Former red-shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan is organizing a protest next month to protest a number of government initiatives, including a 75 % cap on foreign ownership of apartments and 99-year property rentals for immigrants, which he claimed would only benefit the country’s wealthy.
In a Facebook post on Monday, Mr Jatuporn urged the people to stop becoming “political subjects” and protest against Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s activities.
He claimed that the government was keeping a key agenda that would help particular organizations when they sought to raise money for the upcoming election.
” The prime minister was a real estate creator”, said Mr Jatuporn in the Facebook post.
Thailand will reduce its democracy if his plans are put into practice without any opposition because condominiums there could be wholly owned by foreigners– 75 % through legal ownership and 25 % through nominees, according to Mr. Jatuporn.
He added that by extending the utmost property lease term from 30 to 99 times, foreigners would be able to “establish provinces” in Thailand.
He claims that the international apartment possession scheme is for 4 trillion baht.
Mr. Jatuporn also made reference to other government projects that require colossal amounts of funding, including the electronic pocket scheme, the southern Land Bridge venture, and a blackjack complex development.
He praised the digital wallet scheme, which would give eligible citizens a one-time 10,000-baht cash bonus, and claimed the budget request’s budget request’s budget request and real spending could reach as much as 400 billion baht.
Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, the head of the Thai Sang Thai Party, even criticized the proposed changes to the property rent and property rights limit, saying the government should concentrate on assisting Thai citizens.
” People are losing their houses”, she said. The state must tackle this urgent issue right away.
