Battle of the posters
The Democrats unveiled a poster yesterday in a bid to prove false claims made on People Power Party's posters.
Published on December 20, 2007
The PPP poster says: "Wrong votes increase household debt. Right votes increase money in your pocket. People Power is good at creating income."
The Democrat poster says: "The wrong party vote adds salt to people's wounds. Credit card debts were overwhelming during the Thai Rak Thai government. Vote Democrat, solve the nation's crisis."
Democrat deputy secretary-general Korn Chatikavanij held a press conference yesterday on the campaign. He said PPP's posters distorted the facts by trying to imply that not voting for the PPP would make household debt increase.
Under the TRT government, household debt increased by more than 40 per cent during 2001-2005. Credit card debt increased by 430 per cent, from 2001-2006, he said.
