Popular Post webfact Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 Move Forward party leader Pita Limjaroenrat claimed today (Wednesday) that he has been unfairly treated by the Election Commission (EC), with its decision to submit the iTV share case to the Constitutional Court for consideration, without giving him a chance to defend himself. In reacting to the EC’s decision, which came one day ahead of the selection of the prime minister in parliament tomorrow, Pita said he understands the intention of the law, which prohibits politicians using the media with a political agenda. He noted that the iTV channel ceased operating a long time ago and the media company has not earned any revenue from the TV channel. “There is no way for me to benefit from a media entity which ceased operations about 17 years ago,” said Pita, as he pointed out the commission’s submission of his case to the Charter Court after considering it for about 32 days, which seems hasty when compared to a similar case against the cabinet, for which the EC took 386 days.

A logical analysis would consider who would be harmed by an EC ruling banning the MFP (Cow Gy) party, and the answer is "peoples democracy" since valid elections are the basis of democracy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They banned one (opposition) party which was doing well in the polls shortly before the election. They pulled the same stunt over media shares with the leader of Future Forward ( Move Forward's forerunner) when they did well in that election, banning him from politics for 10 years, and then came up with some reason to dissolve the party. All about corruption and cronyism apparently - if I remember it was shortly after Prayut had appointed his brother to the Senate, and given a very lucrative contract to supply the Army to his nephew!

That sounds exactly the same as my wife's shop. but I think this time there will be action. even the day after the election i asked her ''what if Prayuth won't go" ''We go Bangkok, we have bus'' Bliss a few days alone. or longer <me lol. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the Jewish people were too peacefully minded to fight back against you know who. Peaceful protest does not work. Police and military will push back with easy violence and it won't escalate past a certain level. Good in one way. Less death. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted July 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2023 And Pita has every right to complain about this massively corrupt and partial EC. This latest stunt of theirs demonstrates that. It is bizarre at best, and at worst shows a determination to prevent the youth from having any influence in Thai society. Surely they could have done this earlier, to prevent the interruption of the voting the entire nation has been waiting for, on the 13th. The EC, the toxic, army appointed senators, the army itself, and the elite had better watch out. If they mess with the will of the people this time, all bets are off. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I mostly agree I don't see anything that indicates corruption. If you place the right people at the right place they do it because they believe in it. No need to pay them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
