Focus shifts from Covid-19 to political challenges facing Prayut govt

 

 

As coronavirus-related restrictions ease and people gradually resume their normal lives, Thai politics is all set to heat up again.

 

Politicians will resume business as usual when Parliament opens for a new session on Friday.

 

Observers, however, predict that political tension is likely to spring from internal conflicts in the ruling coalition rather than from opposition parties or political movements outside Parliament. But they still expect the government to survive at least until the end of its first year in power.

 

The House of Representatives will on May 27-29 consider three executive decrees that empower the government to secure loans of up to Bt1.9 trillion to help cushion the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy and people.

 

However, far more interesting than the debate on the decrees is the power struggle that is brewing in the ruling Palang Pracharath Party and its coalition partners, political analysts said.

“Making any change in his Cabinet now will hurt his image and credibility,”

 

How anyone who illegally ousted a democratically elected government, then, rigged elections in order to stay in power, can have any positive image or credibility, is totally beyond me, and I am sure, many other people !
