webfact Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Military ‘has nothing to do with politics’: Prawit By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan said on Wednesday that the idea of major parties joining forces against the military would “not have anything to do with the military”, and it would continue working as usual. The military, he added, has not made any political act, so it could not be the parties’ competitor in politics. Prawit was referring to suggestions that the military might run candidates of its own in the upcoming national election. Meanwhile, another deputy PM, Wissanu Krea-ngam, said amendments to laws needed for the expected local-administration elections would be submitted to the National Legislative Assembly (NLA) by early next year. He said he could not confirm at this point whether those elections could be held before the national election because he did not know how long it would take for the NLA to discuss the laws. There are six related laws to be deliberated. However, he said the local elections should not be held at the same time as the national election, or problems could arise.

I suspect that he is so accustomed to lying cheating and being grovelled to as the chief power-broker in the military clique he heads up, that he assumes that what ever he says is true.

Attacking the Shinawatras rightly or wrongly has political implications. So no they are not apolitical. Plus they pass laws in their rubber stamp, appointed parliament. That would be political. Maybe from his autocratic view on the world, it was seem apolitical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gk10002000 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Was something lost in translation? The military basically banned political parties, and group meetings. I guess from their point of view that has nothing to do with politics Edited November 30, 2017 by gk10002000 editorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
