The EU Urges Thailand to have Democratic Elections in 2018


Pirkka Tapiola, EU Ambassador to Thailand has put pressure on the regime to stay on schedule with the already delayed elections to take place in November later this year. He released a statement encouraging “all stakeholders to respect the previously announced road map” of the elections and that the EU is ready to assist, if Thailand needs.

The statement was issued a day before the National Legislative Assembly will consider whether to pass the proposal of the panel vetting an organic bill on MP’s for delaying the enforcement of the bill, which in turn has delayed the elections to 2019. 

The Foreign Minister of Thailand, stated that the amendment of the bill is not up to the executive sector that includes Prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha but is dependent on the legislative sector.

A Thailand divorce contract is an agreement entered into by divorcing couples who can agree on important issues such as assets, child support and alimony.   \

The EU ambassador responded to the statement saying that the EU is aware of the differences however, “both are essential … in a democracy”. He concludes that it is even more imperative that Thailand returns to democratic elections as soon as possible.
