Democrats wait for others to help them
Play
The anti-government group, Pitak Siam, will stage a rally on November 24 to call for the overthrow of the democratically elected government.
The group obviously violates the Constitution’s Article 68 which says: “No person shall exercise the rights and liberties prescribed in the Constitution to overthrow the democratic regime of government.”
Being the oldest and most prestigious political party in the country, it is disgraceful that the Democrats, especially their leader, did not condemn the Pitak Siam group, or at least try to quell its actions. The Democrats are supposed to side with the government for the sake of national security and the sacredness of the Constitution. Instead, they stroke their chins and stay quiet, waiting intently for windfalls the rally might bring.
What happens to the motto “We believe in the parliamentary system”? Or do they believe it only when they are in government?
