Fpec: Ranariddh Used Supporters Like 'Slaves'
By Lor Chandara
THE CAMBODIA DAILY
Funcinpec has hit back at its former president Prince Norodom Ranariddh, accusing him of republicanism and viewing his supporters as "slaves."
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Funcinpec accused Prince Ranariddh of being a republican because he has allied himself with Prince Sisowath Thomico. Retired King Norodom Sihanouk, Funcinpec claimed, considers Prince Thomico to be a republican, and Prince Ranariddh is therefore guilty by association.
"Moreover, Prince Ranariddh considered his members as slaves, which is not the intention of his father the King, who always loved him and his members very much when the King was the leader of Funcinpec," the Funcinpec statement added.
Funcinpec was responding to a Monday press conference by Prince Ranariddh. During the conference, the prince compared his Oct 18 ouster from the Funcinpec presidency to Lon Nol’s 1970 coup against then-prince Norodom Sihanouk.
Funcinpec responded that there is no comparison between the two events.
"Lon Nol staged a coup to topple [Norodom Sihanouk] and his group transformed the kingdom into a republic. The Oct 18, 2006 congress was a reform of weaknesses that the party saw as a necessity," Funcinpec said.
Serei Kosal, Prince Ranariddh's special representative, accused Funcinpec officials of betraying the prince.
"People betrayed the royal. They betrayed him for their own interests," he said. "People curse them," he added.
Ok Socheat, Prince Ranariddh's personal affairs adviser, accused top Funcinpec officials of stealing power from the prince. The officials will soon see the error of their ways, he added.

The world should know better as to why the kingdom of cambodia became a Republic in the 70th .Here are the reasons. The traitor Sihanouk ,who was chief of state, was a communists sympatizer.He was the supporter of north vietnam and vietcong.He alway believed in communist which stand totally against what is khmer. Sihanouk's policy at that time was so dangerous to the survival of the country. Face with that dangerous path,a group of nationalists led by our beloved general LON NOL stand up,and kicked that traitor sihanouk out of power.Republic was borned ,and it was not bad at all ,if you know the root causes of it.It was justified.
And now you 2 funcinpec. If you still believe in sihanouk ,you should believe also in communist ,and you also believe in Khmer rouge, because Sihanouk was one of the architect of the KR'S Victory.
wELL,royalists Funciach,you are all a losers
Hi funcinpec chomkuot....
Thomico was not ,and is not a republican. Sihanouk called him so,because sihanouk himself want to please hun sen . Sihanouk is really really afraid of HUN SEN that is why. Why don't you understand idiots? .
HUn sen will be assassinated by his bodyguard. That bodyguard will be considered as a hero in Cambodia...
It is coming soon...
