Ex-MP Claims Thaksin is the True Leader of the Government
FILE - Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra //AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit, File In a pointed critique of Thailand's current administration, former Democrat MP Thepthai Senapong has boldly declared that Thaksin Shinawatra, the ex-Prime Minister, is the true orchestrator behind the scenes, despite his daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra's official leadership role. This claim was made in Thepthai's recent Facebook post titled "Thaksin is the Real Owner of the Government," as political debate heats up over the influence of familial ties in governance. Thepthai's comments follow Thaksin's recent address at Rajabhat University, in Nakhon Ratchasima, where he outlined an ambitious plan for Thailand's Northeastern region, known as Isaan. His strategy includes promoting local products through soft power and OTOP initiatives, tackling drug issues with a public information app, and boosting the economy by issuing short-term bonds in a novel coin format. If successful, these initiatives could enhance the country’s GDP from the current 2% to a prospective 4-5%. According to Thepthai, such propositions from Thaksin are swiftly turned into policy by the government, reinforcing the perception that Thaksin is a shadow leader. He highlighted the government's policy statement, which closely mirrors Thaksin's vision for Thailand expressed in his speeches, further suggesting a direct influence on official governmental direction. Additionally, Thepthai noted recent moves to suppress influential criminal figures as a testament to Thaksin's sway. Although a special committee proposed by Thaksin and intended to be headed by Paetongtarn has yet to be officially established, law enforcement agencies have already begun initiatives aligned with Thaksin’s recommendations. This swift action suggests that Thaksin's influence may eclipse formal governmental instructions. Thepthai argues that this synergy between Thaksin’s ideas and government policy signifies a shift in power dynamics, with Paetongtarn’s role increasingly seen as a conduit for her father’s directives. "Father thinks, Father determines, Father directs, Father orders," states Thepthai, encapsulating his belief that Thaksin's influence prevails over his daughter's official title as Prime Minister. This commentary arrives amidst ongoing scrutiny of Paetongtarn's government, with questions about the extent of Thaksin's influence, reported Thai Newsroom. -- 2024-12-23 -
