Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha pointed out that reconciliation should come from a true democracy, which gives equal rights to every member of society regardless of their ethnicity and religion.
“Democracy does not just involve elections, and it certainly does not mean power for a particular party. Democracy must provide equality and allow every member of society to participate,” he said during his weekly TV programme Friday night.
Prayut added that a true democracy would have laws and regulations that are trustworthy and fair, so every member is willing to accept and abide by the laws.
We need long-lasting reconciliation and must avoid linking it to legal procedures, as these are two different things, he said.
