The atmosphere at Government House occupied by the supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) was suddenly animated after the Constitution Court ruled that Prime Minister and Defence Minister Samak Sundaravej is guilty of violating the charter by hosting two cooking shows on commercial television.
The court hearing was broadcast at the anti-government stage. The demonstrators at the government compound cheered and clapped their hands following the court's verdict.
"If Samak is named prime minister, or if anyone else from the People Power party is named, we are going to stay here," said Somsak Kosaisuk, one of the leaders of the PAD, a loose alliance of mostly middle-class Bangkokians who opposed the government of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra and see Samak and his party as proxies for Thaksin, who is now living in exile with his family. - Bangkok Post Newspaper
