Energy minister wants forum for ‘exchanging ideas’ with protesting students

By The Nation

 

Energy Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong

 

Energy Minister Sontirat Sontijirawong said today (March 3) that the Cabinet must work together to solve many issues, including listening to protesting students and dealing with the Covid-19 coronavirus, which is affecting the economy.

 

“A Cabinet reshuffle after the no-confidence debate will depend on the prime minister,” he said.

 

Referring to students’ moves to organise protest rallies against the government, Sontirat said it is their right to do so under the constitution, and the Cabinet needs to listen to their opinions.

 

“Meanwhile, I want to set up a central forum for exchanging ideas,” he added. “I think these discussions will be of benefit and I believe many parties want to see the country move forward.”

Well technically that forum would exist in a democracy. Called government... That doesnt exist so what about a boxing ring then? Prayut and prawit against some teenage girls. I wana see that!!

Just a distraction by the Energy Minister , it stops students from protesting which the government doesnt know how to control yet. If the students really believe this Junta will listen and ACT on their advice then take up pig flying competitions.

Stop following the example of your glory-hungry colleagues, do the job for which YOU ARE SELF-ELECTED!

The students have seen what the government has to offer and isn't very much at all.

 

The government has no idea what the students want and will perhaps listen and then completely ignore it.

I thought the students laid it all out on the line ????

It was called the parliament before you kicked their reps out.

They mostly have but the government doesn't want to hear their message. The government fought tooth and nail to get where they are, and they won't give it up easily.
