Perdana
Menteri Thailand Yingluck Shinawatra telah menolak panggilan penunjuk perasaan ‘untuk
tidak dilantik “Majlis rakyat” untuk memilih pemimpin baru untuk negara. Perdana
Menteri berkata “majlis rakyat” adalah sebuah badan yang tidak dipilih “orang
baik” yang hampir akan menggantung sistem demokrasi di negara ini.
“Kami
tidak tahu bagaimana untuk menjadikannya satu kenyataan. Sekarang kita tidak
melihat apa-apa cara untuk menyelesaikan masalah di bawah perlembagaan,”
katanya dalam 12 minit sidang akhbar televisyen.
Thailand’s
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has rejected protesters’ calls for an
unelected "people's council" to pick a new leader for the country.
The PM said a “people’s council” is an unelected body of “good people” that
would virtually suspend the country’s democratic system.
“We
don't know how to make it happen. Right now we don't see any way to resolve the
problem under the constitution,” she said in a 12-minute televised news
conference.

Walau
bagaimanapun, Perdana Menteri berkata kerajaan bersedia untuk “membuka setiap
pintu” untuk rundingan. Yang datang selepas pemimpin bantahan, Suthep
Thaugsuban, menyatakan beliau tidak akan berpuas hati dengan peletakan jawatan
Yingluck atau pilihan raya baru.
“Jika
ada apa-apa cara saya boleh mengembalikan keamanan Saya bersedia untuk
melakukannya. Kerajaan tidak perlu berpegang kepada kuasa, kami hanya mahukan
keamanan,” kata Shinawatra. Beliau juga memberitahu persidangan berita bahawa
polis tidak akan menggunakan kekerasan terhadap penunjuk perasaan, yang
nampaknya terbukti palsu kemudian.
Diambil
secara keseluruhan, penyata penunjuk perasaan ‘dan kata-kata perdana menteri
muncul untuk menunjukkan bahawa rundingan tidak akan berlaku bila-bila masa
tidak lama lagi. Penunjuk perasaan yang kebanyakannya golongan pertengahan
Bangkok penyokong pembangkang Parti Demokrat, mendesak peletakan jawatan
Perdana Menteri, dengan mendakwa beliau adalah seorang proksi untuk abangnya:
bekas Perdana Menteri Thaksin Shinawatra. Beliau yang telah digulingkan dalam
rampasan kuasa tentera2006, dituduh rasuah yang berleluasa dan penyalahgunaan
kuasa.
However,
the premier said the government was willing to “open every door” for
negotiation. That came after protest leader, Suthep Thaugsuban, indicated he
wouldn’t be satisfied with Yingluck's resignation or new elections.
"If
there is any way I can restore peace I am willing to do it. The government does
not have to hold on to power, we only want peace," Shinawatra said. She
also told the news conference that police would not use force against the
protesters, which apparently proved false later.
Taken
as a whole, the demonstrators’ statements and the premier’s words appear to
indicate that negotiations aren’t going to take place any time soon. The
protesters, mostly middle-class Bangkok supporters of the opposition Democrat
Party, are demanding the prime minister’s resignation, claiming she is a proxy
for her brother: former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He was deposed in a
2006 military coup, accused of widespread corruption and abuse of power.
