PDRC to follow up on reforms effort
Play
The People's Democratic Reform Committee has set up a "Great Mass of People's Foundation" to follow up on the national reform efforts of the military-led regime, PDRC spokesman Akanat Promphan said yesterday.
He said veteran politician Suthep Thaugsuban, the PDRC secretary-general who is now a Buddhist monk, will serve as the foundation’s president, though this post will be held by Sathit Wongnongtaey, another PDRC leader, while Suthep is a monk.
Akanat said the foundation would push for the reforms that the PDRC was campaigning for in its Bangkok street protests last year. “PDRC leaders will work via the foundation until the goals are achieved before we consider our political future,” he said.
