with paying ALL the farmers and new car owners.

MARTIAL LAW
PDRC to meet to discuss next move

BANGKOK: -- Core leaders of anti-government protest will meet at 10.30am to discuss about their next move after the military imposed the martial law in the country.

Nation TV reported on Tuesday that People’s Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC) is expected to hold a press briefing about their decision.

Army Commander in Chief Gen Prayuth Chan-ocha has called for pro- and anti-government rallies to halt their movements.

Satit Wongnongtaey, a PDRC leader, announced cancellation of a march in Bangkok to be led by PDRC’s chief Suthep Thaugsuban this morning following the invoking of the martial law.

I sincerely hope you are not correct. In the province where I live the reds and yellows talk to each other, and many are friends. They have peaceful disagreements.

I'm sure that between individuals of different persuasions there are many amicable discussions.

Once 'the madness of the crowd' is fired up amicable discussion gets the iron heel.

[chooka]

He said the martial law invoked by the army was aimed at preventing violence and riot.

Both sides can still protest but must keep it in their areas and not approach or intimidate others.

The reds can't go near the PDRC and the PDRC can no longer hunt down ministers and force them to sign resignations. This martial law buggers Sutheps plans and he is almost out of time as the 27th draws closer.

Haha.

Yet again refusing to note that CAPO?UDD/PTP have been totally neutered.

Suthep no longer has to do anything.... He has already won, he can go home knowing they have got what they wanted.

The government replaced by a new senate appointed interim government, a reform committee set up followed by elections.

I doubt this is a shocker for the PDRC leaders, all this will have been prearranged.

It is the government and the UDD who have so far reacted with shock and surprise.

Suthep is now just going through the motions.

Hope the baht goes down the toilet to make exports more attractive internationally, and since many of us get money from the home country with favorable exchange rates. Double win.

[fab4]

It won't affect the rally at all. Coincidentally "suthep has left the building", in a manner of speaking, for pastures new that nobody knows of. From Richard Barrows twitter feed:

Suthep left rally site at 11:30am to unknown destination - RT @prapasri_nna: 11.30

Edited May 20, 2014 by fab4

[Scamper]

The rallies continue, assemblies continue, but movement is contained. It is a perfectly balanced move on the part of Prayuth. Free expression is preserved but violence disallowed. The most important thing about this is that the Senate, the Constitutional Court, the National Anti-Corruption Commission and all levels of the judiciary and independent agencies can proceed peacefully and without provocation. CAPO has been relieved, so the absence of their particular brand of announcements have earned a vacation. Niwattumrong - according to a statement this morning from his office - was not informed. This is profoundly key, as this move comes after Niwattumron's meeting with the Senate yesterday when he informed them he would not be resigning. The Senate can now proceed peacefully and constitutionally, and that opens up a whole new opportunity for all the parties to truly get together and talk. Likely, the Senate will nominate a prime minister - and contrary of many's believe - it will truly be someone who is acceptable to both Pheu Thai and the Democratic party. This immediately will likely calm the business community and investment as the prospect of a fully functioning administration slowly becomes a reality. Likely, it will be an administration with limited powers, and provide the backdrop for some truly genuine discussion among all the parties regarding reform. A very hopeful period indeed.

We can say it until we are blue in the face but the yellows still dont get it. . . it really is like talking to infants. The police have had their hands tied ever since the General came out and told them in no uncertain terms not to interfere with the protesters.

So we have had 7 months of intimidation, shutting down government building and violence from the PDRC and nothing from the military. The redshirts have been in BKK for less than a week exercising their freedom to demonstrate and martial law is invoked. Make of it what you will. Maybe Sutheps brainwashed on TV may come to their own conclusions but I suspect most people will put 1 and 1 togeather and come up with 2

What are you talking about? Where in my post am I dening that CAPO have been disbanded.

Well I am glad the sliy little piece of excrement can go home now that it is all over as you say. Seems a little pointless spending millions for the army to surround the PDRC and the reds if it is already over. Why are the government still in their positions and still refusing to resign if Suthep has already won. I haven't seen anything on the news about this yet, could you help me out with the link I am having extreme problems finding it.

Thanks mate much appreciated.
