Bangkok: "Thanakorn" counters the opposition for playing politics excessively, pressuring the Prime Minister to dissolve the parliament. After the quorum was not enough, he pressured the Prime Minister to dissolve the parliament. The country is not a toy. If you are not satisfied, you will overthrow the board. Even though the intention is to violate the court order, you still force the amendment of Section 256 and set up the Constituent Assembly. The MPs and Senators are ready to perform their duties but must carefully consider the law.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, former Minister to the Prime Minister's Office, Deputy Leader of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, and MP for the party-list of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, spoke about the case in which Mr. Nattapong Ruangpanyawut, MP for the party-list and leader of the Prachachon Party, led MPs to make a statement pressuring the Prime Minister to dissolve the House of Representatives. This came after the quorum was not sufficient during the agenda to consider amending Section 256 and adding Section 15/1 to create a new Constitution Drafting Assembly. Thanakorn criticized the Prachachon Party's demand for the Prime Minister to use his power to dissolve the House of Representatives as an unreasonable demand, stating that the Prime Minister's decision to dissolve the House should only occur in a deadlock. He emphasized that the current situation regarding the constitutional amendments is not a political dead end, and channels to resolve the issue still exist wit hin the House of Representatives.
Thanakorn further argued that the Prachachon Party's actions could be seen as an excessive political game, asserting that the nation should not be treated as a toy where things can be reset at will. He pointed out the substantial financial cost of elections and urged the Prachachon Party to reconsider its political role. Thanakorn expressed his belief that MPs are ready to work on amendments that address the people's issues but cautioned against the proposed changes to Section 256, which could violate the Constitutional Court's ruling No. 4/2564.
He also highlighted the People's Party's failure to hold a referendum before attempting to draft a new constitution, which contradicts the Constitutional Court's ruling. Thanakorn stressed the importance of respecting the people's voices and recommended focusing on legislative amendments that prioritize the people's welfare over political interests.
