UDD calls for return of 97 charter
6 Sep 2015 at 16:25
The United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship has called for the discarded 1997 constitution to be reinstated after the draft charter was rejected by the National Reform Council on Sunday.
The UDD statement was written on the Facebook page of chairman Jatuporn Prompan.
The statement said the procedures for the drafting of the new charter were not acceptable in the first place.
The process had been carried out as dictated by the junta regardless of the people's sovereignty, and there had been no guarantees that the new charter would be democratic or linked to the people.
The UDD statement called for all concerned to show responsibility for the failure.
"Since the charter writing procedure lacked legimacy, we would like to propose that the 1997 constitution of Thailand, which had been abolished, be re-promulgated immediately so that the country can hold elections in a democratic system, and a new committee set up to draft a new constitution so that the country's reforms can proceed," the UDD statement said.
"The UDD will continue to peacefully struggle for democracy. We believe in the people."
