Blame game between NRP and Funcinpec

NRP rejects unification proposal by F’pec

NRP denies that it wants to reconcile with Funcinpec in order to unite with each other. In response, Funcinpec spokesman called this declaration an obstacle for Prince Norodom Ranariddh, and it also reveals the difference of viewpoints between the younger group and the older resistance fighters within the NRP.

On 20 May, NRP issued a declaration rejecting the information that NRP and Funcinpec would unite with each other. The NRP declaration called this an evil information, it also stressed that NRP did not form a joint committee to unite NRP and Funcinpec at all. NRP said that whatever Prince Sisowath Thomico said about him holding discussions or negotiations with Funcinpec, NRP considers this action as a private affair of the Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party only, because Prince Thomico spoke in the name of his political party only.

This NRP declaration was made a few days after Funcinpec turned on the green light for Prince Ranariddh to return and take over the position of (Funcinpec) party historical leader, and also after Prince Thomico talked about a meeting held between Funcinpec and NRP.

Nouv Sovathero, Funcinpec spokesman, told Rasmei Kampuchea on 22 May that this NRP declaration constitutes an obstacle that will prevent Prince Ranariddh from returning home, and that this problem was fomented by Muth Chantha’s group. Nouv Sovathero said that there was indeed a meeting held between elders of the Funcinpec party and NRP elders. The unofficial meeting was held because both party elders wanted to unite all the royalists.

Nouv Sovathero said that even though Funcinpec suffered because of Prince Ranariddh in the past, (current) Funcinpec leaders are still willing to re-admit back Prince Ranariddh and provide him the position of Funcinpec party historical leader, as decided by the 18 October 2006 party congress. Nouv Sovathero said that Funcinpec’s door always remains open to Prince Ranariddh.

Nouv Sovathero’s statement is in total contradiction to the NRP’s declaration. The NRP still does not recognize and will not recognize the 18 October 2006 event, which it still labels it as a coup-de-party, and it cannot accept this unfair change (within the Funcinpec party).

Nouv Sovathero said that NRP’s declaration reveals the difference of viewpoints between the younger NRP group which includes Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, and the group of older resistance fighters in the NRP party. Nouv Sovathero blames Muth Chantha’s group for destroying, for the second time, an attempt to unite nationalists. Nouv Sovathero added that this is a trick used to prevent Prince Ranariddh from returning home to initiate the unification between NRP and Funcinpec.

Good for Rannaridh to reject this trickery proposal...Funcipec is aware in mind that they are going to be disappeared painfully in the hand of Hun Sen.

Many members of Funcipe will separate their ways to join: SRP, CPP and NRP

Who ever associated with Communist CPP will experience only the jobless in political career or jail life in fear and detaining...
