House, “Somsak” points out that “Thaksin” entered the Pheu Thai Party office. Not breaking the conditions Probation Department I don’t want to compare popular trends with advances. Hopeland slides into setting up a one-party government like the Thaksin era.

Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Deputy Prime Minister, mentioned the news that Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra, former Prime Minister will travel to the Pheu Thai Party office Tomorrow (March 26, 2024), which may be criticized for party domination. which is punishable by the dissolution of the party. How will it be dominated? Because after Mr. Thaksin Coming out of the hospital is like being a normal person. You don’t have to be detained. and did not violate the conditions of the Probation Department can do everything Give advice and give advice or talk can do it all When you can do this, you don’t violate any conditions. Because there are no written prohibitions for people who are on probation. during the sentence Mr. Thaksin followed the rules.

As for the trip to the P
heu Thai Party which is a political party Difficult to separate Regarding the connection, Mr. Somsak said that there were no prohibitions. If it is a person who is fleeing a lawsuit or there has been a court judgment To be punished for anything If we were ministers Going to talk with this person may involve disciplinary matters. But this is not the case. because that period has passed There are no problems at all. And the party is not concerned about this issue. There aren’t any prohibitions, there aren’t any laws.

However, if someone goes to complain, are they sure they can explain it or not? Mr. Somsak said that no one would go and complain. Because there is no fault If it is a prisoner who escaped Then a minister went to talk. You may be subject to a complaint about discipline. But in this case there is no fault.

When asked about Mr. Thaksin’s movement now Is it considered that the illness has disappeared 100%? Mr. Somsak stated that how can people over 70 years old be strong? I’m the only one who’s stro
ng and can kick a ball.

When asked about the case of Mrs. Amarat Chokpamitkul or Jeab, former MP of the Progressive Party, came out to state that Mr. Thaksin probably was considerate of the doctor who certified that he was sick. Which is a condition of the suspended sentence, Mr. Somsak said he didn’t know, maybe he was jealous. People who are ministers may go to seek advice, although there is no law prohibiting it. But people may think about the matter of suitability. Mr. Somsak said that it was okay. He asked and answered, but personally he thought it was appropriate. For example, he would go and ask for advice about the work he was responsible for.

As for the movement of Mr. Thaksin Do you think it is a drag on the government’s popularity or not? Mr. Somsak said: No, on the contrary, the government’s popularity has improved. Wherever he goes, he will always say that People who founded various agencies which he has already supervised

‘Be confident that whatever you do will not violate the conditions. Eve
ryone knows that Mr. Thaksin has benefited the country. and has been popular for a long time and more than any other politician and currently various political parties As you can see, they are all smaller. It started out big. and will become smaller over time. Therefore, political administration or doing something that meets the needs of the people I am confident that Mr. Thaksin will do well. and is confident that he will be a good advisor to all ministers and sees that Mr. Settha Thavisin, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance I’m happy to consult with Mr. Thaksin. Because we saw that it was beneficial,’ Mr. Somsak said.

When asked about the case when Nida Poll revealed the latest popularity survey results that Pheu Thai Party has a falling popularity rating. Mr. Somsak said, “Let’s keep watching.” At election time, people will all run in to help the Pheu Thai Party. and during the election MPs will compete to join the Pheu Thai Party again.

The part is related to the case where there is news that there
will be a dissolution of the Kaewklai Party. This may cause Kaew Klai members to break up and run in to apply for membership in the Pheu Thai Party. Mr. Somsak stated that it is not relevant. He does not yet know whether the Kaew Klai Party will be dissolved or not. However, he does not know if the Kaew Klai Party is dissolved. Is the Pheu Thai Party ready to embrace it or not? Because it cannot speak for the party. You have to wait and see if it collapses or not.

In this regard, the entry of Mr. Thaksin Will it be able to make the Pheu Thai Party gain popular votes and lead the party forward? Mr. Somsak said: Don’t compare with other political parties. Because other political parties have never worked. Therefore, he can speak from every angle. Moreover, he does not know that in the future there is a chance that Mr. Thaksin Will he take full control of the Pheu Thai Party or not? Because he is not a party executive But I’m glad that Mr. Thaksin I’m going to give advice. and talk with party members

As for wh
ether or not he is worried that the opposition will hold a no-confidence debate under Section 152 in the case of Mr. Thaksin, Mr. Somsak said that the opposition debate under Section 152 did not result in a resolution. When there is no resolution What are you going to do? And the discussion of senators or senators did not come to a resolution. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. Ask and answer, as if it were a suggestion. Whatever is good, the government accepts.

When asked if there was no resolution But it might allow people to know another side of the government. Mr. Somsak said that it is very good because today we have to reveal it. You can’t hide it or hide it. There must be a good reason. Revelation is the best. Not disclosing is the worst.

As for whether he is confident that when Mr. Thaksin returns, the popularity of the Pheu Thai Kerd Land Party will slide in the next election, Mr. Somsak said that he thinks it will be better, but how good will it be? Please wait and see. Because if you spe
ak first, it will put pressure on you, which is not good, and put pressure on yourself. while the Pheu Thai Party Will there be a chance of a one-party government like in the Thaksin era? Mr. Somsak said He wanted it that way. But whether it can be done or not, we have to look at the current work. When asked about the current election Will Mr. Thaksin’s movement play a role in the election of the Provincial Administrative Organization or Provincial Administrative Organization or not? Mr. Somsak said: Do not connect them. Each party must have its own people. As for the Pheu Thai Party, there are people who want to run, so please wait and see.

Parliament, “Senator Chalermchai” slams digital wallet policy, has no source of money, postponed and postponed again, predicts the Prime Minister will walk out of the meeting room. The Election Commission said it was not up to par and still allowed it to pass. Neglecting duty Let’s talk at NACC. Ask “Julphan” who hit him in the head?

Meeting of the Senate (Senate), agenda for general government discussion according to Section 153, Mr. Chalermchai Fueangkon, Senator, got up to discuss the digital wallet policy. As Mr. Chalermchai began to discuss, he saw Capt. Thammanat Phromphao. Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives Enter the conference room So I immediately asked, Land ownership policy will be implemented through the ALRO project. Yes, the Ministry of Agriculture I just clicked off the deed transfer. Now I don’t know how many copies have been distributed.

‘It stumbled upon Nakhon Ratchasima. Overlapping at Khao Yai National Park and showing signs of corruption, which conflicts with the National Parks
Department. Ministers have been seen coming out to fully support the ALRO. After that, the attitude changed. I don’t know what the pressure is. Besides, reviving the fishing industry. By amending the law, how will it be resolved? Both the Prime Minister and Capt. Thammanat went to the area to tell Samut Sakhon villagers. Samut Songkhram,’ Mr. Chalermchai said.

Mr. Chalermchai said that this matter is commonly spoken among households that the Prime Minister named Settha will lead Thai people to become millionaires. Turn off the switch of the Senate. Turn off the switch of 3 P. Pheu Thai to become the government of Thailand. Change immediately. Thai people have food to eat, honor, and dignity. It still resonates in the ears of Thai people all over the country and says, ‘The leader of the Pheu Thai Party said it How are Thai people now? Thailand now has household debt of 92% of GDP, or approximately 6.2 trillion baht. I would like to ask the Prime Minister how he will fix this.’

After that, Mr. Chalermchai dis
cussed the digital wallet policy that according to the Constitution in the Act on Political Parties. Requires a political accountability mechanism that does not analyze impacts. Which policy requires spending money as advertised for that policy? At least there must be details of the required amount. and the source of the money Worthiness, impacts and risks in all aspects.

‘Facts about this policy From a detailed document published by the Election Commission (EC), it is stated that the Pheu Thai Party, the lead party that formed the government, has announced a policy to stimulate the economy through digital wallets. that money will be distributed to approximately 56 million Thai people aged 16 years and over, amounting to approximately 560 billion baht, using the expenditure budget for the year 2024,’ Mr. Chalermchai said.

Reporters reported that While Mr. Chalermchai said The Prime Minister got up and left the conference room. Make Mr. Chalermchai Said in an emotional manner: ‘Please listen to me. Don’t let
the minister just listen to me. You must listen to me. If the Prime Minister doesn’t sit and listen, he doesn’t call the Cabinet. The Cabinet under Section 158 consists of the Prime Minister and ministers. Therefore, the Cabinet must include the Prime Minister. It’s okay if you go out. When you come back, I’ll forgive you.”

Mr. Chalermchai said that the Prime Minister announced at every forum that he would not borrow money. But what now? Still don’t know where to go. He noted that the policy for distributing digital money is in the nature of a promise. ‘Putting two thousand in an envelope is still wrong. This is a blatant campaign campaign. It may violate the Election Act, Section 73(1), which prohibits any candidate from offering or promise to give or preparing to give property or any other benefits It is punishable by one to 10 years in prison, a fine of 20,000 to 200,000, and 20 years of revocation of rights.’

Mr. Chalermchai said that the Election Commission said it could be done. Because spending money
from the budget During the establishment of the government It has been stated that this policy will act as a shock to the country’s economy. It creates career opportunities. Expand product production business There will be many more rounds of employment and economic job rotation. It is preparing the country to enter the modern economy. and issued a policy statement on September 11, 2023, but did not clarify the source of income that will be used to pay for the implementation of the digital top-up policy.

‘I noted whether it would be a violation of Section 162 of the 2017 Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, which stipulates that the Cabinet that will take over government affairs must state its policy to the National Assembly. and must clarify the source of income that will be used to pay for policy implementation. without a vote of confidence I looked at the policy statement. There are 42 pages. I don’t know if some are missing or not. The 42 pages don’t say where the money comes from like in campaign ad
vertisements. And Prime Minister Settha didn’t say anything other than the policy statement. The Prime Minister gave a press conference citing the economic crisis. whose conditions have changed causing the need to borrow money But it is still unclear which agency will be responsible. When campaigning, they said they would use the 2024 budget to form a government. They told me to ask for a loan. It is an indication that the campaign is not prepared. No responsibility Just let the villagers choose,’ Mr. Chalermchai said.

Mr. Chalermchai said that the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) said that campaigning like this will continue to be the norm for political parties. He therefore would like to verbally allege that the Election Commission’s use of its discretion in digital policy, saying it can do so, violates Section 162 of the Constitution or not. If it fails, it is an intentional use of power and authority that violates the Constitution or a serious violation of ethical standards.

“NACC, did you tur
n on the television and watch it? If you did, please let me know that I have already accused you. When the Election Commission said you could do it, go talk to the NACC. The Governor of the Bank of Thailand also said that The economic problem is not yet a crisis. Just slow down. The Prime Minister postponed it indefinitely, postponed it, postponed it again, postponed it further. Mr. Chulaphan Amornwiwat, Assistant Minister, sitting here said that he would definitely give it out. But I don’t know when. Because there are people waiting to attack you. I asked whether it was true or not. If we didn’t distribute it, it would be ruinous because it was a policy that a person named Settha Thaweesin, loud and clear, campaigned for. If you can’t do it, accept it with the people. So that you won’t go to jail for bigots,” Mr. Chalermchai said.

a joint committee. In 2014, the previous government has approved negotiations based on MOU44, but negotiations have not been completed and that long Because the content of negotiations is complex and sensitive, including internal political problems. and between countries because it is related to territory and national interest, and at present there is no technical committee to consider the implementation of the MOU whether it will continue or not.

Mr. Panpree also emphasized that The government confirms the main sea zone The line passes through Thap Koh Kood. Because of the confirmation letter between Krung Siam with France Clearly stated that French government Agreed to cede the territory of Dan Sai city and Trat city and al
l islands from Laem Sing. Until Koh Kood was given to the capital of Siam, therefore, Koh Kood must definitely belong to Thailand. and the division of the continental shelf It must be clearly done. on an appropriate negotiation framework

Mr. Panpree also gave confidence that treason Violating that sovereignty It definitely won’t happen because the government has equal patriotism. No one thinks of leading the nation. or the land will be given to anyone at all and various negotiation processes when completed The matter must be approved by Parliament again. If there is an incorrect operation, it is believed that the government will not approve it.

As well as Mr. Peeraphan Saleerathaviphak, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy, confirmed that neither he nor Mr. Panpree and the Prime Minister is possessive of Thai territory and confirms that when he was the Minister of Energy will not use national resources Going to exchange border lines even though we know that energy problems are an important issue for
the country. that must be prepared Ready to make sure that There is nothing more important than independence. and the territory of the Thai nation

Mr. Khamnoon Sittisamarn, member of the Senate Discussed the issue of negotiations over overlapping areas in the Gulf of Thailand between Thailand and Cambodia. He saw that at present there are three approaches: separating the MOU by dividing the benefits of undersea treasures by suspending the boundary matter first. Dividing space into two parts using latitude 11 degrees north to demarcate the upper boundary Share the benefits below. They operate together and cannot be separated. and agreeing on office boundaries along the line before dividing benefits. Therefore, it is demanded that Any decision the government makes will be responsible to the Thai ancestors. and be responsible to Thai children as well, and see that negotiations on boundaries and benefits must be done together Let’s know the whole story first. Until gradually agreeing on benefits .
