Bangkok: "Pitha" is confident that there is no legal issue against "44 MPs who signed up to amend Section 112". He said he was aware that some parties wanted party members to go further to negotiate for the minister's chair, pointing out that the Election Commission submitted The Constitutional Court petition is not legal. look at the proportion of fault Just a warning to stop the action is enough. It should not be dragged to the 3rd Budget Committee. at the new future building Progressive Party Office, Mr. Pitha Limjaroenrat List of MPs and the Chairman of Advisors to the Leader of the Forward Party Gave an interview after announcing the 9-points of the Forward Party's fight in the case of overthrowing the government, expressing confidence in the defense that the 44 MPs who signed up to amend the Criminal Code, Section 112, will not all be considered. or be considered on a case-by-case basis that he is confident that all points are equal Because every point is like a checkpoint and a ladder that will be use d to fight. Since the jurisdiction of the court to the proportion of punishment of party executive committee members But we still believe that the intentions and actions of the MPs in signing the law amendment It is not the overthrow of the government. and cannot be hostile Including various actions Whether it is about being an insurance agent The fact that there are members and MPs who are accused of crimes against Section 112, expressing the issue of amending the Code, Section 112, is considered a general action. Every action is an individual matter that is gathered together. It didn't come from a party resolution. It is not a legal entity. But it is an individual matter. There was no opinion coming from the party's executive committee. Emphasize that a distinction must be made between natural persons and juristic persons. The only thing that has come out according to the party's resolution is to include it as a campaign policy. But it's not hostile. Because the Election Commission (EC) itself allows it, there is no need to use the level of an intelligent person. or the same level as when used to dissolve the Thai Raksa Chart Party and there was no warning letter and write down questions about the origins of the policy as other parties have. Mr. Pitha confirmed that there was neither intention nor intent. And there is no legal matter that can criminalize all 44 people for signing a law amendment that was not submitted to parliament. Therefore, there is no urgency to take drastic measures. As for the case where it is stated that the Constitutional Court does not have the authority to consider that This is because Section 210 of the Constitution clearly specifies only 3 specific powers and duties, unlike ordinary courts. Except in cases where there is no provision in the Constitution. then use the Organic Act on constitutional procedures. which is not a source of authority beyond that Nowhere does it say that the Constitutional Court has the power to dissolve parties. Has the power to disqualify Has the power to determine the length of time for banning politicians, etc. When asked what is the evidence or disproof that can prove that the party had no intention from the beginning to overthrow the government, Mr. Pitha said that the 9 points mentioned above have equal weight in the fight. As for the intention, we tried to prove and say it. Consistently, we still have feelings. Maintaining royal power and honoring His Majesty is higher than politics. It doesn't make the distance with the people any wider. And it is not a political tool to destroy each other. As for the prediction of the timeline for the ruling date, Mr. Pitha said that it would have to be at the discretion of the court. The other party may not be able to intervene. If the court agrees that the two cases are not related, There should be an opportunity for investigation and preparation of witnesses. The Progressive Party has prepared more than 10 experts on this matter but cannot reveal them. And if the court sees that the consideration in this case T here are charges and severe penalties. Must use stricter standards than in previous cases. It should be possible to give time and allow the investigation of witnesses. It will probably take some time for the doubt to end. In this regard, the petition specifies the period of time during which the rights of all three executive committee members of the Progressive Party will be disqualified. He thinks that the proportion of the punishment and the time of the accusation should be consistent. Therefore, it should not be dragged to the third party executive committee, who was born only 6 months ago. As for the dissolution of the party, what will the effect be? Mr. Pitha said, 'It will be the dissolution of 2 parties in 5 years and the dissolution of 5 times in 20 years. He does not dare to guess. Or what impact do you think it will have on Thailand? or Thai politics Even though the economy, politics and Thai society are this fragile. I don't want it to get to that point.' Mr. Pitha still views the preservation o f democracy. and a valuable and important political party system Be a representative and be the voice of the people. If it's not the end, it's not severe, it's not sudden, to the point where there is no way to solve it. He thinks that what happened in the 3/2567 case was a warning to stop the action. It should be proportionate enough. It is not necessary to dissolve the party. There is no need to deprive people of political rights. But it will probably have an impact on the country's confidence. democracy and political parties This kind of thing happens so often that it's not normal. Mr. Pitha emphasizes that all 44 people have good intentions. They may not all be perfect. But it is considered a political resource. There may be some mistakes, some right, but of course there are still attempts. Considered to be new blood in politics Spare sheet part If the party is dissolved, Mr. Pitha emphasized that we are mainly preparing to fight the case. But of course you have to be prepared for every situation. As for the confidence among party members that if the party dissolves Will the party's MPs move to another party? Mr. Pitha said that, of course, he still feels that the party's work Both flow and time coexist. There is unity. There is solidarity. Including external factors such as shared experiences in past elections. Equal to being a cobra is 100% political suicide. You have no right to return to being an MP. Not careless, but not worried. Because there are lessons both outside and inside. At the same time we must listen. But I still don't believe in things. or incoming information Requires verification 'I am not so naive as not to know that there may be some parties that want more MP quotas to go to the deputy minister. He was aware of these things. But you are still confident in your own MP and are not so credulous that when you see and feel that there is bias or bias towards that MP, you must give your own party members a chance to presume innocence first. Believe in their system and ideology'. Source: Thai News Agency
