According to Prak Sokhon, late last month, Cecilia Malmström raised concerns about the principle of multi-party liberal democracy in Cambodia, dissolving the CNRP, banning 118 opposition politicians, and requiring them to file a letter Request for Reinstatement of Political Rule. However, Prak Sokhon replied that the submission of this letter was just a compliment and that Europe should blame Rainsy for sending a message threatening the court's curfews to ask for political reform. .

"Mr Malmström asks us to make sure that they are allowed to re-apply the policy, and you need to make a copy of that letter," he said. "And to blame us. Do not blame Sam Rainsy, who threatens to treat those who seek political re-enactment as traitors not to tell him not to speak too loud. If he threatens to ban them, and if they do not threaten people, they will ask for political rights, "he said.

In a ceremony today, Prak Sokhon called warning Europe's sanctions against Cambodia that took place insolent and the standard two to favor countries that have lagged state Democratic Kampuchea.

Former Senior National Rescue Party official, Meach Sovannara, dismissed the statement by the Cambodian ambassador, saying that the government's opening was impossible for those former opposition lawmakers to accept. He said that because their president, Kem Sokha did not have full freedom to make a decision on the common position for the former opposition

"On the whole issue, it is a hindrance by President Sam Rainsy that it is not a matter of whether the internal unity of your group is restricted to politics," he said. Each of his 110 men, as well as the consultations of Mr. Kem Sokha, is that if we capture the town beggar and let the orphans chase in order to do something in the future ".

Former Opposition Leader Opposition Opposition Rainsy wrote on his Facebook page in December last year, banning former 118 opposition officials from requesting political rights, saying he considered the law This is the split of the ruling party.

Political analyst Em Sovannara said that the EU did not listen to Mr. Rainsy's motives, but came from the government itself, which was contrary to what the international community wanted.  

He also notes that the law that drives former opposition parties to join in such a situation has embedded a strategy to suppress opposition parties, but that the strategy is ineffective because it follows one step ahead of Mr. Rainsy
