The EU continues to call upon the Thai authorities to create the conditions for a genuine democratic transition leading to early general elections. During the campaign period, however, there were serious limitations to fundamental freedoms, including restrictions on debate and campaigning," the EU statement said. All main stakeholders in Thailand need to engage in an inclusive dialogue and work together peacefully towards this aim." The statement was issued Monday, a day after the draft constitution received overwhelming support in the referendum.
