The opposition of Thailand requires the dissolution of the government, and the king set the date of the election to the new parliament


The leader of the Thai opposition Sutep Taugsuban announced the initiation of the procedure for removing the government of the Thai government from the authorities of the Prime Minister Yinglak Chinavat, who on the eve ofreporting the country's parliament and the appointment of early elections. And the king of Thailand Pumipon Adyladet approved the dissolution of the National Assembly of the state and set a date for new elections.

The opposition leader Taugsuban accuses the Thai government of violating the country's Constitution while trying to return to the state the power of the former exiled prime minister of Taxin Chinavat and requires his dissolution. It is also supposed to resign the current prime minister, writes The Bangkok Post .

It is noteworthy that the opposition gave a day to dissolve the now Provisional Government and the resignation of the Prime Minister, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the Third National TV channel of Thailand. At the same time, it remains incomprehensible as such a “removal” will be implemented in practice. Currently, Chinavat continues to act as the head of government.

Meanwhile, the king of Thailand signed a decree in which he approved the dissolution of the country's parliament, reports The Bangkok Post . According to the Constitution of the state, the elections to the National Assembly should be held no earlier than 45 days after the signing of the mentioned document. The monarch has already approved the date of voting - it is scheduled for February 2, 2014.

Note that the unrest of the opposition in Thailand has not stopped for more than two weeks. The reason was rumors about the bill of the authorities, which the former Prime Minister Chinavat, the brother of the winning elections in 2011, Yinlak Chinavat, who was exile in Dubai, could come under an amnesty. According to the opposition, the bill looks like a clear attempt to return to the political scene of Chinavat, who fled from the country in 2008 and was subsequently sentenced in absentia to two years in prison on corruption accusations.

In mid -November, thousands of protesters began to take to the streets of Bangkok with the requirements of stopping the work of the illegitimate, in their opinion, government. They also often made successful attemptsto seize the buildings of state institutions, explaining this by the fact that the government is still not supported by the people, and therefore its work is meaningless.

At first, thousands of shares retained a peaceful character. Every day, the protesters were increasingly difficult to avoid clashes with law enforcement agencies. Oppositionists were abandoned by law enforcement officers, the number of victims in the clashes was calculated by dozens, if not hundreds.
