Prime minister Hun Sen declared that the CPP is the national solidarity center, and regardless of one’s past history, one can always stay with the CPP for national and familial unification. Hun Sen made this declaration during the foundation stone setting at a pagoda in Kang Meas district, Kampong Cham province, on 27 March, in which some of the SRP defectors were present: Ahmad Yahya, Hor Sopheap and Prak Channy. Hun Sen declared that there defectors were former SRP party members and now they no longer Sy (a pun made out of Sam Rainsy’s name, and also meaning “eat”) anymore, but they are Sen (a pun made out of Hun Sen’s name, and also meaning “making an offering [to the spirits]”) instead. Hun Sen added that the CPP is the national solidarity center, and regardless of which party the defectors come from, they can join the CPP for national and familial unification.
