Reconciliation efforts results will come clear after poll : Abhisit

Democrat Party chief Abhisit Vejjajiva said Wednesday the country will not know if the junta’s attempts to bring about reconciliation have been successful until after the next election.
“We can have reconciliation proposals, we can sign contracts, and hold press conferences, but if everything gets chaotic again after the election, then it’s meaningless,” he said on Wednesday in a FacebookLive interview with Nation Multimedia Group digital journalist Suthichai Yoon.
“Today, some might say that there’s nothing concrete about the reconciliation. But if it turns out that the country is peaceful after the election, then isn’t that the finish line? So we have to see after the election,” Abhisit said.
However, he said reconciliation eventually lay in the hands of the people, and not only politicians.
“Don’t worry about us. Strengthen the people and they will be able to control us,” he said.
