Red Shirts Rally
The red shirted United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship on Sunday issued an official declaration from the main stage at Phan Fa bridge insisting that the government disband the House of Representatives within 24 hours or expect giant street demonstrations.
The statement, read by UDD leader Veera Musikhapong, said that from the time when the Sept 19, 2006 overthrow toppled the government of Thaksin Shinawatra, the nation had been nothing less than a dictatorship.
“We’re asking the government to relinquish power and return it to the people,” he demanded.
Mr Veera warned that the group would extend their rallies across Bangkok in upcoming days if their demands are ignored.
He said the current government was in fact despotism under another name and the red-shirts do not judge it could be trusted to act in the people’s best interests.
Natthawut Saikua, a UDD spokesman, said that the red-shirts would not bargain with Korbsak Sabhavasu, the prime minister’s secretary-general, but would be pleased to do so with Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban or Newin Chidchob, the de factor chief of the Bhumjaithai Party.
