Noppadon calls for House dissolution, election as conditions for talk


The Nation

Noppadon Pattama (pictured), a legal advisor of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, said Sunday that a political reconciliation could be reached only if all legal cases against Thaksin were undone and justice was returned to him and everything would reversed back to the time before the 2006 coup.

Noppadon said a talk between Thaksin's side and the government could be held only on three conditions.

"First, the 1997 charter or a draft with similar content must be enacted. Second, the House of Representatives must be dissolved. Third, a new election must be held and all sides and all colours must ratify a pact that they will accept the election results and will not make any move outside Parliament to undermine the country administration or disrupt the administration or else the same old circle will return," Noppadon said.

However, Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban Sunday dismissed conditions raised by a legal advisor of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra for holding a reconciliation talk.

Suthep said the conditions raised by Noppadon were too extreme to be accepted.

Noppadon demanded that the legal cases against Thaksin would have to be dismissed and the 1997 charter would have to reenacted for holding a new election.
