Ex-foreign minister Noppadol proposes “super reconciliation”

BANGKOK: -- Former foreign minister Noppadol Patthama has proposed his three-point “super reconciliation” plan to ease political conflicts and to restore national reconciliation.

The ex-minister of the Pheu Thai party who was recently acquitted by the Supreme Court’s criminal division for political office holders over the controversial Thai-Cambodian MOU regarding the Khao Phra Viharn ancient temple said Sunday that, in order to ease conflicts, all parties in the conflicts must put an end of hate speeches of all forms in the social media and other media.

Even if the two sides in the conflicts wear different colours of shirts and do not love each other they should respect each other’s rights because he himself has just gone through the false accusations, said Mr Noppadol.

The second point of his “super reconciliation” plan calls for the holding of national forums to allow all sides in the conflicts and other stakeholders to come forward to discuss their problems in order to find the way out which is acceptable to all, said Mr Noppadol.

The country has have fair rules acceptable to all – that is a constitution which is democratic, standard and will bring about stability, said the former prime minister, adding that the essence of the charter should be more important than the drafters of the charter.

He said he would like his three-point reconciliation plan to be considered by parties concerned.

So, stop criticizing opponents, except at "national forums" with, presumably, approved delegates. Add to this a democratic standard constitution (except for the restraints on free speech) and all the problems are solved, right?

Ok, you are possibly the only person in the world that believes it was not a coup, including the people who actually undertook it.

Back on planet earth meanwhile....

Nice to work in such light atmosphere....

But not against Yingluck I think, she was out already.

Else you are right, technically it was a coup. But someone had to do something....

[Thailand]

Technically?

What is a technical coup?

[harada]

Give it another year or so until all opposition has been eliminated and then the REAL reconciliation can start, mai pen rai.

[worgeordie]

It might be better for him if he just keeps his mouth shut,he was lucky he

did not go to prison,now he looks like a candidate for attitude adjustment,

at the nearest army camp.

Well you are way further out there than I first anticipated.

Switch off AIS G4?

[phoenixdoglover]

I read three things (the article sort of fell apart at the end).

1. Stop the political hate speech

2. Forums for opposing parties to hash out their differences

3. Focus on Charter content, rather than who is drafting it

Anybody think these are bad ideas?

[MaiChai]

The nature of politics is you criticise the opposition? Thus it ain't going to work?

At last a voice crying in the wilderness with a solution that makes sense. Where there is a will there is a way. Opps forgot for a second where I was living.

" Political Conflict"? More like a mob turf war to me. No politician is interested in the well being of the country they claim to LOVE. It's all about individual enhancement e.g. power/money etc. Nothing is down for the betterment of the "children of Thailand." Hell the masses are not even taught or encouraged to think.

[AlQaholic]

A three point reconciliation process....And I thought that a foreign minister would be somewhat more informed than that, or maybe he is just playing along with the rest of the actors in the present govt.

First of all there are not two sides in the Thai politics soup, there are three sides, so a three point reconciliation would actually be appropriate for the three sides...

What is that slogan in the news? "Our country Together we become strong"? or something like that?

Can't wait for Prayuth to say that in front of the foreign press at the UN defending the coup. Use comedy and may win over the global audience. Humour them to death

War is what occurs when politics fail!

That's one way of looking at it. Another would be:
