Move Forward treads uncharted Thaksin waters

[webfact]

 

March 1, 2024: By implying that Thaksin Shinawatra has received “elitist treatment”, Thailand’s biggest party, which has been presenting itself as a movement opposed to political persecution and victimisation, is courting controversy.

 

Move Forward leader Chaithawat Tulathon was apparently right in saying today that the country’s justice system is weak, but his statement about how the Thaksin affair has been handled smacks of an elitist approach in effecting justice raised questions about claims that the latter had been politically persecuted.

 

What sounds like Chaithawat’s ideological ambivalence was uttered as he defended Move Forward’shesitancy over whether a censure motion should be submitted against the Pheu Thai-led Srettha government. Chaithawat said that although a final decision is yet to be made on how early the no-confidence debate should be, his party viewed the Thaksin issue as an example of wrong justice.

The justice system is weak??? No there is no justice system.. it is a system that is corrupt, and only for the poor and the unwanted. Elite, and people with money can do as they want even as the treatment of prisoners or suspects by the police...Examples more over..  Thaksin case, look how they treat hungerstrikers, the prisoners in the Covidperiod, and in normal cells which overcrowded etc etc...With the corrupt judges and the influence on sentences of Government and others by them there is no justice.

let me try to get this straight. by trying to do the right thing mfp is being accused of being elitist, and thaksin who has had killed perhaps hundreds in his shoot first dont ask questions later is playing the persecuted?

 

damn, mfp is being cornered at every turn. catch 22 here... whatever they do they are wrong. this shows even more how puke thai needs to be eradicated

Thaksin and his cronies got a shock at the election with the victory of the MFP.After many u turns and  alliance with the military to ensure his return shows how dishonest he is.Thaksin is now worried about the threat of the MFP and its leader Pita and is making every effort to discredit the MFP before another election.

Wasn't the military that ensured his secured return.

PBS attacking MFP because MFP criticised Thaksins selectively preferential treatment as a "born-again" member of the elite.

 

Thaksin has been rehabilitated and welcomed into the ruling clique/elite "team", so naturally PBS, being its instrument, is attacking MFP.

 

PBS criticising MFP for not celebrating the return and release of the "politically persecuted" turncoat........Thaksin.

 

PBS meanwhile ignoring those still unjustly subject to persecution/imprisonment/censure/exile because of their continuing opposition to the elite........you will not read a single word of support for them from PBS.
