Når nå Prayuth er den "valgte" statsministeren og ikke lenger leder av juntastyre er også mange av de lovene som ble innført og som kneblet motstandere av juntaen borte. Dette ser ut til å medføre at mange nå endelig tør snakke ut og nå kommer det uttalelser mot Prayuth som de ikke har våget. Det er nok mye uenigheter som vil komme frem etterhvert. Når regimet ikke lenger kan tie i hjel motstanden så kan det bli spennende å se utviklingen innen politikken.
PARLIAMENT’S PM SESSION DESCENDS INTO PRAYUTH CENSURE DEBATE
The first seven hours of parliament’s debate on Wednesday turned out to be the first de facto censure debate against junta chairman Prayuth Chan-ocha’s regime in years.
MPs and Senators assembled at a makeshift parliament in a rented auditorium to decide on the country’s next prime minister. Much of the debate, however, was spent arguing over whether Prayuth – who dissolved the last elected parliament in the 2014 coup – is a leader who brought peace to Thailand, or a usurper ill-suited to serve another term as the prime minister.
“Prayuth ruled by his own law, because there was no rule of law. Prayuth destroyed the rights and liberty of the Thai people.”
Another Pheu Thai MP went as far as to accuse Prayuth of committing treason when he seized power in 2014.
“Prayuth committed treason. He is the leader of those who overthrew the constitution,” Suthin Klangsaeng thundered. “Naming him prime minister is like making someone who set fire to a temple the abbot of that temple.”
