In the coming weeks, the official procedure to start off giving tax preferences to Cambodia will start. " The source adds that this is not an empty threat or just barking for cyberbullying.
The official added that what the EU demands is not just to release Kem Sokha, president of the Cambodia National Rescue Party, from house arrest. , But in order for Mr. Hun Sen's regime to fully open the media, it is to restore human rights and democracy.
Social analysts and social observers see Hun Sen's regime hard to convince the international community, especially the liberal nation, to support the regime. Attending the international conventions of the IPU in Geneva, Switzerland and the European-Europe summit in Brussels Belgium The Hun Sen's delegation was unsuccessful in persuading the international to accept the current situation in Cambodia.
Although Hun Sen and the regime delegation met with EU officials to negotiate not to disregard the GSP, senior representatives were in charge Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini, confirmed that there was no positive outcome from the meeting. . Moreover, she maintains that the falling problem of democracy, human rights abuses and the rule of law in Cambodia is a factor that Cambodia will lose The tax preferences.
The EU in early October had already informed the Hun Sen regime about the move towards the cancellation of the GSP. However, there has been no change in the situation of democratic crisis and serious human rights abuses in Cambodia in recent years.
Mr. Rainsy, Co-Founder of the National Salvation Party and the President of the National Rescue Movement, said Mr. Hun Sen as a violent leader, violating human rights and damaging a threatening democracy. Extremely destructive to the whole country, especially to the suffering of innocent Cambodians, such as garment workers.
Speaking to supporters of the CNRP in Brussels on October 19, Mr. Rainsy said that only Mr. Hun Sen's resignation had left the country free. From international sanctions: "Hun Sen says he loves Cambodians, sympathizes with the Cambodian people, distributes a dozen workers, and so on. If he sympathizes Khmer people, Cambodians want to help workers not let the workers lose their jobs, want workers to raise their salary for their children. Cambodians have more jobs, higher salaries for Hun Sen to go out. "
Hun Sen, a former Khmer Rouge cadre and well-known as a strong man who used violence, cracked down and dissolved anti-capitalist condemnation From the international community including the United States and the European Union, which are Cambodia's major trading partners. These countries condemn Mr. Hun Sen and the regime today due to human rights abuses and the severe destruction of the democracy after the arrest of the CNRP, Mr. Kem Sokha imprisoned CNRP bans political rights, 118 opposition leaders move NGOs to close media To slander and crack down on peaceful gatherings.
Mr. Rainsy said that Mr. Hun Sen had a vicious personality that Cambodia and the world did not need: "Someone is bringing us problems for both of us. All. This person brings harm to all of us. People are miserable! So, if Khmer people want the Khmer to be rich, they will pull the people out. "
The dissatisfaction with Hun Sen's leadership reflects in his protests against his presence everywhere he holds. Traveling abroad. Upon going to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, more than a thousand Cambodians demonstrated against him for two consecutive days. As he traveled to Brussels on October 19, more than 1,000 Cambodians demonstrated against him.
Asia Free could not be reached for comment from Hun Sen's spokesman on October 20. But the Hun Sen regime issued a statement shouting that it was unfair for the EU to consider such a move. Hun Sen still claimed that Cambodia did not die without EU aid.

Meanwhile, products such as Cambodian rice will also be affected, with each year exporting rice to the European market at about $ 200 million. € 154).
Analysts: Hun Sen's boasting that not bowing to international pressure is just a reminder to the public that he still A strong man. But in fact, Mr. Hun Sen is inevitably stealthily neglecting to negotiate with foreigners.
