Rainsy Calls PM a Dictator Again

[geovalin]

Using the presidential election result in the United States as an example, Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) president Sam Rainsy has again claimed the Cambodian government is a dictatorship ruled by a leader who refuses to quit after many terms in office, contrary to democratic principles. Shortly after Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the US, many countries’ leaders, including Cambodia, sent congratulatory messages and said they hoped diplomatic relations with the US would improve in the future.
 

In an interview with Radio Free Asia on Wednesday night, Mr. Rainsy – who previously said Mr. Trump had the attitude of a dictator but later congratulated him on his victory in a Facebook post – claimed that the US election results showed true democracy and real change. He added that the current Cambodian leader, referring to Prime Minister Hun Sen, should follow the example of the US.
 

“No one would like to allow any dignitary or president to hold power over two terms,” he said. “So, in Cambodia, if he [Mr. Hun Sen] claims to respect democracy in the United States, he should take the term sample which is no more than two terms, unlike in Cambodia, the prime minister who has held six to seven terms is called a dictator.”
