Thailand – Democracy Challenged Through External Powers Promoted Destabilization

December 4, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The democratically elected government led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra experiencing foreign powers instigated political uprising.

The opposition facing corruption charges lost 2011 national election following violent crackdown that resulted in many civilian casualties with then ruling authority maintaining unpopular policies to benefit self and selective groups in the political establishment.

Thailand politics premised on constitutional monarchy beneath military wing maneuvered to suit foreign sources agenda at national detriment.

The military coup and royal engagement in governance along with foreign interceptions has denied the people in Thailand political stability. 

When global forces use political system as pawn aimed at destabilization of country and region, the citizens’ discernment is critical to avert such outcome.

The political factions aiding foreign intrusion commit treason in order to remain in power witnessed in Thailand opposition role fomenting anti-government protests and civic buildings occupation declared victory disregarding economic liability from the inappropriate  conduct. 

The problem is the members behind the ongoing political crises in Thailand seeking to topple government for proposals to alleviate poverty and improve economic conditions among vast majority care less about the nation considering the performance during their term and preference to stir tensions rather than peaceful resolution with incumbent administration proves the lack of commitment and ingenuity in national service.

Thailand Premier Yingluck Shinawatra accused of allowing sibling, the self-exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to advise on political affairs while the accusers are carrying out foreign elements instructions to disrupt government activities is the irony with the organizers of anti-government rally.

The current trend among conglomerate opposed to democracy, peace and national interests is to cause political turmoil against governments attempting to address economic and social issues confronting the nation.

Thailand until recently under predecessor Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva ignored the mainstream plight due to preoccupation with holding the highest office and likewise the supporters concerned about respective power struggle within party and various posts facilitated dysfunctionality leading to continuous mass demonstration in 2010 and 2011.

Moreover having conceded to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra post election 2011, the opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva unsuccessful action to delegitimize incumbent in the no confidence vote past week once again confirms personal ambitions prioritized over national needs.

Thailand sharing economic woes with rest of the world deserves political viability and not obstructions misleading people towards chaos and confusion.

Besides. the negative approach against government demanding Premier Yingluck Shinawatra resignation despite comfortable win in the latest no confidence motion is yet another anti-democratic and unconstitutional practice orchestrated from outside.

The desperate entities constantly striving for geopolitical dominance are applying any tactics to deprive Thailand from political, economic and social progress.

In fact the subversion reflective in misusing people power in Thailand is to discredit genuine peace movements against proxy representation elsewhere.

Thailand electorate exercising diligence in rejecting local political complicity with anti-republic foreign influence is important in preserving national sovereignty.

Additionally, Thailand adopting true democratic setting free of regal and army imposition of rules would guarantee meaningful democracy.

The ex-Premier Thaksin Shinawatra alleged assistance providing guidance on national matter to present leadership and other contentions related to government consideration for amnesty to the former leader later withdrawn in recognition of dissent in political circle,

Notwithstanding current government measures on rice subsidy offering farmers fixed prices exceeding market rates on the crops do not justify riots and upheaval.

Any allegations on previous head of state Thaksin Shinawatra accompanied with opportunity to prove innocence in the national court of law would conform to democratic values and constitutional requirement on civil rights.

Instead politicizing these events to score mileage reveals inherent flaws in the strategy to return to power.

The status quo extension serves none and unnecessarily exacerbates population suffering wasting taxpayer resources in political hostility.

Since Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra won Parliament approval to lead the country in the latest voting process, opposition efforts to thwart peace hurt the nation at large with saboteurs eventually paying political price.

Thailand citizens are urged to show solidarity in preventing foreign backed egregious decisions contributing to political unrest in the state.

Wishing Thailand steady and stable governance dedicated to economic growth, social development and fair political representation leaving none behind in prosperity.

Peace to Thailand

Peace to all! 

Thank you.
