Pheu Thai Party to vote on amnesty report

Somkid" reveals Pheu Thai Party is about to vote to accept the amnesty report, confident that the votes of "Pheu Thai - People" will push it through the parliament. Mr. Somkid Chuekong, the government coalition party coordinator (government whip), mentioned about the House of Representatives meeting on October 24, which had an agenda to vote on the report of the special committee to study the guidelines for enacting the amnesty bill, that the vote on October 24 was only for the observations of the committee, whether the House meeting would approve or not. As for the report itself, there was no need to vote because it was a matter of acknowledgement. However, the government whip did not have a resolution to vote on the observations in the report in any way. Each party should vote according to their own guidelines because it was a matter of differing opinions in each party. As for the Pheu Thai Party, it will have a meeting of MPs on the morning of October 24. It is likely that the Pheu Thai Party will vote to approve the observations of the report of the committee. The reporter asked whether the House would likely approve the amnesty report observations of the committee. Mr. Somkid replied that the votes were close but it should be approved by the House. If the Pheu Thai and Prachachon parties unanimously approve, it would be more than half of the House. It should be passed. If Pheu Thai votes against, it would be strange. However, even if it does not pass on October 24, it is not serious. It does not matter. It would be a loss of face for all parties, not just Pheu Thai. The committee has representatives from every political party. If it does not pass, it means that the committee does not trust its own committee. What was voted on October 24 was only a study report on the amnesty bill, not an amnesty law. However, there was an attempt to make outsiders believe that it was an amnesty law. Some people linked it to the issue of amnesty amendments to Section 112, when in fact, if the report passes the House, it must be sent to the government for further action. It is still unknown whether the government will decide to issue an amnesty bill. If it does, what will the content be? Will it include Section 112 or not? We do not know. But they are stirring up trouble by not taking the report from the 312th Committee. Source: Thai News Agency
