webfact Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 No intention to take Energy portfolio: Sontirat By The Nation Sontirat Sontijirawong, secretary-general of the pro-junta Phalang Pracharat Party, said on Monday that he will not take up the Energy portfolio after an influential bloc in the party, the Sam Mitr, threatened to drive him out of the party secretariat. The politician voiced his intentions soon after reports of a disagreement within the party began circulating, and said he hopes everything will work out so Phalang Pracharat can serve the public. The Sam Mitr or Three Allies later accused Sontirat of mismanaging affairs as secretary-general and creating conflicts in the party. The bloc was reportedly unhappy with the allocation of Cabinet portfolios, which saw Sontirat taking the Energy seat, which was expected to go to the Three Allies leader Suriya Juangroongruangkit. Sontirat said on Monday that he had no control over the allocation of ministries and that he was sorry about the conflict sparked by rumours that he was getting the Energy Ministry.

sjaak327 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Man, a 19 party coalition, 11 of those didn't even get the 70k votes for a single seat, but were awarded a seat by the ec (junta) anyway. And even inside the dictator party they are fighting about portfolio's. Hilarious Sent from my SM-J730F using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be more accurate if it said, 'so Phalang Pracharat can serve themselves.' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that pro junta man babies cannot debate and negotiate without creating a crisis. cha cha, a master in the verbal arts of persuasion, stately poses, good dressing and rubbing elbows with world leaders will restore order to the sandbox.

Caldera Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I didn't expect the General to fail that quickly and that publicly. If he can't even control the sycophants in his own party, surely that won't exactly have a disciplining effect on their coalition partners.
