Two Years Since Thai Coup No Democracy In Sight – OpEd

It has been two years since Thailand’s junta toppled the democratically elected government of Yingluck Shinawatra on May 22, 2014. Headed by general-turned-prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the military government swiftly implemented draconian measures to control society, rein in voices critical of the government and monarchy, and fight religious insurgents. However, the increasingly despotic policies have nurtured discontent with the junta. Defying restrictions on the freedom of assembly, hundreds of anti-coup protestors demonstrated in Bangkok to mark the two-year anniversary of the coup. While calls for an end to military rule are mounting, whether and when democracy will be restored remains uncertain.
Chances for democracy to return look slim indeed. Under the aegis of Prayuth Chan-ocha, the junta – also referred to as the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) – has thus far failed to deliver on the prime minister’s pledge to gradually return to democracy in three steps, namely “national reconciliation, comprehensive reforms and reinvigoration of democratic institutions.” A meaningful process for restoring civilian rule has yet to materialize as the junta has instead constantly published ever-new timelines. The issue is exacerbated by ongoing quarrels over Thailand’s draft constitution. On March 29 this year, the government published a new constitutional draft that will be put to a referendum on August 7. The draft proposes significant institutional reform by establishing a senate appointed by the military. That way, the senate may eclipse the independent law and policy-making authority of an elected parliament.
