PHEU THAI LEADER Chonlanan Srikaew today (Jan.8) categorically denied the largest opposition party’s rank and file had ever planned to bring former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra back home on condition that they become government after the next general election.

 

In a press conference at the Pheu Thai party headquarters, the Pheu Thai leader dismissed widespread speculation that his party will manage to bring back home Thaksin who has been residing in self-exile overseas since the 2006 coup.

 

Chonlanan said none of the Pheu Thai rank and file had fostered such bring-Thaksin-back-home schemes which, he said, could probably be used in a smear campaign against his camp during a current run-up to the general election.

Party leaders do the planning, not common members.

Technically that is correct.

They didn't plan it. They received orders from the owner of that party.

Be that as it may, the real decisions regarding these things derives from higher up.

Regardless of the govt, they'll [the Shinawatras] never be allowed to return - in any circumstance.

Let's hope they will die in the desert, alone, looking at all their money. 

Maybe if there's a blue moon..

You forget who PT initially nominated for PM in the last election.

 

The only constant is change.

There's going to be one in August this year. On the 30th.

This will certainly be in the top 10 list of fake news for 2023.

Do you believe everything you read?

Do you believe everything said by party leaders and/or current politicians?

Lies, lies, lies, lies and more lies!

So they are definitely planning on bringing Thaksin and Yingluck back under a complete amnesty.

If such a dreamy act scenario were to develop, these folks would have an almost impossible task convincing the over lords who have the final word. Remembering how things really work here...

No. 

I suspect.....that somewhere down the line, all this talk and speculation of Thaksin this and Thaksin that - there's a profitable motive. Be it real or not. 

All about promotion.

 

Just an observation.
