“Chuan” criticizes some groups of people who join the party to seek their own benefits.

Chuan" admits that the new executives' decision to join the government will affect the southern vote base, but believes that they are not extinct yet because the old ones have done a lot of good work. He said that "Chalermchai" is the 10th leader, but has not created as much credibility for the party as his predecessors. He criticized some groups who used their positions in the party to seek their own benefits. Mr. Chuan Leekpai, Democrat Party-list MP, said after Pheu Thai Party sent a letter inviting the Democrat Party to join the government that tomorrow there will be a meeting of the party executive committee and party MPs at 7:30 p.m. He personally reaffirmed his original stance that he did not agree with Pheu Thai Party joining the government since the first day of the establishment of the government of Mr. Settha Thavisin. Nothing has changed because it cannot betray the people. He asked the people not to vote for the Thai Rak Thai Party or Pheu Thai Party, not because of personal conflicts, but beca use those parties clearly announced that they would develop the provinces they elected first, and other provinces later. We have never seen these methods since the change of government 90 years ago. No government, whether from an election or from a coup, especially the Democrat Party, will be fair to all sectors without caring who elects who as the government, but will manage the country with fairness. But it must be admitted that in the matter of discrimination, I fought alone by asking not to vote for him. I did not bully or hurt him like Mr. Rames Rattanachaweng was once treated. As a result, he received very few votes, not a single southern MP, which was a result of my campaign. Then one day, you come and tell me to support the party that I told you not to vote for. It is clear that it is not betraying the people. I can't do that. Therefore, I would like to confirm that even if the Prime Minister changes, the position remains the same. As for tomorrow, if the Democrat Party agrees to join the Pheu Thai government, Mr. Chuan said that it would not be an agreement because there had already been contact. As for asking whether he invited them, in fact, he thought that our people contacted him before he invited them, or even suspected that he even asked him to invite them. However, out of courtesy, they invited him this way. It is not strange because before the invitation letter, some of our people contacted him, so the media called them a sneaky party, a party waiting to take over. Therefore, he would like to ask that the Democrat Party not be called this way because this is the behavior of only some people, not the majority. This kind of selection damages the party. We want to protect the party's honor. We are not a special party, established to have a certain person become prime minister for 1-2 terms and then collapse. However, the Democrat Party has been around for almost 80 years, has acted honestly and sincerely according to its ideology, and has adhered to democratic principles for a long time. We do not want it to be damaged by the actions of the current party executive committee. Chuan admitted that he was a minority in the Democrat Party, which was clear since the vote to elect Settha as prime minister. However, he had discussed with Banyat Bantadtan, Jurin Laksanawisit, and Sanphet Bunyamanee that at least four of them would still insist on their original stance. However, he was ready to respect the party's resolution. He only disagreed with joining a political party that had previously bullied the people, and he believed that the decision to join the government this time would have a significant impact on the southern vote base. As for many people thinking that the Democrat Party might become extinct, Chuan believed that the party's good deeds still exist and that people don't talk about it much. However, those who know about it will still remember it. However, it will take time to develop the party to regain its credibility, because in the past, they never thought that they would join the government ev ery time. They didn't need to buy or buy the party to gain majority like they did in the time of Thaksin Shinawatra. However, he understood that the new generation of politicians did not think about growing up. They only thought about becoming 2-3 ministers, which was enough. However, the original Democrat Party did not think like this. They only thought about making the party big so that the core leaders could form the government. However, the Democrat Party is a small part of the country that should play its role with honor, dignity and be useful to the country. Being the government is good and can develop the country. But if it loses its dignity to be the government, being the opposition is not harmful.' As for the younger generation who think that Uncle Chuan's era is over, Mr. Chuan said that there is no age limit. Some people also think that he is an obstacle to them, making them unable to join the government. So they try to say that the era of the elders is over. But in reality, he is more of a creato r than a destroyer. And those who say that rely on the party's influence, which they have done, but those people have never done anything useful for the party. They only use the party's name to become politicians. He himself has heard about this but is not angry. Even the matter of expelling him from the party, he looked at who said it and understood because he had just joined the party and relied on the party's influence that the previous generation had accumulated and built. Mr. Chalermchai Sri-on is the 10th party leader, who has not built the party's credibility as much as the previous generation. Therefore, anyone who thinks of removing him must look at the law, which does not specify an age limit. He is still doing his job. He has become someone who is against it, even though many people disagree with him, but they do not want to waste their time. It is the action of some people, making the general public still think that the Democrat Party is still good enough. It is just that some people come in and u se their positions in the party to seek their own benefits. That group of people do not know what to do with him, so they try to say that there has been a conflict for 20 years. So he would like to ask what the conflict is about. We are not fighting for personal gain, but for the people. When asked whether Mr. Chuan would contest the next election, Mr. Chuan did not confirm clearly because he did not want to say anything in advance. Source: Thai News Agency
