The decision Pheu Thai Party‘s bill, which it claims is intended as a means of limiting the government’s ability to carry out a coupd’etat, has received opposition from the Bhumjaithai Party.
Bhumjaithai leaderAnutin Charnvirakulsaid on Monday that he did not think the bill would prevent a putsch, adding that politicians must not create conditions that the military may use as an excuse to stage a coup.
There are merely a several problems for dictatorships. Such problems stem largely from politicians. If we don’t make them, dictatorships are improbable to occur”, said Mr Anutin, even the interior minister.
” Whatever rules may be enacted, if a revolution takes place, the first thing for the coup-makers is to break up the constitution”, he said.
” Political leaders must perform their duties with integrity and honesty, and they must prevent causing divisions.”
He said Bhumjaithai, a federal partnership companion, did not voting for the costs if it is tabled in congress.

On Monday, Defense Minister Phumtham Wechaiyachai attempted to minimize problem that the bill would weaken the military and spark conflict between the state and the armed forces. He claimed that the Council of Defence and a state screen panel are currently looking into the bill.
” Feedback will become sought”, said Mr Phumtham, even a deputy prime minister. ” There is no purpose to seize the government’s strength. There are laws and regulations that govern the defense.
When asked if the bill had disturbed the defense and possibly spark a conflict with the government, Mr. Phumtham claimed that the defense and the government have been in great terms, adding that military personnel from the Defence Ministry have backed his efforts.
Instead of allowing military forces leaders to appoint officials close to them as commanders, a cabinet-appointed commission may be empowered to do so.
Instead of the defense minister, the prime minister may serve as the council’s chair.
Additionally, the costs added requirements that must be fulfilled by all candidates for the position of general under Section 25, such as not being known for having or exerting undue influence on people or having connections to illegal drugs, human smuggling, or the loss of natural resources and the environment.

They may not perform business or engage in any business or activity related to the ministry. They must also not be a legal party to any organization under the Ministry of Defense.
In addition, the act amends Section 35 by enforcing a ban against using military power or military personnel in situations where the government is seized or under the control of its operational authority.
Additionally, it was stated that military commanders who were ordered to carry out such deeds had the right to refuse to do so and could be seen as a group to a military criminal offense. Additionally, it raises the charges for military officials who violate Part 35 or are suspected of intending to do so by temporarily suspending them in order to launch an investigation.
