7:20 pm
it is not only young people be that are in mind that thailand is one of the top 3 leading economies in southeast asia. and so a lot of businesses here are really concerned about the kind of political instability, the country is facing now. so they hope that a fast solution can be found. what does this all say about the state of thailand's democracy? of course, you know, any democratic system is not just about the majority, otherwise we would have to start renew of the masses if you want. so any system has, um, for instance, their liberal checks and balances. there's read about the press. there are some particularities where, let's say, for instance, the chancellor is not directly voted, but there is a representative votes. but one has to say that and to put it mildly to acknowledge that in the case of a tie system, it's really the legacy of the past of almost a decade of pro military ruling. this country that has been slowing things down because technically move forward together with the 2nd largest deposition party,
7:21 pm
the pure type party would have a majority in parliament, but it is the senate, the upper house, with some 250 non elected military appointed senators. that is dragging things down and has stopped to move forward party from getting into power. now about this return from exile of the former populist prime minister to extension and watch out any sense of what the younger generation, many who might not have strong memories of him. how do they feel about him? that's really, that's right in the end, that's the problem. many older type people would tell you that the younger generation here has no memory off if you want. uh, the good initiatives at that to attack seems, you know, was inactive when he was prime minister. what the young people here see in particular is that the po type parties that he found that his daughter has been running as a prime ministerial candidate in the peer type party. the 2nd largest opposition

party in the country. that is, that this party has quits. the coalition with move forward and has come out the in favor of, of the did in opposition to the reforms that the move forward party would like to see it in the time on our key. and many upsets the hope there seems to be a that they could thereby get a royal pardon for taxes. and you know, was the cost the moment you will land in thailand, you will be arrested coming out of the plane. garrick mathis, thank you so much for joining us. of the in india violent clashes between hindus and muslims. this week killed at least 7, an injured more than 70 people. among the dead include in a mom who died during an attack on and torching of a mosque. this happened in good our problem in the state of har. yana mobs. also
