The leader of Hong Kong has promised a platform for dialogue amid protests
Carrie Lam
KIEV. August 20. UNN. The leader of Hong Kong Carrie Lam in an attempt to satisfy a key demand of protesters calling for her resignation, vowed immediately to create a platform for dialogue, to investigate complaints against the police. About it UNN reported citing Bloomberg.
Not really detailing, Lam said Tuesday that the dialogue platform will include “people from different backgrounds, different political views and positions”. She also said that the government will attract international experts to conduct researches on establishing the facts regarding demonstrati that will obnarodovano six months.
“I hope that this is a very responsible response to the desire for a better understanding of what happened in Hong Kong,” said Lam.
The study, she added, “will provide the government with recommendations on how to move forward and to avoid repetition of similar incidents”.
It seems that these steps are a new attempt to make contact with the protesters for democracy, who again left on protest action at the end of last week. Although this step does not meet the five core demands of the demonstrators, who oppose the attempts by Beijing to strengthen control over the city, it indicates the softening of the position of Lam after she previously ruled out an independent investigation, the newspaper notes.
We will remind, the EU has called for de-escalation of tensions in Hong Kong.
