A Pheu Thai MP has warned the opposition that, if it attempts to link the parliamentary debate on the budget bill for the 2024 fiscal year, due to start tomorrow, to the current status of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, they could face legal action.

 

Visuth Chainaroon, deputy government chief whip, spoke today after chairing a government whip’s meeting regarding preparations for the three-day debate. “The government is not worried about the debate, because it is confident that its ministers can explain their budget allocations,” he said.

 

Pheu Thai MPs have expressed interest in speaking during the debate, Visuth added, stating that he is sure the debate will proceed smoothly.

Why/how could they face legal action?

Is there a specific law about mentioning thaksin?
