Debt (Page 22)

Three devoted Pheu Thai Party soldiers have been left out in the cold thanks to the most recent case change, known as Srettha 1/1.

According to an observer, two chose to suffer the loss of their faces in silence, while the other refuses to accept the shame lying over.

The greats shown the door were Dr Cholnan Srikaew, who was replaced as public health secretary, Puangpet Chunlaiad, who lost her post as Prime Minister’s Office minister, and Chaiya Promma, who was deputy agriculture minister.

Following the reshuffle, Mr. Chaiya wasted no time yuttling a salvo at Pheu Thai and yutta warning that it was inappropriate to let the axe fall on him, with the Move Forward Party ( MFP ) snatching up the party’s sleeve for dominance in national politics.

No one else could better reflect Pheu Thai’s northern electors in the case, according to Mr. Chaiya.

Pheu Thai defeated the MFP with about 5.11 million votes in the Northeast despite their unexpected battle at the previous election in its enclave in the north. The MPs in Pheu Thai’s district prevented the MFP from wooing citizens, which was credited with this success.

Mr. Chaiya, an MP for Nong Bua Lam Phu and one of Pheu Thai’s most well-known officials in the Northeast, claimed it was district MPs like him who worked tirelessly to safe and keep the redoubt in the Northeast. This was done so that list prospects may use their reputation to run for office.

Mr. Chaiya warned that the MFP is quickly catching up with the major opposition party in areas where it was originally in the lead in several elections and is giving Pheu Thai a run for its money.

He noted that while winning in some constituencies in the general election next year, the MFP had little to do with regular campaign ads.

He claimed that it was high time the ruling party looked inside and discovered how to best prepare and formulate new strategies for the upcoming standard vote less than four years from today.

He said that it is wrong to sideline hard-working and devoted MPs who have tough devotion to their constituencies.

” Do n’t forget that Pheu Thai has been given a chance by Isan]northeastern ] voters many times already.

What does the group have to offer in exchange for their unwavering help, the question is today. “he said.

While Mr. Chaiya expressed his frustration, a communication lamenting Dr. Cholnan’s removal from the cupboard had trampled on his pride circulated on social media.

The message was posted on the day before the most recent cabinet appointments took effect on the Mor Cholnan FC Mai Mee Drama ( Dr. Cholnan’s Fan Club, No Drama ).

A profile picture of a Dr. Cholnan image that was allegedly operated by Dr. Cholnan’s long-standing followers was posted to the site. A comment next to the photo claimed that the original public health minister had been abandoned and discarded while others ruthlessly searched for power.

It was shared frequently, although access to the Social blog’s comment box was restricted.

At the same time, some social critics were candid about Dr Cholnan’s resignation.

They claimed that Dr. Cholnan previously demonstrated leadership skills despite having led the Pheu Thai Party, which explains why he had been exempt.

Jittakorn Bussaba, a political scientist and well-known journalist, claimed on the Naewna website talk program that despite having been given the Pheu Thai command, he continued to be in the shadow of Paetongtarn, the head of the Pheu Thai Family, a position that is believed to have been created specifically for her.

Dr. Cholnan has then taken over as Pheu Thai president as the youngest child of paroled former top Thaksin Shinawatra, who is believed to still have a lot of influence in Pheu Thai.

The group, according to Mr Jittakorn, showed little respect for Dr Cholnan as its leader. The fact that the party did not even choose him among the three applicants for prime minister in the previous election served as an example.

The three are now Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, Ms Paetongtarn, and Chaikasem Nitisiri, who held no major party article at the time of his candidacy.

While Dr. Cholnan was standing next to her, with his head bent forwards and his fingers clasped in front of him, during the election campaign, Ms. Paetongtarn spoke on stage and at gatherings while” with her head held high and her again straight” and” with her head held high and her again straight.”

The critic suggested that Dr. Cholnan may consider leaving Pheu Thai if he believes the organization is not treating him fairly and should support the Bhumjaithai Party, which has been seeking to strengthen in Nan, where Dr. Cholnan has been elected numerous times.

Dr Cholnan, he suggests, may come where he might be appreciated.

waiting for holes to shape

Following new maneuvers by the ruling party that could stress connections between two partnership partners, political observers are then monitoring the possibility of a broken within the Pheu Thai-led partnership.

One is Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s contact for the change in the legal standing of cannabis. The Bhumjaithai Party, which effectively advocated for legalizing marijuana during the prior administration, is not in favor of the premier’s position.

The flower was delisted in 2022 as a Category 5 opiate, except extract containing more than 0.2 % THC, the substance that creates the psychedelic result.

However, decriminalization without extensive laws to regulate and control its use sparked a public outcry and concerns about its use, misuse, and potential long-term effects.

Pheu Thai and the Democrat Party claimed that the proposed rules were too weak, and Bhumjaithai sponsored a cannabis power bill that was shot down in its second studying in congress.

Common health regulations as well as the medicinal plant law, which do not sufficiently support all cannabis uses, now make it possible for people to use cannabis for clinical and research purposes.

Pheu Thai announced during the campaign leading up to last year’s election that it did not support cannabis liberalization and that it would fight against illicit drug abuse.

Eight months after taking office, Mr. Srettha demanded that a May 8 meeting be held to discuss the issue of narcotics be held in the Ministry of Public Health, stating that the decision was in the public’s best interests.

Anutin Charnvirakul, the leader of Bhumjaithai, the minister of interior, Somsak Thepsutin, and Tawee Sodsong, the justice minister, were among those present at the meeting.

Mr. Somsak was “unable to wait to complete it.” ]PM Srettha Thavisin ] has given the ministry until the end of this year to reclassify cannabis as a narcotic, “he said”. The sooner, the better,” said Mr Somsak.

Mr Anutin, who served as public health minister in the Prayut Chan- o- cha administration, was apparently cautious about Bhumjaithai’s stance on the reclassification issue.

The Narcotics Control Board had approved the marijuana use as a narcotic, and he was the only person who could object to that decision at the meeting.

Political watchers view Mr Srettha’s move on cannabis as damaging to the Bhumjaithai Party, especially considering the prime minister’s” people’s interest “remark.

This could be seen as implying that the coalition partner’s cannabis policy was ill- thought- out and driven by personal interests, they noted.

Olarn Thinbangtieo, a lecturer in political science at Burapha University, told the Bangkok Post that Pheu Thai would win over the public if it reinstated marijuana on the drug list.

After seeing its popularity decline consistently over the past few months, he predicted that the ruling party will win some points with this policy.

According to Mr. Olarn, Mr. Srettha’s actions may also lead to rifts with the United Thai Nation ( UTN) Party, which saw one of its ministers resign the cabinet just days after the reshuffle.

He was referring to Krisada Chinavicharana, who resigned as the country’s deputy finance minister due to the work arrangements made by Pichai Chunhavajira, who had just been appointed. The Public Debt Management Office’s responsibilities fell to Mr. Krisada.

Mr. Krisada claimed in his letter of resignation that the media misled him because he and Mr. Pichai had a different work philosophy and that Mr. Pichai had not treated him with respect when they collaborated.

Due to the fact that he was from a different party, the division of responsibilities was widely seen as a ruling party’s move to lessen the role of the deputy minister in the Finance Ministry, which is the main component in the implementation of the digital wallet scheme.

The tension will likely grow even more so after Energy Minister and UTN leader Pirapan Salirathavibhaga asked for the relief measure, especially given Mr. Srettha’s refusal to allocate funds from the government’s central budget reserves to alleviate the hardship caused by high energy prices.

The prime minister has requested that the state’s Oil Fuel Fund be used to stabilize oil prices, and that if it runs out, the central budget reserves be used to replenish it. The Oil Fuel Fund reported that as of May 5, Mr. Pirapan’s situation caused legal issues because it was 109 billion baht in the red.

There is a chance that Bhumjathai and UTN could face a backlash from their own supporters because of the ruling party’s actions. According to Mr. Olarn, it is possible that Pheu Thai’s coalition parties will withdraw their support for the digital wallet scheme in retaliation.
