Pheu Thai back to its original agenda
Play
The Pheu Thai Party is quick to go back to helping Thaksin regain his name and circumvent his jail term.
Its goals are:
First, to push for an amnesty bill: so that Thaksin’s name will be included among those exempt from politics-related crimes allegedly committed during the past few years.
Second, to amend the Constitution in a way that Thaksin’s ongoing corruption cases, which are awaiting his return, will be dropped.
Third, to push for the amendment of the Defence Ministry Administrative Act, so that the nation’s armed forces will come under a single person’s behest.
The government was responsible for the floods that are still very much with us. And PM Yingluck has yet to keep her promise not to let the disaster recur next year. This promise, in case it is not kept, may cause the government to lose the people’s support. Therefore, may I ask: Is one man more important than the people – or even the country?
