Chartre judge asks OAG for opinion second.
The Constitutional Court has yet to choose whether to grant or reject a plea accusing Pheu Thai Party and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra of trying to undermine the constitutional king.
Six points in the petition, which was filed by lawyer Teerayut Suwankesorn at the beginning of this month and led to the dissolution of the former opposition Move Forward Party ( MFP ) on August 7, are contained in the petition.
On September 24, Mr. Teerayut initially requested an investigation and forward the matter to the court for a decision. He then wrote to the Office of the Attorney-General ( OAG ) to request a ruling.
After the OAG failed to respond to his demand within 15 days, he immediately complained to the jury.
The Constitutional Court stated on Tuesday that it agreed to question the OAG to submit a report outlining the steps taken in relation to Mr. Teerayut’s complaint, including whether any evidence has been collected, in order to gain the case.
The judge requested that the OAG submit the statement within 15 days of receiving the notification.
Following his judgment for abuse of power next month, Mr. Teerayut claimed in his plea that he had been in prison when he should have been.
The Pheu Thai-led government supposedly instructed Thaksin to engage in negotiations with Cambodia over regional states and benefit-sharing in the Gulf of Thailand, according to the attorney.
The former prime minister reportedly told the ruling party to work together with the People’s Party to ask for changes to the contract.
After Srettha Thavisin was fired from office on August 14th, apparently, Thaksin allegedly intervened in the selection of a perfect supervisory candidate.
Mr. Teerayut claimed that Thaksin was also responsible for the coalition’s removal of the Palang Pracharath Party ( PPRP ) and that the former premier instructed Pheu Thai to use his ideas, which were presented in a forum on August 22 as the government’s policy statement.
Mr. Teerayut petitioned the court to order Pheu Thai never to let itself to be used as a tool and to demand that Thaksin refrain from acting in any way to destroy the king.
The Election Commission (EC ) approved last week to look into four petitions involving Thaksin’s alleged influence over the ruling party and five coalition partners, and the Constitutional Court took the decision.
The focus of the petitions was the gathering of key members of the Pheu Thai, Bhumjaithai, United Thai Nation ( UTN), Palang Pracharath, Chartthaipattana, and Prachachat parties at Thaksin’s home to discuss Mr Srettha’s replacement.
For appointing former convict to the government secretary, the Constitutional Court on August 14 found Mr. Srettha innocent of a flagrant ethical breach. After less than a month in business, the ruling led to Mr. Srettha being removed.
The requests also requested that the EC take into account whether to officially request the disbanding all of these political parties because they allegedly consented to Thaksin’s control, which they believe is in contravention of Section 28 of the natural law governing political parties.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra reiterated on Tuesday that she was unconcerned by the charges leveled against the organization and its five colleagues because they had no basis.
Ms Paetongtarn, even president of the ruling party, said holding conversations with Thaksin, a former prime minister and even her parents, did not constitute allowing oneself to be manipulated.
Instead, she said, it only demonstrated the existence of strong and healthy interactions.
Nevertheless, she insisted the party would do its best to fight the claims.
Anusorn Iamsa-ard, a Pheu Thai list-MP, expressed trust that Pheu Thai’s lawful team would be able to understand every detail and that the investigation would not interfere with the government’s work.
He added that the investigation approach would need to be complete and that it was likely to take several weeks.
The alliance party leaders vigorously refute the claims that Thaksin was in charge of the organization.
Partnership parties were expected to meet and discuss issues, according to Prachachat head Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, who emphasized that all parties were required to adhere to the laws.
Varawut Silpa-archa, the head of the Chartthaipattana, asserted on Tuesday that each party had a duty to defend its actions despite previous dissolution cases ‘ potential for similar requests.
