Abhisit blames PM for not dissolving House

Democrat party and opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva on Sunday called on Prime Minister and Defence Minister Samak Sundaravej to loosen his stance by revising his actions and stop thinking that he has done nothing wrong. Mr Abhisit did not believe that many people have been demonstrating for months without causes.

The Democrat leader said he will listen to Senate speaker and mediator Prasopsuk Boondej’s explanation before deciding whether the negotiation between the government and the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) will take place.

If Mr Samak decided to dissolve the House of Representatives on August 31, the situation would improve almost completely, according to Mr Abhisit. He said the clash between the PAD and the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) as well as the declaration of the emergency decree happened because the premier turned down this alternative.
