Prime Minister Emphasizes Constitutional Amendments for Democracy and People.

Bangkok: The Prime Minister insists on amending the constitution for democracy and the people. The Prime Minister is ready to listen to the opposition's issue of amending the constitution, admitting that it is one of the Pheu Thai Party's campaign policies, insisting that amending the constitution is for democracy and the people, but the process must be carefully considered, fearing a lawsuit along the way. According to Thai News Agency, Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, spoke about the case of Mr. Parit Wacharasindhu, a party-list MP for the Prachachon Party, who requested to discuss the amendment of the constitution, saying that she was willing to listen. If there was anything, a discussion committee would have to be set up or an official discussion would have to be held. As for whether there had been a letter to meet with the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister said that there had not been any. She had first learned from the media that there had been contact, and she did not mind if there was a meeting. As for concerns that the constitution will not be amended in time during this government, the Prime Minister said that what can be done must be done correctly because if the time period is too long, problems may arise later. Since being here, I have learned about the many problems. If the process is rushed too much, not only will there be no results, but there may also be lawsuits along the way. Therefore, we must help each other look at the details. However, the government must listen to all opinions and discuss the time frame for how to proceed because the Pheu Thai Party has been campaigning since then. However, there must be discussions and no touching on Sections 1 and 2 is something that all government parties agree on. As for the content of the constitution, which issues are the most problematic, requiring amendment, the Prime Minister said that asking such questions would open up debate, but of course, amending the constitution must be done to facilitate democracy and the people as much as possible.
