Cambodia is about to hold its 7th National Parliament on July 23 to elect 125 members of Parliament. This time, 18 political parties competed and ran from July 1 to 21.
This seems to be democratic, but it is actually a transfer of power by Prime Minister Hun Sen. Hun Sen has been in control of Cambodia for 38 years and now wants to pass on power to his eldest son, Hun Mane. Hun Sen announced Hun Mane as his ** person as early as the end of 2021.
Hun Sen and his two sons, Hun Mane and Hun Mani.
Hun Sen hopes that by making Hun Manet the legitimate prime minister, Cambodia's hereditary system looks like a choice of public opinion. But his old rival Sam Rainsy is reluctant to see such an outcome. Sam Rainsy has been fighting Hun Sen for many years, and he opposes Hun Sen's ** and corruption, and even more so Hun Sen's son to inherit power.
Sam Rainsey. Sam Rainsy can't stop Hun Mane from coming to power, but he can hit Hun Sen with **. He posted a number of crossed-out ballots on his Facebook page, calling on voters to cast their ballots to express their dissatisfaction with Hun Sen. He said he had received invalid tickets from all over the country, including Takeo, Teben Khmun, Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh, Prey Veng, Battambang, Siem Reap, etc.

Sam Rainsy wants the world to know that Cambodia's **is a **, Hun Sen's dominance, not the voice of the people. Sam Rainsy knows that in Cambodia, the gun is the biggest voice, but he doesn't want to give up on fighting with words, even if it's just to embarrass Hun Sen.
Sam Rainsy is now in exile in France, and Hun Sen is unable to take action against him. So Sam Rainsy can criticize Hun Sen as much as he wants, and Sam Rainsy's words are his true words.
And King Sihamoni was different, he was trapped in the royal palace. He must obey Hun Sen's orders, otherwise his fate will be like that of his elder brother, Prince Lalaliet, who suffered three car accidents in three years, and his life is worse than death.

Hun Sen certainly wants King Sihamoni to side with him and add legitimacy to him. King Sihamoni can only follow Hun Sen's arrangement. Hun Sen's nickname was "Cao Cao, a small country", and he, like Cao Cao, used the Son of Heaven to control the princes. He asked King Sihamoni to call on the people of the whole country to vote actively to elect a leader who can lead the country's development.
King Sihamoni said: "Dear compatriots, July 23 is the 7th National ** Day. On this occasion, I call on all voters to go to the polls to elect a national leader who can contribute to development and prosperity in all areas. ”
This sentence sounds like the king's heart, but it is actually Hun Sen's mouth. Sam Rainsy said that King Sihamoni was a prisoner of Hun Sen, a puppet without freedom. If what Sam Rainsy said is true, then King Sihamoni's words are forced to say it, and it is helpless.
There have been many examples in history where Shen Sheng died on the inside, and Chong Er died on the outside. Sam Rainsy is freer and safer than King Sihamoni.
Whatever Hun Sen says, it is. King Sihamoni had to do what he said in order to save his life. I hope that the people will understand the king's distress. Everyone knows the truth about Cambodia.
