webfact Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Junta insists no change to road map By The Nation File photo: Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan BANGKOK: -- The junta’s so-called “road map to democracy” will not be altered to ensure election in near future and restoration of democracy, said Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan on Monday. “The road map won’t be changed for Thailand to be democratically stable in future. We are also working on reconciliation with all sectors so the country will be fractured no more,” Prawit said. The road map, announced by the junta shortly after the 2014 coup, has already seen some alternations following circumstance, from scrapping of the first charter draft to the coming Royal Funeral of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej expected to be held later this year.

As mentioned before this guy is scarier than Prayuth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only remain stable without the interference of unelected or appointed bureaucracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually welcomed when a politician speaks honestly - but not in this instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldroj Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 "...junta insists no change to road map..." No change needed (it's only their touted metaphoric-concept after all, and according to them, its destination is a democratic Thailand). However, to follow this roadmap and reach the destination, is seems the country will still need to traverse a surprisingly-endless array of obstacles and pitfalls that seem to appear without warning, and leave the whole process of reform and "reconciliation" dangling precariously on the point of tumbling into an abyss !!!
