Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Monday morning he could not accept the red-shirts' demand that he agree to dissolve the House of Representatives by noon today, but he left the door open to consider their opinions.
In a nationwide broadcast following a special meeting of the leaders of the coalition parties, Mr Abhisit said that he was not able to give an answer to the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship's (UDD) demand within the noon deadline.
“Our objective is not to cling on to our positions. Our objective is to see the country move forward within the principle of righteousness, not just for the short term but for the longer term,” said the prime minister.
