Flashermac Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 THE NATION 24 Dec 2007 Division has emerged in the anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD). Three prominent members express reservations about protests. PAD leaders Pipop Thongchai and Suriyasai Katasila earlier threatened mass demonstrations if People Power won the government benches, granted amnesty to 111 former Thai Rak Thai executives and dismissed corruption charges against Thaksin. "We will first have to see the situation. The PAD shouldn't start holding protests," said Rosana Tositrakul, an alliance member vocal in her past denunciations of Thaksin. "We don't need to protest all the time. It might be good that Thaksin returns so he can appear in court," said Rosana. People Power leader Samak Sundaravej insists Thaksin will return home and former Thai Rak Thai executives will have their electoral bans lifted. Here we go again.

samak Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 interesting points here: She said if the banned Thai Rak Thai executives received amnesty and the Thaksin corruption cases were swept under the carpet, political "unrest" was a real possibility. "It could spark violence. The People Power regime itself isn't much of a problem compared with the possibility of it clearing the 111 executives and whitewashing Thaksin. I will be sad if People Power forms the next government. It suggests Thailand isn't ready to become a democracy," she insisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
