PM vows to uphold democracy, with Thai features

Speaking at the opening ceremony for an essay contest promoting the Twelve Core Values, Prayut said he was aware that his government was installed by undemocratic means.

"Although I took power in this way [coup], I understand democratic means and we will not fail democracy. We will take care of the people well and equally," he said.

People would be able to access justice equally and fairly, he said. "Please be confident in the existing justice system," he said. "We have to reduce conflicts and stay away from them," he said, "I myself from now on will never talk about anything to ignite conflict.

"Reporters should also ask less questions about this [conflict]. It's useless. For anything that has already proceeded to the justice system, you should ask the question there," he said. "If you ask me and I answer, there will be some problems," he said.

He said his government was laying the fundamental groundwork for the future of the country and trying to solve problems from the past.

"I chair countless committees to take care of all aspects - economic, finance, fiscal and education. I need to explain to the public what I have done for one hour every Friday. Hopefully, it will not bother people too much. I might take your time from TV soap operas but you can follow them on YouTube later, so please listen to me - you will understand," he said.

"If you want something from the government, please wait until the elected government comes in and ask them," he said. "So, next time, please elect a good government into power. Today, we are now moving toward democracy but we also need to enforce the law, which will never cause trouble for you unless you do something wrong," Prayut said.

"If you understand the situation, I think the majority can accept this," he said. "Democracy is the best, but how do we make our democracy move forward? We have to put Thai elements into the democracy, but it will not contradict international values," he said.

"Well, having to come out to show a three finger salute is a crisis, so why don't we translate that crisis into opportunities," he said. "Protest, yes, you can protest, but don't bring a bomb or an M-16 onto the street. That should not be part of democracy," he said.

Democracy in danger

The deadly terrorist attack on the famous Bardo museum in Tunis, which has claimed the lives of 18 tourists, shows that Islamist militants still pose a significant threat to Tunisias attempts to establish democratic government in the wake of the Arab Spring. As the birthplace of the wave of anti-government protests that have swept the Arab world during the past four years, Tunisia has emerged as one of the regions rare success stories. Following the overthrow of Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, its long-serving dictator, the country was briefly run by the moderate Islamist Ennahda movement. But concerns that Ennahda was taking a soft line on combating militant jihadist groups led to the election last year of the veteran secularist Beji Caid Essebsi as president, with the result that Tunisia has now become the only one of the countries affected by the Arab Spring protests to have something approaching a secular-oriented, democratic government.

Not surprisingly, Tunisias success in making the difficult transition from autocracy to democratic rule is bitterly opposed by the legions of Islamist extremists who have taken root in North Africa, particularly in Libya and other parts of the Maghreb that have been rendered lawless by the events of the past four years. Tunisias modest security forces are currently engaged in operations against Islamist militants along its borders, a state of affairs that no doubt contributed to the Bardo attack, which the Tunisian authorities are blaming on Islamic State.

At a time when the mounting strength of Islamist terror groups is destabilising large tracts of the Arab world, it is vital that Tunisias brave experiment with democracy does not succumb to the malign designs of Islamist extremists. Otherwise all the sacrifices made during the Arab Spring will have been in vain.
