Secondo Asia Sentinel il pericolo per Abhisit viene anche dall'interno:
"The only real problem facing Abhisit is the potential that the yellow shirts turn against him. That's much more serious than threat of the red shirts," says political observer and academic Chris Baker. "As long as he keeps his major patrons happy I don't think that will happen. But you can't underestimate how powerful this force has become."
Ma è certamente la prospettiva di un'opposizione civica trasversale (che superi la contrapposizione rossi vs. gialli, campagna vs. città) ciò che dovrebbe preoccupare di più l'esecutivo e dare speranza a chi auspica un rinascimento democratico per la Thailandia:
Political analysts concur that the formally rural alliance is becoming a freer, more autonomous pro-democracy movement, and is drawing in support from people opposed to Thaksin.
"The group that started gathering in 2006 after the coup d'etat was very closely associated with Thai Rak Thai politicians," says Giles Ji Ungpakorn, a political activist and contributor to Asia Sentinel who was charged with lèse majesté for allegedly insulting Thailand's monarchy in his book A Coup for the Rich.
Many have joined the UDD over the last couple of months “who are not supporters of Thaksin, but who have been quite saddened by the way the Democrats came to power and therefore see the UDD as a legitimate vehicle of protest," Baker says. "Most of the support is from upcountry, but there is now more of a Bangkok base for it."
I danni prodotti da quel golpe che nel 2006 doveva mettere le cose a posto sono incalcolabili.
