'Thaksin' insists he has never talked to 'Big Pom', points out that the people who should join the government are those who have always devoted themselves to the government after 'Thammanat-Prawit' broke up, throws the question why they did not come to vote for 'Ung Ing' to be the PM, says whoever did what knows what, and as for the news that the Wongsuwan family is prohibited from being ministers, says it depends on the government, he is not involved, reveals that it is possible for the Democrats to join the government for strong stability, suggests that people with risky qualifications should sacrifice and continue politics. Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra gave an interview after traveling to work at Shinawatra Building 3 about the news that General Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of the Palang Pracharath Party, contacted him to clear his mind to join the government. He said that he had never heard General Prawit's voice, but had only heard the voices that escaped from the phone calls of leaders of othe r parties. When asked if he had talked to the party leaders since the government was formed, Mr Thaksin said that he had not talked at all. It was an internal matter for each party. However, what happened in the past, whoever did something, knew it. Asked whether the events within the Palang Pracharath Party would delay the formation of a government, Thaksin said it was okay. The government should already have a committee. Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party, has set up a committee to help screen everything to ensure everything is as smooth as possible. When asked about the Palang Pracharath Party being divided into two sides, between General Prawit Wongsuwan and Colonel Thammanat Prompao, the party secretary-general, who is suitable to join Ms. Paethongtarn's government, Mr. Thaksin said, "The side that has been dedicated to the government all along is probably the right side." When asked again whether General Prawit did not call, Mr Thaksin reiterated, 'I did not call.' The repor ter then asked again whether General Prawit's statement that he had cleared the air was just a fabrication. Mr Thaksin replied, 'Oh, I don't know. Maybe someone close to him told me. And maybe someone close to General Prawit told him that. But I didn't talk to him myself.' When asked about the news that the Wongsuwan family would not join the government, Mr. Thaksin said that it was up to the committee. He was not involved. He was just a person who was walking by and heard it. When asked whether the Palang Pracharath Party should come through the party, Thaksin laughed before saying, 'I want to sing Asanee Wasan's song that if they come, they come with their whole bodies.' When asked about the news that the Democrat Party will join the government if the Palang Pracharath Party is not fully present, Mr. Thaksin said that it is natural. There must be a voice to provide stability because the country has many problems in the future. Therefore, it must change in terms of structure, especially the economy. And i n terms of structure, it must rely on amending the law and rely on support from the parliament. Therefore, we must be confident that the government has enough voices to create confidence in the country. On August 22, he will give a lecture on the economy and economic approaches to create confidence back in Thailand because today we have already lost a lot. When asked if he would not block the Democrat Party, Thaksin said, 'It is possible.' When asked about General Prawit whether he still holds a grudge, Thaksin said, 'I've been through a lot and been through a lot, but I don't care about the past. I live for today and tomorrow.' When asked about the qualifications of the person who will be a minister, which may cause some risky people not to hold the position, Mr. Thaksin said that everything must be according to the rules. If the Council of State has a written document, if it passes, it passes. If it fails, it fails. Otherwise, the Prime Minister will be in the same position as last time, which is conside red not good. When asked whether those who are at risk will not be allowed to sneak in at all, Mr. Thaksin said that those who are at risk should not. Everyone should sacrifice themselves to keep politics going. When asked further that the people who will help the government are the ones who have helped the government all along, but General Prawit did not vote for Ms. Paethongtarn in the prime ministerial election, should she join the coalition government or not? Mr. Thaksin said, 'The media should ask her why she did not come to vote.' Source: Thai News Agency
