Red Shirts welcome ruling party resolution
BANGKOK, May 6 (TNA) – Key Red Shirt leaders on Thursday expressed satisfaction with the ruling Democrat Party's resolution supporting Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's road map for reconciliation which they described as being a step closer to negotiation, but said their final decision is pending announcement of a specific date for House dissolution and the result of Friday's meeting of coalition partners.
Natthawut Saikua, key leader of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), said the Democrat resolution is considered a good news which will be the second step leading to further talks.
He said the UDD leaders will meet again to discuss their positions and that their conclusion may not be reached today.
Mr Natthawut however asserted the Red Shirts are still waiting for the fixed date of the House dissolution and reactions from the coalition partners who will meet on Friday.
The Democrats on Thursday agreed on majority vote to support the premier’s five-point reconciliation plan after the Red Shirt leaders announced they accepted the road map, but vowed to stay on at Ratchaprasong rally site until Mr Abhisit states clearly when he will dissolve the House.
As the new election is set for November 14, the premier’s close aide Sirichok Sopha earlier said the House can be dissolved between September 15 and 30, but it depends on the cooperation of the Red Shirts.
Thai law requires a dissolution of Parliament 45-60 days in advance of the new election is to be held.
Mr Abhisit on Friday said “Yes” when asked by reporters over the timeframe of House dissolution revealed by Mr Sirichok, saying everybody can calculate the date.
Mr Natthawut added the UDD wants to warn the Democrat spokesman team and the spokesman for the Centre for the Resolution of Emergency Situation (CRES) not to say anything which threatens the protesters because it will destroy the atmosphere of negotiation process.
“The prime minister must say it clearly what he wants, said Mr Natthawut, “He proposed the reconciliation process while his party’s spokesman and the CRES spokesman still threatened to suppress or kill the people, the action which is not help building good atmosphere.”
Mr Natthawut came following the remarks of CRES spokesman Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd who said the premier’s road map is a political mean to solve the crisis, but security operation to retake the protest site will not stop, awaiting for the appropriate time. (TNA)
