“Dr. Chon Nan” talks about “going far”, not inviting him to join the government

Parliament, Aug. 10 – "Dr. Chon Nan" speaks to "go far", there is no point in inviting him to join the government. Just ask for a vote to support the Prime Minister only. But don't expect an answer. Confident that one vote for Prime Minister will end

After Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, leader of the Pheu Thai Party together with Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Leader of the Pheu Thai Party, Mr. Prasert Chanruangthong, Secretary-General of the Pheu Thai Party press conference on the progress of forming a government with the Chart Thai Pattana Party with Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, leader of the Chart Thai Pattana Party, Mr. Prapat Phosuthon, secretary-general of the Chart Thai Pattana Party, and Mr. Nikorn Chamnong, director of the Chart Thai Pattana Party. Participate in the press conference and answer questions from the media

Mr. Warawut answered reporters' questions that There is no problem in the case of the Pheu Thai Party requesting a vote from the Kao Klai Party. to vote for Prime Minister Concerned that there will be a problem with the formation of the government or whether Since each party has expressed their intention to work together, it is the duty of each party to help each other find votes. 376 votes for the prime minister is the right of each party, especially the Pheu Thai Party. which the Chart Thai Pattana Party accepts to join the government and will try to find votes to help vote This caused the first opportunity to form a government as soon as possible.

As for the case of senators, it was stated that the Pheu Thai Party sought support to vote for the Prime Minister from the Kao Klai Party. Will it be a trick to back down to become a fake opposition? Dr. Chonnan said that we and the Progressive Party. Trying to form a joint government with the Progressive Party as the mainstay in forming a government Result of function 312 sound Failed not supported by a voice in parliament And the Pheu Thai Party has been handed over by the Kao Lai Party to lead the government under the conditions of 8 coalition parties, which we have tried our best to request votes from all parties because in 312 votes it is already impossible if We traveled originally, we only received 324 voices, probably not more than that. Therefore, cooperation from all parties and parties must be sought.

“According to our inquiries, whether individually, both MPs and senators. and political parties that we do openly Because we want an answer that reveals why they don't vote in the event that we form a government with the Progressive Party. The answer is clear whether there is section 112 amended or not amended. Was unable to vote, only 1 political party said that if the conditions were unlocked, Section 112 could not be touched, he could join the government, so we needed to campaign together to form a government. Under the condition that if there is a far-reaching party, it will not get points. management of this matter We must agree to do We have never hated the Progressive Party. We have never rejected the voices of our fellow citizens, but in this situation. If the Pheu Thai Party does not move forward and do anything, allowing the country to be like this is equal to denying responsibility to the people to the country. Therefore, seeking additional votes is our legitimate right that we have been assigned,” Dr. Chonnan said.

Dr. Chonnan said that the senator had concerns after the Pheu Thai Party campaigned on behalf of the Pheu Thai Party and other coalition parties that we had already announced without a far-reaching party. The fact that we went to talk to the Kao Lai Party or any party to ask for a vote for the Prime Minister's vote. Not to form a government Because we are locked in the constitution that requires cooperation from all parties. Like the case when we went to talk to the Kao Lai Party yesterday (August 9), just to ask if How much is it possible for us to unlock the constitutional conditions? We did not invite the Progressive Party to become a coalition party with no commitment to bring the Progressive Party to join the government after this. I believe that the senator's concerns Some of us are able to answer questions by the behavior we are doing. and give confidence to all sectors believed to be accepted

Mr. Phumtham said it was not an abnormality. which the Pheu Thai Party operates Because they go to every party, every party, everyone, both MPs and senators, because they want to break up the poles of conflict in every political party. and insisted on not inviting the Progressive Party to join the government So go get opinions. to create a new political dimension by Pheu Thai Party and the Progressive Party Or the ruling party, the opposition will work in creative politics. I don't think that we always have to work opposite each other. Because we have discussed what is beneficial to the people, we can do everything except the amendment to Section 112. and matters related to the main institutions of the country All parties Every group went to ask for a vote for the prime minister of the party, every party, every group. But after this, it will be according to the framework and timeframe.

“I don't believe that senators or MPs or other organizations If anyone asks for cooperation, there will be problems. The point that is clear is set up a new dimension of government not taking into account the benefits of which ministry the party will occupy because they want to solve the country's crisis Please trust the Pheu Thai Party and the Prime Minister candidate. from Pheu Thai Party All parties who invite believe and are confident in the quality of the Pheu Thai Party that will lead to resolving the country's crisis, ”said Phumitham.

When asked if the Pheu Thai Party announced that it dissolved the pole, there were still three political parties left, namely the Democrat Party. Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party and Palang Pracharat Party Why not talk and negotiate to join the government? expected to be able to guarantee the senator's voice Yes, Mr Phumtham said that we were not going to invite anyone to join the government. But what is the first problem? Invite them to come together and vote for the Prime Minister from the Pheu Thai Party. along with stating that every party All groups we have already discussed. But the process that will come The conclusion must be Thai according to the process according to the framework.

If the party moves far What should the Pheu Thai Party do if they do not join the vote to elect the Prime Minister? vote for or not Mr. Phumitham said that yesterday (August 9) we talked about Special circumstances and intentions of the Pheu Thai Party and we let each party reflect and think after talking to the Pheu Thai Party. which we did not Stop what we think and take action because we still don't want a clear answer to what we have to do or not do. All parties talked but didn't expect an answer. If not ready, please show it in the Prime Minister's vote, "Mr. Phumtham said.

As for whether there will be any other party joining the government or not, Mr. Phumitham said he asked to wait and see the day the Speaker of the National Assembly made an appointment to vote for the Prime Minister. That day will allow everyone to see who voted for the prime minister. If the Pheu Thai Party becomes Prime Minister, we will see Who will form the government? And the Pheu Thai Party must end on August 17, ready to show the sound that it will vote for the Prime Minister. Get it as a single roll. End.

Chon Nan, M.D. added that The duty of the Pheu Thai Party must be to form a government to succeed. by looking for a way to make it possible for the benefit of the country and the people We accept that the Pheu Thai Party has spent a very high cost. in this work Because we campaign for people to vote in a land slide. But we couldn't succeed, we had to accept that when the situation was like this, we had to manage it for maximum benefit. “Under discussion with all political parties is to show confidence that it is the majority Therefore, at the initial talks, more than half of the majority votes will reach 280 -300 votes or not in the process of working. The Pheu Thai Party has limited options. If this way is not possible must find alternatives for the benefit of the nation I am confident that the country must revert to polarization, color division, and must act to move the country forward by drawing cooperation from all parties to come together,” Dr. Chonnan said.-Thai News Agency
