Chuan Leekpai, party-list MP, Democrat Party, as a former speaker of the parliament, looks at the conflict, hijacking “the Speaker of the House”, because the 1st-2nd party “Moving Forward – Pheu Thai” is on the same side. I believe that everyone cooperates regardless of which side the President of the Council is from, even if the years are less and less.
On June 23, 2023, Mr. Chuan Leekpai as a party-list MP Democrat Traveled to report as an MP to the parliament, ready to answer questions with the media about the inconsistency of the position of Speaker of the House of Representatives. between the Pheu Thai Party and the Progressive Party said that there should be no problem or chaos In general, government Majority and minority parties Will be on different sides, but this time the party that got the 1st and 2nd place points is on the same side. Therefore, there is a problem of competing for positions.
Chuan also confirmed that no one has an advantage or disadvantage in administering the law. because the president must be neutral Except for some presidents in the past who got into trouble because he listened to the government’s orders to do the wrong thing.
When asked if the concern of the Progressive Party is fear of the Speaker of the House will not include an agenda for amending Section 112 of the Criminal Code. Mr. Chuan clarified that this part It belonged to Mr. Suchart Tancharoen, former 1st Deputy Speaker of the House, who considered the agenda, which at that time had an opinion that The draft amendment may be contrary to the constitution, section 6, therefore returning it back to be amended But the mover doesn’t solve. therefore not packed in which he saw that Mr. Suchart had carefully diagnosed That’s the only law. But other laws have no problem. Even though it is a law from the public sector The council took good care of it. and even faster
Mr. Chuan also looked at the duties of the chairman of the council. If it comes from the far-reaching party that it can’t be said first. It is up to the discretion of parliamentary officials whether they can push for the amendment of section 112 or not and must see who proposed it. If the government proposes The council will consider because the government must use the law as an administrative tool
When asked about the readiness to serve as Speaker of the Council between older people And the new generation Mr. Chuan said that no matter who they are, they must cooperate. Help the president of the council work because above all is to maintain the system legislative branch Whether it’s an old model or a new model, I believe that everyone will cooperate.
In the case of nominating a party outsider to be the chairman of the council According to the etiquette of the meeting, Mr. Chuan stated that during the 2019 election, the Democratic Party won the position of Speaker of the House. Even though he was ranked 4-5, he was asked to assume the position of the council president. without cutting the quota for the ministerial chair which at first he refused But other coalition parties are not involved, but have to admit that Last time there were a lot of new members coming in. who are not familiar with the rules and regulations Therefore, we must support each other as the chairman of the council. and Vice President
“I think the conflicts It’s not the main thing, but the important thing is to make the legislative system can walk normally We have been through 4 years of experience. We have learned quite a few things. From now on, these things would gradually progressively better”
