As for whether you want to have your political rights also removed or not? not their own needs But will it be possible to get there? It is a provision of the law. It depends on the method of investigat ion and evidence collection. Implementation according to the authority and duties of the NACC Due to the complete decision of the Constitutional Court Confirming that the channel for amending the law has not been closed. But operations must follow legislative guidelines. Mr. Teerayuth mentioned that the Kaew Klai Party had removed the policy to amend Section 112 from the party's page, saying that it was following the court's order. It is believed that the party's legal department should have already recommended this matter. I don't want to intrude. But I think it's a good thing. As for this matter, will the punishment of the act be reduced or not? It is the duty of various organizations to examine and collect evidence for consideration. It is known that Mr. Chaithawat Tulathon, leader of the Kaew Klai Party, has given orders. Be prepared to collect evidence to fight the case. which is believed to have some way As for the opinion of Mr. Piyabutr Saengkanokkul, leader of the progressive group Former secretary -general of the Future Forward Party I don't agree that the Progressive Party has removed the said policy. Stating that it was empty and wasted, Mr. Teerayuth said it was Mr. Piyabutr's personal opinion. It is an individual matter. But to create a political party, there must be will. in protecting and upholding the law The Constitution stipulates that the decisions of the Constitutional Court are binding on all organizations. The decision must be listened to and acted upon. Therefore, the fact that the party has advanced to implement the court's decision with respect is considered respect for the law. As for some leaders expressing their opinion that the policy to amend Section 112 was removed from the page but was hidden inside. And it can be brought up for action at any time. Mr. Teerayut said that if he actually did so, it would still be in accordance with the Constitutional Court's decision that there was a hidden matter.
