Secret Plan To Takeover Thailand Finally Revealed
TRT goes on offensive over 'Finland Plan'
The Bangkok Post
The Thai Rak Thai party has threatened to sue people who make false accusations involving the so-called Finland Plan.
Thai Rak Thai executive member Surapong Suebwonglee said yesterday he had never heard of any such plan in the whole time he had been in the party.
Outgoing senator Sophon Supapong mentioned the "Finland Plan", which he said was hatched by a small group aiming to take control of Thailand, at the Thailand Weekly forum held at Lumpini park on Saturday.
He claimed that a group of businessmen had persuaded former activists from the October 1973 student uprising to set up a political party and draw up a strategy to take control of Thailand through populist policies.
Media tycoon Sondhi Limthongkul, also a leader of the anti-Thaksin People's Alliance for Democracy, backed Mr Sophon's remarks, saying the government's abuse of the state media was part of the Finland Plan. He was also speaking at the Thailand Weekly forum, which he hosted.
Mr Surapong said the party would sue anyone who made false accusations about any so-called Finland Plan.
Prommin Lertsuridej, the caretaker prime minister's secretary-general and Thai Rak Thai deputy secretary-general, denied the party had mapped out such a plan. He asked the media to seek evidence from people making the claims.
"Thai Rak Thai was set up after the economic crisis," he said.
"The media has closely followed the party's activities ever since.
"Our party had to introduce policies which were different from other parties.
"Our policies focussed on solving people's debts and helping them generate income.
"We asked scholars across the country for their views, which we gathered before coming up with the policies," he said.
Democrat deputy secretary-general Thavorn Saenniem said the Finland Plan, if it really existed, would cause great damage to the country.
He urged the public to keep a close watch on Thai Rak Thai's policies as they looked similar to those mentioned in the Finland Plan.
ONE-PARTY PLAN
TRT: No such thing as 'Finland declaration'
Ruling party says rumours of secret party meeting in 1999 'groundless'
The ruling party yesterday threatened to take legal action against people spreading what it described as "groundless allegations" about the so-called Finland Declaration.
"The Thai Rak Thai Party will definitely sue people who have spread rumours about the matter. The allegations are groundless and untrue," government spokesman Surapong Suebwonglee said, in his capacity as a Thai Rak Thai executive member.
Surapong said he had never heard about the so-called Finland Declaration and did not think it existed.
Some newspaper columnists wrote last week that a political party held a gathering in 1999 of senior figures in Finland, where they agreed on strategies to turn Thailand into a country dominated by one party, with a political system modelled on Western republics and democracies, with minimal involvement by royalty.
Some speakers at Saturday's broadcast from Lumpini Park of the Muang Thai Rai Sapda programme also mentioned what they called "evil plans" behind the so-called Finland Declaration.
Prommin Lertsuridej, deputy secretary-general of the Thai Rak Thai, insisted yesterday there was no such thing as the Finland Declaration as far as the ruling party was concerned.
He called on those who made the allegations to produce evidence "otherwise our society would be turned into one obsessed with ignorance and groundless accusations".
Prommin said the secret behind Thai Rak Thai's success was its platforms were distinctively different from those of other political parties.
