CCTV9英语新闻：泰国参议院将草拟危机解决路线图 欲摆脱困境（在线收听）

Thailand’s Senate, or upper house, has agreed to draft a roadmap aimed at resolving the country’s prolonged political turmoil as early Friday.

This comes after a two-day Senate meeting where many divergent suggestions were proposed. Some lawmakers pushed to name a non-elected Prime Minister, an unacceptable proposal to pro-government members.

Meanwhile, a meeting between the interim prime minister and the Election Commission to fix a date for an election was postponed on Wednesday due to security concerns. The government believes a new poll is the best way out of a protracted crisis that has brought sporadic violence to the streets of Bangkok, threatened to tip the economy into recession and even raised fears of civil war.
