"Thailändska våren" kämpar mot Shinawatras diktatur

[Tallviking]

Nu startas en rörelse i Thailand mot Thaksins diktatur som dom vill likna vid "den arabiska våren"

 

Dom vill kämpa emot Thaksin och få bl.a alla de ansvariga för bränning av byggnader 2010 etc etc inför rätta

 

Dom vill att folk skall träda fram och säga sin åsikt, protestera mot allt som är fel med dagens regering, inte ge amnesti till skyldiga och kämpa för riktig demokrati som i utvecklade länder i väst. Inte den "demokratur" som Thailand har idag med de röda vid makten

 

 

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Group fights 'dictatorship' linked to Thaksin

Somroutai Sapsomboon

Bangkok: -- The anti-Thaksin cyber-group whose followers are known by the Guy Fawkes mask has urged people who oppose the former prime minister and the Yingluck Shinawatra government to change their Facebook and Twitter avatars to the white Fawkes mask.

While it's unknown who the leader of the group is, one aspect behind the move relates to safety and anonymity of opponents of the government. Now, after three days of trying, a self-proclaimed "initiator" of the move on Facebook agreed to answer questions on the Internet from The Nation on the condition of anonymity. Excerpts:

How did it begin and how do you think it will develop?

We want to cajole people to be aware and create a Thai version of the "Arab Spring" and educate people who do not know about the mask as to the meaning of the mask and why it is being used to oppose parliamentary dictatorship and corruption. It's a universal symbol known all over the world.

The world ought to be aware of what is happening in Thailand, in particular what the prime minister said in Mongolia, which was only a little true. Constitutional amendments [proposed by the government] are just a change for the interest of politicians, nothing to do with people's well-being. Meanwhile, the push for an amnesty law, and the red shirts' pressure on the Constitutional Court, are deemed wrong.

We want to declare that we ought not be afraid of the government, and that it is the government that ought to be afraid of the people. We plan to work with Pol General Vasit Dejkunjorn, who initiated the Thai Spring group.

Have you discussed how your group will cooperate with the Thai Spring group?

We have had preliminary talks and are waiting for the Thai Spring group to consider this. Whatever our future activity, safety comes first as we emerge from cyberspace and into the real world. We're trying to check the number of people and awaiting a date in real life to demonstrate people's rights and our refusal to accept parliamentary dictatorship that works for the benefit of corrupt politicians above the interest of the nation and the people.

Why choose the mask as the symbol?

Because the mask is an ideology unlike people behind the mask who may hesitate or change [their thinking]. But the ideology of righteousness has never changed.

Guy Fawkes is a symbol of opposition to parliamentary dictatorship, who manipulate the media and shut the ears and eyes of the people. Our group thinks that Thai politics is in a most sham state and it's just about electoral voice and benefits politicians and big businesses.

What we can't accept is the burning of cities in 2010. Many have been greatly affected by this, be it their property or lives.

As long as the culprits are still at large and amnesty bill is being pushed and taxpayers' money being paid to "heal" red shirts, we won't accept it and a civil-war-like violent retaliation will be difficult to avoid.

If we can make people realise their rights, they might come out to use their right of expression. They might come out and gather for a few hours against any topic they disagree with, just like in developed countries like Germany. That would be a beginning of democracy, as it is supposed to be, not like what we face nowadays.

Thai Spring to target Thaksin online

 

Undrar hur lång tid det tar innan regeringen använder censur-vapnet och blockar den web-sidan ?

Skall vi gissa på att dom hänvisar till LM-lagarna och kallar det "hot mot kungafamiljen" ?

Lite intressant läsning om hur demokratiskt PT är.

Nästan 80 % vet inte vem som är PT ledare medan 90 % känner till ledaren för Demokraterna.

Det beror väl på att PT inte är ett demokratiskt parti utan det ägs av fam thaksin. Dom tillsätter ledare helt utan en demokratisk process.

 

As many as 78.5 per cent of poll respondents said they did not know who the Pheu Thai leader is - or they wrongly identified the person as Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin Shinawatra or Yongyuth Wichaidit, according to results of the survey by Assumption University's Abac Poll released yesterday.

Yingluck holds no executive post in the party, like ex-premier Thaksin, although he is believed to pull the strings behind the

ruling party. Yongyuth is the previous party leader.

The current Pheu Thai leader is Charupong Ruangsuwan, who also serves as the interior minister.

A total of 21.5 per cent of the respondents correctly named Charupong as the party leader.

Meanwhile, about 91 per cent of those surveyed correctly identified Abhisit Vejjajiva as leader of the opposition Democrat Party. Only 9.2 per cent wrongly named former leader Chuan Leekpai, former Bangkok governor Apirak Kosayodhin, and others.

The survey was conducted on 1,989 people in 17 provinces in all four regions between Monday and Friday.

After more than 600 days in office Thailand’s first female Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra still has the support of the majority of the electorate according to a new Abac Poll by Assumption University.

The survey, conducted in 17 provinces, polled 2,168 people aged 18 and above on a number of topics and found that 52.8 per cent of respondents still supported Ms Yingluck, with 26.8 per cent saying they were apathetic toward her and 20.4 per cent saying they opposed her.

However, while theoretically aligned with the poor, working / rural class Thai with much of its support coming from the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD), aka the red-shirts, the Abac poll found that 54.7 per cent of respondents felt the government’s policies favoured the wealthy elite more than the “average” Thai.

Studien visar just det vi är många som argumenterat för, gänget vid makten ser till att de som redan har det gott ställt får det än bättre. Det är ju en helt vilsen politik och det var bra att du tog fram ytterligare en undersökning som stödjer våra argument.

Hoppas den ändras så att de som verkligen behöver stödet, äntligen kan få det.

[Muimatt]

Jag såg fyra pickups fulla med folk iklädda Guy Fawkes masker körandes på Samuis ringväg ikväll.

Bangkok: -- Survey results released on the eve of US President Barack Obama's arrival reveal that Thais have more faith in the American leader than in Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra or her predecessor.

If they could choose between Obama, Yingluck and Abhisit, about 43 per cent of survey respondents said they had faith in Obama as the best leader, while about one-third picked Yingluck and 24 per cent threw their support behind Abhisit, said the director of Assumption University's Abac Poll, Noppadon Kannika. The survey questioned 2,115 respondents aged 18 and over in seven provinces between Monday and Friday, he said.

On Obama's role in promoting democracy in Thailand, 85.4 per cent of respondents said they wanted him to support preserving the Constitutional monarchy. About 70 per cent wanted him to address the crisis of faith in Thai politicians, and over 65 per cent said they wanted Obama to help improve Thai politicians' morality. About the same number of people wanted the president to help solve the problem of vote-buying, while over half of respondents said they wanted the rights and duties of Thai citizens be seen as important to the Thai government.

Asked to identify problems they would like Obama to help solve, over 85 per cent of respondents cited drugs and transnational crime, according to the poll.
