Legal expert from Germany invited to join seminar on Thailand's national reform

BANGKOK, 27 May 2015 (NNT)-A German legal expert has been invited to give a speech on political transition in Germany, in a seminar held by the Thai government.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is hosting a seminar on Thailand’s political transition and national reform in cooperation with the National Reform Council (NRC) and King Prajadhipok’s Institute.

Mr. Ulrich Karpen, a legal expert from the University of Hamburg, Germany, has been invited to talk about the political transition to democracy in Germany, which has been made a case study of the past.

The objective of the event is to give those attending the seminar an insight into how another nation went through the transition period and what the attendees could learn from the German experience.

It is also Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s wish to address this political issue among the stakeholders, which include the Constitution Drafting Committee, the NRC, the National Legislative Assembly, the Thai public and the media.

The seminar will be videotaped and broadcast to the public in the near future.

It's clearly escaped the notice of Thailand that it needed World War II and the violent removal of just about every influential German political figure prior to that to "transition" Germany to a democracy..........................

Rest assured a lot will be censored before this goes to the public.

If only Adolf was alive he would give the Junta 10 out of 10 or 1 out of 10 which is still a pass in the Thai education system

Hopefully the legal expert doesn't forget about the problems with millions of refugees from the East after WWII and the East Germany reintegration scam.

legal expert has been invited

Maybe he has been "invited". Didn't they float this idea some time ago?

Why not invite some Iraqis? They are a much newer democ......ooops.

Franz Josef Strauss wasn't that bad in scandals...

This legal expert will probably enlighten Thailand about the idea of giving away national sovereignty to a group of financial experts in EU and the importance of symbolic political ceremonies in crisis times.

Will they need to, given that the speech will most likely be either in English or German and thus incomprehensible to the majority of the population? Even with subtitles, how many folk do you imagine would be all that interested after a day at the factory or sweating their nuts off on a building site?

My posting had the intention to give informartion of facts.

No one of the posters after open a discussion for this answered.

They stay in their delusion of old time and forget what is what now.

I hope this people will not be "native" English teachers for our chidren.

if the good man says one wrong word of critizism he will have to go for an attutude adjustment..

Would lpve to be present.

Of all the Nations in the World think why you would ask Germany to come and give a talk about Political transition . Two of their "Transitions" have been after 2 World Wars that they started

Monarchy, Democracy about 15 parties The Nazis and Communists being 2 of them. Military regime, Marshall law , imposed democracy

[Muirton]

Will he be invited for "attitude adjustment" if he suggests "1 Thai, 1 vote."

This chart clearly shows the exploitation of European expats in Thailand.

Remember, pensions are not a present from a nanny state but deferred compensations for labour.

If I would have worked for a German company 2 years ago, and this company would have waited to pay men years later, I could demand compensation for the loss due to currency exchange rates now. This is German Civil Law.

What's so whistled about this?

Of course I know it's unrealistic politics.

But I regard politics as a process of negotiation, and it's good to have a clear stand when you negotiate.

Back to topics:

This will not happen because of the 5 pct threshold. And even Farangs tthat would agree with me would not vote for me. They would rather vote against their own interests and get Merkelized once again. That's why I consider the 5 pct threshold undemocratic.

you can't forget what you didn't know in the first place...

[micmichd]

The legal expert should tell what Germany would do in case of panic.
