webfact Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yingluck to be target of censure moveThe NationDemocrats say they will focus on the PM and Thaksin in no-confidence debate late this monthBANGKOK: -- The opposition's censure debate late this month will focus on Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, with likely attacks on her leadership skills, according to sources from the Democrat Party.Opposition MPs taking to the floor during the no-confidence debate would also direct their attack at the Shinawatra family, with Yingluck's big brother and former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra likely to be the biggest target, the sources said.The Democrats will file a motion of no confidence either today or on Monday, paving the way for a censure debate before November 28, according to chief opposition whip Jurin Laksanavisit, who is a senior Democrat MP."Opposition lawmakers are ready to censure the government," he said.The current parliamentary session ends on November 28.Jurin said the censure would focus on a number of issues related to the government's performance.Chief coalition whip Aumnuay Khlangpha said yesterday that a censure debate might be held on November 22, 23 and 24 if the party files a censure motion this week.The debate appears likely to be held on a weekend because Yingluck is scheduled to travel to Singapore on November 26 and 27, where she will attend the Thai-Singapore Prime Ministers' Retreat.Jurin said the PM had often used overseas travel as a reason to miss parliamentary events.Government Spokesman Teerat Ratanasevi said the prime minister would definitely attend the censure debate and would be ready to respond to the opposition's allegations. However, Yingluck's schedule for the Singapore trip would not be changed."The schedule was made beforehand, and it is not meant to coincide with the censure debate," he said.Jurin, meanwhile, voiced concern about the risk of a confrontation between the red shirts and anti-amnesty protesters. He called for the prime minister to intervene and ensure that both sides remain safe.Former Democrat MP Suthep Thaugsuban announced on Wednesday night that he would step up the rally currently at Democracy Monument from tonight. But before that, anti-government protesters including school and university students are due to march on Rajdamnoen Road.Meanwhile, the red shirts have scheduled a mass rally at Muang Thong Thani from Monday until Wednesday next week.Security Council secretary-general Paradorn Pattanatabut said yesterday that the authorities would keep close watch today over the intensified protests, voicing concern that a "third hand" might intervene and cause trouble."The protests will likely drag on until the end of this month," the NSC chief said.Paradorn said rally organisers might expect two events - a judicial ruling on a charter amendment bill related to the Senate or the censure debate, to spur their protests.He added, however, that the outcome of the bill could favour the government, contrary to the organisers' hopes.Red-shirt chairwoman Thida Thavornseth said anti-amnesty rallies had lost momentum because of the end of the amnesty push by the government.Thida said the Democrats wanted the protests to persist in order to manipulate public sentiment.She pointed out that the red shirts' rally site was in a closed compound at Muang Thong Thani to avoid a confrontation between rival protesters.She said the red shirts suspected that the anti-amnesty move was just a pretext to try to bring down the government."The reds rally is not meant to sway the Constitutional Court in the upcoming judgement for the charter amendment bill but to send a signal to the opposing side," she said.The Constitutional Court, whose office is at the Government Complex on Chaeng Wattana Road, has scheduled Wednesday to announce its ruling on a charter amendment bill related to the election and qualifications of senators.She said the red shirts disagreed with any bid to change government via extra-constitutional means.Anucha Romyanant, deputy spokesman of the Peacekeeping Operations Centre, said yesterday that the Metropolitan Police would ask protesters occupying the streets in the city to return the area to prepare for celebrations for His Majesty the King's birthday early next month.Currently, there are three stages for political rallies, at the Makkawan Bridge, Phan Fa Lilat Bridge and Democracy Monument on Rajdamnoen Avenue.There are also rallies at 24 locations in the provinces with about 11,000 protesters all up, including a rally of pro-government red shirts in Samut Prakan.He noted that tens of thousands of tourists flew into the country via Suvarnabhumi Airport yesterday - 13 per cent over the same day last year.-- The Nation 2013-11-15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fear spoils their integrity. Thaksin is running the government from his nest in Dubai. That is why. The very fact that he, a fugitive from justice, is running the govenment should be enough to have the government dissolved and the PTP barred from running the country. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fear spoils their integrity. Thaksin owns and runs the PTP or havent you been watching, he tells every minister what to do as well as organizes the reds, this whole sorry saga is simply about him and his efforts to have all charges dropped and his money returned as well as being made pm again. Yingluck is his patsy until he returns, that is why they are attacking him and we have to hope it works. I am still baffled how a wanted criminal can run a political party in Thailand and control what happens in the country and still not have an arrest warrant issued or his passport revoked, do you think it is because he is paying those that organize these things?????? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickymaster Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 She just needs to find her notes from the last censure debate if she can't remember below sentence:. I work hard, I work for the country, I don't favor anybody, I am not a puppet and for the rest you have to talk to the relevant authorities...

GeorgeO Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) "Red-shirt chairwoman Thida Thavornseth said anti-amnesty rallies had lost momentum because of the end of the amnesty push by the government". K. Thida, you would be wise to revisit the terms that are currently being used with regard to the "end of" the Amnesty Bill, terms such as "shelved" and "suspended", the latter directly from the mouth of the puppet PM...!

"or his passport revoked" Being related (by marriage) to the Foreign Minister perhaps helps too ? Nobody mention the word nepotism, in the same sentence, as the current PTP-led coalition-government !

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app And you're supposed to be involved in smart consulting? Latest news on the street! Read all about it! - It would appear that something is afoot anyway. Yesterday Thaksin's daughter flew to London, with 8 oversize and overweight suitcases. Thai Airways check-in staff have put it on Face Book! Perhaps Yingluck should stop trying to order the staff about, it appears the staff don't like it. Seems the other daughter is already in London and rumour has it 'Oak' goes today. So the children are all safely tucked in London for the long haul, what next I wonder? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
