Following the set up of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PQRU) at the Council of Ministers with the aim of denying any accusations made against the government, the ruling CPP party is now also planning to form a Quick Reaction Youth Group (QRYG) along the provinces in order to counter the pressures exerted by the opposition party and those who criticized the CPP.
Nam Tum, the boss of the CPP Kampong Thom provincial committee group, declared on Monday that the provincial committee will educate the QRYG so that they understand political work according democracy.
However, some sources among the civil society compare this situation to the ruling CPP trying to coral youth group to brainwash them with politics or turning them into slaves to serve its political purpose. Such an action by the CPP is a danger to the youth education as well as their democratic rights to make their personal decision.
