Appointed senators upset at Yingluck Mongolia speech | Bangkok Post: news: "Ms Yingluck told a democracy conference in Mongolia on Monday that anti-democratic regime elements still exist in Thailand.
She said the 2006 coup had derailed democracy in Thailand and overthrown the government of her brother Thaksin _ who was the elected prime minister at the time.
Ms Yingluck also criticised independent organisations set up by the military-backed 2007 constitution. She said the organisations abused their authority against the will of the people.
The military-sponsored constitution, drafted after the 2006 coup, contains mechanisms which restrict public rights and freedoms, she said.
The senators yesterday said her speech was inappropriate and has political implications given that the government is pushing for charter amendments and amnesty bills, which have been viewed by some as an attempt to exonerate Thaksin and red-shirt leaders."
