Fearing personal risk, opposition MPs reject House session on virus

By The Nation

 

 

Fear of becoming infected themselves has scuttled an opposition proposal to discuss solutions for the Covid-19 crisis in Parliament.

 

The Pheu Thai Party on Monday (March 16) summoned opposition partners People’s Nation, Move Forward Party, Puea Chat Party and Thai People Power Party to a meeting at the SC Park Hotel in Bangkok, hoping to organise a special session of Parliament on the matter.

 

But the majority attending the meeting balked at the idea, saying the large House session would put MPs at risk of contagion.

 

Pheu Thai leader Sompong Amornvivat said afterwards he understood the concern and accepted the outcome but they will further discuss it on every Wednesday.

Good idea lets put our heads in the sand and ignore the situation, let 1 person come up with all the stupid ideas then when it backfires we can blame him. What happened to all cabinet members wearing face masks to prevent the spread or have they all decided they don't work???
