The Democrat Party has rejected claims by red-shirt leaders that local MPs supported the burning of a red-shirt pavilion in Songkhla.
Democrat Party spokesman Chavanond Intarakomalyasut said Democrats were not involved with the incident and asked red shirts to stop provocative activity in southern provinces.
“Our party does not use fire to solve problems. The red shirts have to know that they aren’t the only ones who can use violence. Locals who disagree with them can also fight for their rights,” Chavanond said. “So we ask the red shirts stop any activity that causes disharmony.”
