Bangkok: Anusorn Iamsaard, a party-list MP for the Pheu Thai Party, has raised pressing questions regarding the timing of a crackdown on illegal capital and scammers, urging those who created the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to clarify the situation. Anusorn's remarks come in the context of potential political maneuvers by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, who may consider dissolving Parliament if faced with a no-confidence motion from opposition parties.
According to Thai News Agency, Anusorn expressed concerns over Prime Minister Anutin potentially dissolving Parliament to avoid a no-confidence debate, a scenario that could lead to further political uncertainty in the country. He emphasized the implications of such a move, suggesting it would mean Anutin might be intentionally disregarding the MOA with support parties, particularly concerning constitutional amendments. Anusorn questioned whether support party leaders were aware of being deceived or if they had willingly accepted the political arrangement from the beginning.
Anusorn highlighted the challenges faced by the current minority government, pointing out that the arrangement has not resulted in any constitutional amendments or a referendum. He noted the public's growing awareness of the political dynamics, including Senate collusion and the handling of the Khao Kradong cases. Anusorn criticized the minority government's inability to address the grey capital problem or suppress scammers effectively, questioning how long it would take to tackle these issues.
The Pheu Thai Party, Anusorn stated, is prepared to pursue a no-confidence debate against the minority government. He warned that if the government uses this as a pretext to dissolve Parliament and evade accountability, the supporters of the current political arrangement would have to answer to the public. "The public has seen it all. This deal benefits no one except those at the negotiating table," Anusorn concluded.
