Future Forward party leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit appears to have landed himself in yet another controversy; this time it is about his admission that he provided a loan of about 110 million baht to the party.

 

Maverick political activist Srisuwan Janya said he would petition the Election Commission on Tuesday to investigate whether Thanathorn’s act constitutes a violation of the Political Party Act.

 

Srisuwan, the secretary-general of the Thai Constitution Protection Association, said that Thanathorn, who was invited to give a talk on “What is the future of Future Forward?” at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand last Wednesday, told the media that he lent his party about 110 million baht so it could proceed with election-related activities.

Im wondering if he's on the junta's payroll; paid to dig up as much dirt as possible. he appears to do nothing else.

[Psimbo]

'Maverick political activist'? 

 

More like paid toady for Dinosaurs who are petrified that someone may come in who wants to shatter their cossetted little world.

Jail him, shoot him or exile him you're going to anyway!

[kandi]

Does anyone how where that 3.5 million USD might have come from?

I wonder if this Srisuwan Janya has body guards. If not he is going to P.O someone so much he might have to leave the country wi9th his little tail between his legs.. He in fact is a disgrace to the country.

was he elected to that "position", or did he appoint himself?

Always having a go this guy. Last year it was all about someone cutting down a tree.  “They cherished the tree and are displeased with city officials’ actions.” he said. What a loon.

He must be a plain clothes general being paid to make accusations, founded or unfounded, against the FFP since they seem to pose a threat to the junta party.

I might agree if I had any idea what it is you are trying to say!

Thanathon just can't stop running his mouth. There was no need to mention the loan publicly or about the phone call to his mother. Reckless behaviour when he knows there are sharks out there.

He will be banned, as will Piyabutr probably for remarking on the court's verdict about dissolution of Thai Raksa Chart, luckily the no 3 Pannika has no cases against her.

 

[Lupatria]

They will get Thanathorn this way or the other, and would not even stop to ban him from politics for allegedly running a red light.

The real question here is, why can a political candidate not use his own money to subsidize his own party ? Crazy stuff

You do know that up until he declared his intention to run as a politician Thanathorn was head of the Thai Summit group, a company that his family owns and had revenues of 80 billion baht in 2017?

 

Are you seriously questioning where he could have come up with 3.5 million USD?

Gina Miller did the UK people a great service in preventing terrible Theresa May from abusing her office and illegally using the Royal Prerogative to enforce her crap deal on the UK. Miller wasn't the only one to file a case challenging the treasonous May.

 

This gentleman, similarly, challenges politicians and public servants who flaunt, ignore or don't know the law and rules. He isn't going against the 'will of the people". He's exposing people who break laws, the very people who should be respecting the laws as the want to become law makers.

 

He needs to cast his net wider.

Most countries have strict rules with regards to the funding of political parties. 

 

Quite a few politicians and political parties around the world seem to fall foul of their own country's laws in that respect.

 

Whether anyone agrees with the law or not isn't the point. You must abide by the rules until you are in a position to change ones that need changing.

Yep. Why give the people after you ammunition?

 

The answer is, of course, that all hiso very very wealthy billionaires don't believe for one minute that any laws and rules apply to them. They have done just what the want for most of their lives and have armies of lackeys to clean any mess up. But, once they enter the political arena, they find the rules not only apply but are tricky, numerous and can be applied selectively.

Sure, but I doubt there is even a single country that prohibits a candidate using his own money to fund his own party. I wonder how ppp was funded, but I guess the NCPO is exempted from those laws...

I suppose HOW you get into the position to change the rules, is irrelevant to you ?

Where are all the allegations this Srisuwan said he was going to bring against members of the PPRP party?

Has he misplaced them under all the other garbage sitting on his desk?
