Yingluck Says Thai Protests Won't Prompt Repeat of Military Coup
[BUSINESSWEEK] Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said protests that forced her to call a snap election earlier this week won't lead to a military coup like the one that ousted her brother, Thaksin Shinawatra, in 2006."I don't think the military would do that again," Yingluck said at a briefing in Bangkok yesterday. "Because the past experience doesn't give any answer." The demonstrators accuse parties linked to Thaksin of vote-buying and Yingluck's administration of corruption and economic mismanagement. They have called for an appointed committee of "good people" to implement political reforms before handing power to a new government. Posted by: Fred 2013-12-12 |
