RECONCILIATION TALK

Pheu Thai-Gov't fence-mending talks on track



The five-point Pheu Thai plan for reconciliation with the government has remained on table, party deputy leader Plodprasop Suraswadi said on Tuesday, dismissing speculation about the plan aborted.

"Pheu Thai will not be discouraged nor call off the reconciliation just because someone in the government made offensive remarks," he said.

The speculation about the collapse of fence-mending talks circulated after Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban voiced scepticism about the opposition's sincerity by citing continuing attempts to undermine the monarchy.

This prompted a fiery denial from Pheu Thai leader Yongyuth Wichaidit.

Plodprasop said he was surprised by the Suthep-Yongyuth spat since the two had family ties and came from the same hometown, Surat Thani.

He insisted, however, that Yongyuth merely reacted to Suthep's remarks in his personal capacity, which did not reflect on the party's stand.

"The reconciliation plan has been endorsed by the Phue Thai executive board," he said, adding his main opposition party is in the process of naming its representatives for fence-mending talks.
