While I may no longer have the opportunity to hold the position of Thai Prime Minister, I would like to affirm that I will never abandon my responsibility to the people, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the Thai Prime Minister who has been suspended, said at the Pheu Thai party party party party on the evening of July 22 in Bangkok.
The Nation reported that speaking as Chairwoman of the Pheu Thai Party, Ms. Paetongtarn thanked her partners in the alliance for supporting the government during nearly a year of her tenure as Prime Minister. A strong government will have more opportunities to do useful things for the people, she said.
Emphasizing the theme "Solidarity for Thailand: Protecting sovereignty, solving problems for the people", she called on the parties to continue to unite, considering this a strength to overcome obstacles, protect national interests and national sovereignty.
In her current position as Minister of Culture, she affirmed that she will not back down and is still actively seeking practical ways to serve the people, believing that sense of responsibility also spreads throughout the alliance.
Ms. Paetongtarn expressed her confidence in the goodwill of the cabinet members after the recent government reform. She also emphasized the government's commitment to peaceful solutions, while protecting the lives of the people and military forces of Thailand.
The event on the evening of July 22 at Eastin Grand Phayathai Hotel (Bangkok) was an annual party of the Pheu Thai Party, gathering many lawmakers and leaders of the parties in the alliance, to strengthen the spirit of solidarity. This is also the first meeting since Bhumjaithai's party officially withdrew from the ruling coalition.
Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra - Paetongtarn's father - was also present and gave a speech calling on the alliance to continue to stick together despite the unstable political context.
We must ensure that National Assembly sessions are not delayed. Time management must be closely coordinated, said Mr. Thaksin. He emphasized that although the government has an advantage after restructuring, the alliance still needs to make further efforts to maintain stability and efficiency in legislative activities.
When asked on the sidelines of the event if it would affect the Party's internal affairs, Mr. Thaksin did not comment, only saying briefly: "If you meet political parties, of course it's about politics."
