Poll leaders have the ability to “pick and chose rules.”

Move Forward Party (MFP) chief adviserPita Limjaroenrathas accused the Election Commission (EC) of double standards for its petition to the Constitutional Court seeking to disband the party.

The MFP’s struggle against the MFP was updated on Sunday by Mr. Pita, highlighting the EC’s policy of filing grievances against the MFP. This is against the law.

He claimed that the EC has a triple standard because it relied solely on Section 92 of the natural law for political events, which allows the EC to obtain the MFP’s abandon without conducting an investigation.

According to Mr. Pita, it is obvious that Section 93 of the laws cannot be used without a link to Section 92. A double regular may happen, he said, if both sections are exercised differently in a group breakdown case.

The EC if petition the court to dissolve any party when trustworthy evidence is that any party has carried out acts that undermine the constitutional king.

Section 93, however, says the group registration, when discovering like acts, may gather facts and evidence and provide it to the EC for thought, which did follow the rules and methods specified by the commission.

He added the EC was exercise merely Section 92 in a party dissolution case it wished to expand, but if it wants to slow down the process, it was exercising both sections continuously.

But, Mr. Pita said that the party would be on an “expressway” to breakdown if both sections were used differently in the MFP disintegration case.

The question is,” Can the EC use its judgment in this manner without anyone else getting involved in the selection”?

He added that a group facing breakdown must file a complaint with the EC.

This is also highlighted by the EC itself’s written document, which states that a party may be allowed to recognize and defend the situation with the EC before it is submitted to the jury.

The EC has previously responded to the MFP’s problems, denying the group is being treated unfairly.

The MFP was given the order to file information within seven days on June 19 for a hearing on Wednesday.

A resource reported on Sunday that an organization fighting human smuggling has written to Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to request assistance for 21 Moroccan nationals who have fallen victim to a scheming crew operating on the Thai-Myanmar border.

According to Exodus Road, the Moroccan Embassy in Bangkok sought help from various firms, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Thai Army, the Department of Special Investigation, and the Myanmar Embassy in Bangkok, through an official email on May 17.

Exodus Road, however, claimed there has n’t been any progress since then, so it has now made the decision to approach the PM for assistance.

According to the source, the Moroccans were lured by a Chinese transnational crime syndicate, who told them they would be working at an e- commerce business in Thailand, with a starting salary of about$ 1, 000 ( 36, 700 baht ) per month.

Nevertheless, shortly after arriving in Thailand in February, the party was taken to Hpa Lu community in Myanmar’s Myawaddy area, which is located across from Phob Phra region in Tak state.

That, the source said, the patients are kept in a place, where they are constantly tortured. They were likewise told to ask their friends for$ 6, 000- 8, 000 ( 220, 000- 295, 000 baht ) in compensation, or risk being sold off to another group.

Five patients managed to get their family to pay the ransom in April, but they remain in the group’s prison, the source said.

Exodus Road even wrote a letter to Fair Party MP Kannavee Suebsang, who had formerly assisted in the removal of migrants trapped in Laukkaing, Shan condition, when it was besieged by insurgent forces.

In a Twitter post on Friday, Mr. Kannavee claimed that the Chinese-run gang likewise held 41 Sri Lankans hostage in Myanmar in addition to the Moroccan people.

He urged the government to launch a rescue mission using the National Referral Mechanism ( NRM ) method and the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, who would assume responsibility.

Mr Kannavee said several gangs are operating out of” No Man’s Land” straight across the border from Tak’s Phob Phra city, due to the lack of regulation protection in the area and easy access to Thailand’s telecommunication infrastructure.

Blames drop in rankings on late 2024 resources

After an view surveys revealed his reputation and that of the ruling Pheu Thai Party had declined, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin pledged to work harder to increase the president’s performance. He vowed to do so in order to lag behind their primary political adversaries.

According to the quarterly poll conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration ( Nida ), the popularity of Mr. Srettha and Pheu Thai has continued to decline while Pita Limjaroenrat and the Move Forward Party’s ( MFP ) popularity has continued to grow. Despite the efforts being made by the government to restart the market, this is untrue.

The results, released on Sunday, showed only 12.85 % of voters supported the prime minister, a drop from 17.75 % in the previous survey. Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the youngest daughter of former prime minister Thaksin, also saw her popularity decline from 6 % to 4.85 %.

According to those who were polled by Nida, Mr. Srettha is a steadfast decision-maker who is determined to solve their issues. Ms Paetongtarn, however, was praised for her vision, management, knowledge and understanding of the region’s problems.

The prime minister, who was making an official visit to the Northeast, stated in Surin on Sunday that he would continue to listen to issues plaguing Thai people. His next time visiting the area in a month.

After receiving widespread criticism, he has since reduced his international travels, insisting that some excursions were required to promote Thailand to foreign investors.

He told investigators on Sunday&nbsp, that the statistic result reminded him to work harder.

The ballot “reflects the opinions of our job” He remarked that we must work harder to discover what people actually want and provide what they need and also addressing their issues.

He stated that he and his government will continue to travel the country until his four-year term expires to listen to the problems of the people.

Asked if he will change his strategy to win again the people’s respect, Mr Srettha said:” We continually adjust our technique, whether there is a ballot or not. The state receives input from the viewpoint survey.

He noted that some important government initiatives have n’t yet been implemented because the current fiscal year’s budget was only approved about two months ago.

The 3.48 trillion- baht resources for the 2024 governmental season, which began on Oct 1 next year, was suddenly passed in April, as it took a long time to form a government after the last election.

” I do n’t want to use the budget as an excuse every time …]but ] we have to admit that it affected the government’s performance. We need some time]to improve ]”, the prime minister said.

According to the Nida poll, MFP chief adviser Pita maintained his lead over all other prime minister candidates, with a 45.5 % approval rating, a slight increase from 42.75 % from the last quarter poll.

Meanwhile, Pirapan Salirathavibhaga, the United Thai Nation Party leader, saw his popularity almost double from 3.55 % to 6.85 %.

Nida’s survey revealed that those who questioned him admired his broad-based political philosophy and his wisdom.

They supported Mr Pirapan for his trust, clear image and credibility.

Chaiwat Limlikhitaksorn, chairman of the National Parks Office, claims he is concerned about the loss of 265 286 acres of agricultural land in Thap Lan National Park as a result of a project to reform the area.

Through an online poll conducted by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife, and Plant Conservation ( DNP ), he has invited the public to vote against the government’s plans until July 12.

In four Nakhon Ratchasima districts and one neighborhood in Prachin Buri, Thap Lan National Park has an area of 1.4 million ray.

The area is part of the government’s Dong Phayayen- Khao Yai Forest Complex, a World Heritage site.

In order to resolve land disputes between locals and the regional area, the Prayut Chan- o cha’s government made the decision on March 12 of last year to allow the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to withdraw the secured location for Sor Por Kor property plots.

The new moderate is drawn based on the president’s One Map initiative, which standardises charts used by state firms at a level of 1: 4, 000 to resolve problems caused by overlapping boundaries.

” People should be concerned if the national park’s borderline will be changed due to last year’s cabinet’s resolution. With the new borderline, the department will lose 265, 286 rai to the Office of Agricultural Land Reform ( OALR )”, he said.

He claimed that the land may later change hands after farmers have been able to do so for five years, but that was not the best way to resolve the land dispute issue.

He claimed that in 1981, three years after OALR released land reform proposals for the area, Thap Lan was designated as a national park.

At that time, the disputed land covered about 58, 882 rai.

However, after OALR conducted a new survey and the One Map project in 2016, the land in dispute increased to more than 260, 000 rai.

One of the well-known resort areas in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Soeng Sang and Wang Nam Khieo districts, were where the land was located.

According to Mr. Chaiwat, those who live on the disputed land are investors and resort owners who want to create wealth as well as landless farmers.

He warned that if Thap Lan National Park loses its forest reserves, it will result in significant land shortages elsewhere.

” There are 316, 560 households on disputed land nationwide today”, he said. ” If the’ Thap Lan model ‘ succeeds, the country will lose about 4.2 rai of forest land to those who have encroached”.

This runs counter to the 20- year national strategy, which stipulates the country must maintain 40 % of its land as natural woods, he said.

A poll to gauge public opinion before the new borderline becomes effective, he said, urging people to vote on the new borderline on Facebook ( facebook .com/ThapLan ). NP ).

He stated that the survey will be accessible through July 12th. On Thursday and Friday, he added, Nakhon Ratchasima, Prachin Buri, and Sa Kaeo will hold public hearings on the subject.

The findings will then be forwarded for analysis to the national committee that is in charge of the park, he said.

As he wrapped up his three-day tour of the area on Sunday, Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, pledged to encourage agricultural products from the Northeast, including natural grain and superior meat.

Mr Srettha, accompanied by some government officials, visited Roi Et, Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket and Surin from Friday until Sunday, to discover each state’s ability and issues.

He promised to encourage the country’s agricultural create in an effort to enhance the local economy by speaking to the media at the Rattanaburi School in Surin, where he ended his journey of the area.

He pledged to support the development of” Surin- gyu,” a breed of Chinese animals that is being reared in the state and is starting to gain traction in the market. He even promised to update the state’s farms to meet international standards.

According to Surin, the country’s farmers regularly report substantial grain yields during the rice production season, and Mr. Srettha said authorities may find a way to make sure the high output results in better livelihoods for the province’s farmers.

Organic rose wheat from the state sells for around 45 baht a kilogramme, up to three times the price of similar light rice from different provinces, which fetches between 15- 20 baht per kilogramme. Grown healthy grain from Surin, however, may fetch up to 100 ringgit per kilogramme.

In an effort to address the state’s water scarcity issue, Mr. Srettha claimed he had visited Huai Kaew pond in Roi Et.

He stated that the government will continue to prioritize the province’s higher levels of drug-related offense, which is known for its high rates of illicit drug trafficking.

The premier likewise visited a rehab facility and stated that he wants to include measures set by September to address the province’s drug problems.

In Si Sa Ket, the top inspected the costs of agricultural products. He said he was pleased that the prices of some make, such as scallions, are higher this year.

In Ubon Ratchathani, the prime minister addressed the issue of ocean control.

He declared that he would travel back to the state to participate in the renowned Candle Festival, which will take place from July 20 to July 21 to mark the beginning of the Buddhist Lent.

The duke furthered his education worldwide, first in the UK at King’s Mead School in Sussex and Millfield School in Somerset, and finally after in Australia where he attended King’s School, Parramatta in Sydney, where he underwent firefighter training from 1970- 1971.
