"Samak" sees it as a good thing, Ratanaset family - former MPs resign from Palang Pracharath Party, giving new generations a chance to emerge in politics, ignoring the negative sentiment, protecting "Paiboon" as secretary, suitable for the current situation Mr. Samart Jenchaijitwanich, deputy spokesman of the Palang Pracharath Party, talked about the case of the Ratanaset family, former MPs and many members of the Palang Pracharath Party leaving the Palang Pracharath Party, saying that it is like football players. Do not view politicians as an untouchable profession because politicians are like any other profession that has entry and exit. He gave an example like football. When there is an opening and closing season, you will see players moving to teams that they play with or if there are better conditions, they will move. Today, it is not strange. We must respect the Ratanaset family and everyone who made that decision. Personally, I do not know if they went to say goodbye to Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, the lea der of the Palang Pracharath Party, and whether they parted on good terms or not. However, please do not make it a political issue because there are people flowing in. Yesterday, Mr. Phakthorn Thianchai, former governor of Chonburi Province, was introduced as deputy secretary-general of the Palang Pracharath Party. Why is there no mention of it? Because he has been a governor for 10 years, he is a quality person. Why is there no mention that people with this kind of potential are flowing into the Palang Pracharath Party? It is normal for people to come and go. It is not strange. As for the part where it is not yet election season but the troops have already been deployed, Mr. Samart said that it is good because politics will be set up and new generations will be brought in. He sees it as a good opportunity for the people as well. The people will get new generation politicians who are not from big families, and some new families will come in to work for the country because if only the old people are left, the new generation who want to work in politics will not be able to come in. He also emphasized that it is a good opportunity to adjust the structure, policies, and work of the party for the people and to make the people believe that the Palang Pracharath Party will be a political institution, a party that protects the people. 'Most importantly, the party leader raised his hand above his head on the day he was re-elected as party leader. He clearly stated that he must protect the monarchy. I think that a political party that is a modern conservative party like the Palang Pracharath Party will have new generations to fill in what is missing. If there are old people, it cannot happen. It is like a tree. If you do not remove the big tree, how can a small tree grow? It cannot happen,' said Mr. Samart. Regarding the news that some resigners dislike and disagree with the appointment of Paiboon Nititawan as the secretary-general of the Palang Pracharath Party, Mr. Samart said that likes and dislikes are individual mat ters. Do not generalize individual matters. As someone who has been in the Palang Pracharath Party since 2018, he has seen the party from having no MPs to having over 100 MPs, and finally having 40. During the time of conflicts, he has been there for all of them. He has seen many party secretaries change. He personally thinks that Paiboon is suitable for the current situation, where the party needs to adjust its working style to be in line with the changing political context. As for what other people think of Paiboon, that is an individual matter. We must respect each person's decision. We should not put our opinions into anyone's heads and we should not put other people's ideas into our heads. He personally respects Paiboon, and in the party meeting, only Paiboon was nominated. No other names were proposed to compete with Paiboon. The resolution was clear that Paiboon is suitable for being the party secretary-general. Source: Thai News Agency
