Bangkok: The "United Power of the Land" group has confirmed that they have not yet initiated any activities to express their opposition to a recent court order. The group, known as 'Ruam Palang Phaendin', stated that engaging in such activities would interfere with the court's authority. They are, however, preparing for a significant rally in mid-August, with the primary goal of ousting the Prime Minister and the coalition parties.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Kaewsarn Atibodhi, a leader of the 'Ruam Palang Phaendin' group, expressed satisfaction with the Constitutional Court's decision to suspend Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra from her duties as prime minister following an audio clip incident involving Samdech Hun Sen. Mr. Atibodhi emphasized that the group would refrain from any actions that might be perceived as pressuring or influencing the court, to avoid giving critics a platform to slander them.
Mr. Jatuporn Prompan highlighted the efforts of the Network of Students and People for Reform of Thailand (NSRT), which has established a presence at the Chamai Maruchet Bridge near the Government House. This group is actively mobilizing support and maintaining a front line until the 'United Power of the Land' can unite. Mr. Prompan encouraged public participation in the NSRT's daily rallies and emphasized the importance of sustaining their momentum. He noted that depending on circumstances, additional provincial rallies could be organized, with plans for further large-scale gatherings in mid-August.
While the Constitutional Court has acted on its responsibilities, the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) continues its investigation into Section 144. Despite the constitutional mandate for immediate action, nearly 60 days have passed without significant progress. As a result, a demonstration is planned for tomorrow to press for updates on the investigation at the NACC.
