"Sittorn" sees the government "Srettha 1" pushing the digital wallet policy without problems, with some of the central budget and the remaining budget indicating that it is a temporary project. The new government cannot move much. The budget is already framed. Introducing the battle core. Not necessarily all grade-A ministries. but to link relevant ministries to push policies and create results
Mr. Satitorn Thananithichot, Director of Innovation for Democracy Office King Prajadhipok's Institute Mentioned the overall picture of the government "Settha 1", which was a coalition government and merged with the former government. who announced to push forward the digital wallet policy that the digital wallet policy It's not difficult to push because it's an immediate project. which uses the central budget and some of the rest of the budget to mix together should be able to act quickly And being an ad hoc policy will make people feel that the government comes in and can drive the policy straight away. But the next question is what to do after that because this policy will fully stimulate the economy for 6 months.
When asked if there should be no problem with the budget and the coalition government should have no problem in driving this policy as well or not, Mr. Satitorn said yes because he understood that the budget used to drive this policy would mostly be spent on the central budget. and does not affect other ministries that go with the coalition government which the new government cannot move much Because the budget is already set for the first year of work. Therefore, we need to look at the 2025 budget to see how the Pheu Thai Party and the coalition parties will allocate and frame the budget to be able to drive the main policies of the Pheu Thai Party.
As for many people looking at where to get the budget from in this economic situation, Mr. Satitorn said that normally the budget may not be very attached. But it's about spending and being scrutinized. which the joint government, especially the former ruling party that has broken the poles Therefore, using the budget To make the policies of the Pheu Thai Party, there should be no problem in terms of whether there will be objections about whether the budget is used correctly or not. Which should be able to operate and the majority of this government is quite 300 votes strong.
When asked whether it was good for the Pheu Thai Party and the coalition government or not for the policy Digital wallet Mr. Satitorn said that in the short term it is so. Because the government was set up in a situation where many people were dissatisfied because there were cross-polarities hand in hand. The appearance that people feel that the old government has merged with the Pheu Thai Party The face of the minister might be similar or not. Therefore, to push any policy away To be able to see immediate results quickly will be able to reduce these resistance currents, which is a good thing. and emphasized that in the short term it may be beneficial, but the next thing to think about is that in addition to the digital wallet policy There are other policies that the Pheu Thai Party has to prove itself against the stakes of setting up a cross-polar government. which should be a big problem
The part with the cabinet "Srettha 1" that Mr. Srettha Thavisin will hold the position of Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Build confidence or will it be possible or not? Minister of Finance And the image of the finance minister has an image of an executive who understands finances. But Thailand's economic system is not entirely driven by the Ministry of Finance. There are other ministries as a component as well. which can be seen that many ministries are important to driving the economy And take care of the lives of people who may go to the quota of the coalition government. Which depends on the skill of Mr. Srettha how well he can work with ministers from other coalition parties Including pushing policies that affect the stomach economy. Because when it comes to the economy of the mouth, people will expect a lot from the Pheu Thai Party.
As for the position of Minister of Energy, which now appears in the list of Mr. Supattanapong Phanmeechaow, the former Minister of Energy. In the quota of the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party, Mr. Satitorn said that the Ministry of Energy whether to change the name of the minister or not But the quota is still with the same party. The trend is probably Is someone who has a network connection under the original affiliation. But the image would be difficult to solve. at the prime minister And the government of the Pheu Thai Party must make people feel as little resistance as possible. And we need to look for policies that can help reduce the energy burden on the people as soon as possible, which may help reduce the flow, in addition to placing people and proposing a set of policies. Specific duties that make people feel that the burden of energy causes Getting help and taking care can heal the feeling.
When asked about the current criticism that the new government but the Cabinet is almost the same page Just change the government leader to Pheu Thai Party, Mr. Satitorn said that this image may be attached. and when the ruling coalition used to be the former government, an important leader would like to sit in the ministerial position, at least half of them would repeat their faces What may help is that may have to recite a spell like Mr. Chatchart Sitthiphan, Governor of Bangkok, "work, work, work" may help. Assessment of faces cannot be changed. But behavior may change more.
As for grade-A ministries that are usually overseen by the leading party forming a government, But this time there is news that Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of Bhumjaithai Party Will sitting in the position of Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, will it be a waste of the temple or not? But in terms of administration, if it is to be efficient, answer the questions, make the people feel that the government has done something in a timely manner. It is more than a ministry tie-in that comes as a package. “If focusing on society, take the Ministry of Social Affairs. There may be grade A, grade B, grade C come together and push integrated policies for each ministry to play its own role. will help better As for the type to equalize the Ministry of Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, it may cause the working style to be inflexible enough. is in a state of necessity It's normal to have to share grade A ministries with some friends. and hold it as a policy set This may help to not worry too much, for example: A large ministry must have both a minister and a deputy minister. to share the work within And try to keep agencies under that ministry that can work together with the ministry that the Pheu Thai Party is a minister as possible. It will be enough to create a set of policies that make you feel that there have been some changes from the previous government,” said Mr. Satitorn.
