Thanathorn blows ex-PM’s feedback
Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra rebuffed Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit’s claim that the MFP wanted to amend Section 112, also known as the lese majeste law, because it was Pheu Thai not able to form a coalition government with the now-defunct Move Forward Party ( MFP).
Thanathorn claimed on Twitter on Friday that Thaksin’s remarks on Thursday were unfounded.
Thaksin informed reporters that he had spoken with Thanathorn about Section 112 of the Criminal Code and that he had advised him against overdoing it when reforming the rules.
Thaksin argued that it was not worthwhile to concentrate on passing laws rather than reforming them, and that he was not making any such claims.
Mr. Thanathorn responded, stating that Thaksin is well aware that Part 112 does not account for the reason the MFP and the Pheu Thai Party did not form a partnership state.
Thanathorn expressed concern that Thaksin’s notes may lead people to believe that they had discussed Area 112. He claimed that they had not discussed or come to terms with this matter.
According to Mr. Thanathorn, there have been numerous instances of defamatory comments, which give the impression that the MFP’s position on Part 112 was to blame for the failure to form a partnership.
He emphasised that Section 112 was not a problem for partnership agreements. It was never included in the original MoU, which was never approved and made people. Thaksin knows this best”, he said.
” It’s not that MFP’s authority was reckless or immature. For avoiding forming a partnership, there were other reasons. Part 112 was used as an excuse”, Mr Thanathorn said.
” Unfortunately, Thaksin, who really know structural problems better than anyone, has chosen to become part of the problem rather than the answer”.
Mr. Thanathorn clarified that the MFP always addressed Area 112 as a major battle issue as an MFP strategy assistant. When asked by the internet or the general public, they merely openly responded.
He remarked that constant effort and cultural consensus are necessary to address Thailand’s decades-old fundamental issues.
Thailand did continue to patch up issues without making real progress, according to the statement. He continued,” The state can only advance responsibly if its citizens are mature enough to recognize and fight issues together.”
Thaksin’s comments were made after a campaign event in Udon, where he also said that he and his sister, Yingluck, were victims of social oppression and a revolution. He emphasized that the coalition government has committed no to directly address this problem in relation to Section 112 situations.
