Comrade Akkak Moha Sena Bat Dey Dek Cho Hun Sen (L)
On Monday, prime minister Hun Sen called on all parties to stop using the (election) campaign to create class division between the merchants and the poor. Hun Sen considered such campaign to be unreasonable. Hun Sen said that past experience had clearly shown about the danger stemming from group painting (classification), the division of class, and the elimination of classes. He said that now, the shadow of class struggle starts to appear once again as the election campaign is approaching. Hun Sen stressed that considering the rich people, the investors, the merchants and industrialists as enemies is a sign of danger. However, he said that this theory will not be successful as it was under the Pol Pot regime. Eng Chhay Eang, SRP Secretary-general, said that, currently, there is no class division anymore, and nobody is attacking the rich in their campaign. However, Eng Chhay Eang said that: “People talked about the oppressors, the profiteers who are taking advantage of the poor people only. Right now, we talked about the democracy goals, the legal goals. Those who are doing business according to the law have nothing to worry about.”
