Abhisit calls on government to accept responsibility
Opposition Democrat party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Monday called for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Pheu Thai Party to take responsibility for the ongoing protests.
He said the high number of people gathering at Rajdamnoen is a significant expression of Thai society who want to see a change.
“It’s a pity that we do not see how the PM and the government will respond to the call. They just repeatedly say ‘please sit and talk’,” Abhisit said.
He added the march across Bangkok by the antigovernment protesters won’t affect the censure debate scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The opposition party, who has prepared more than 20 MPs for the debate, is ready to expose the government’s corruption scandals, he said.
The opposition has submitted noconfidence motion against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan.
