As I said, the opposition party has 44% of the vote, representing over three million of about six million voters in 2013 and 2017.
When Mr. Kong Sophea and his other member of Parliament were attacked, it was covered live on social media. Who covers these? Who uses social media? It is the youth. It was live. The nation watched and was horrified.
These youth—and they are poor rural youth, as well—and intellectuals, civil servants, business people, and a whole range of people in Cambodia know very well that they want change. Having Mr. Hun Sen as prime minister for over 34 years, we believe, is enough, especially when in the background Cambodia is losing its land and its forests.
As I said before, the level of impunity is so widespread. The courts are used as political tools by the ruling party. The people of Cambodia want change. The opposition, as I said, is recovering, even.... We are the hope. We represent the hope. We have demonstrated for close to 30 years what we stand for. We have been trapped, struggling for democracy in Cambodia for almost 30 years.
