The Pheu Thai Party's legal team Friday appeared confident that it could defend a charter-amendment bill, despite the Constitutional Court accepting another petition against the planned amendment to Article 68.
Yasothon MP Piraphan Palusuk, a member of the Pheu Thai legal team, said he was not worried by the court’s decision to accept a petition filed by Boworn Yasinthorn and his group against the bill seeking to amend Article 68.
Earlier, the Constitutional Court agreed to conduct a judicial review of a petition against the article filed by Senator Somchai Sawaengkarn.
A group of 312 MPs and senators have proposed an amendment to Article 68 that would require members of the public to petition the Constitutional Court via the Office of the Attorney-General when seeking a ruling on whether a party is attempting to overthrow the constitutional monarchy system of government.
