The head of the government of Thailand Paetongtarn Shinatra has been relieved of her office for the time being. The Constitutional Court in Bangkok said on Tuesday that the measure was due to his judgment on his behavior in the border conflict with Cambodia. Until then, a few weeks or months can pass.
A group of conservative senators had drawn before the Constitutional Court. They throw Paetongtarn about the ethical rules for government members.
Regional army chef referred to as the “opponent”
The head of the government has been under enormous pressure since a phone call between her and the former head of Cambodia. The conversation was mainly about the continuous border conflict between the two countries. Paetongtarn spoke their SEN, who was head of the government in Cambodia until 2023 and still has a lot of influence in the neighboring country, on the phone call as an “uncle” and described the regional army leader in the Thai border region as his opponent. This statement caused criticism, among other things.
The conservative Bhumjaithai party then left the government, which has since had only a Wafer-Dunne majority. The calls to the resignation of Paetongtarn then became louder. During the weekend, thousands of people in Bangkok protested against the head of the government.
Father was also a prime minister – and was powerless
The government crisis is the youngest in a number of crises. Thai politics had two decades of chronic instability, in which there were repeatedly crucesting, street protests and resulting judicial decisions. This is also responsible for the long -term power struggle of the army and the Royal Spraying location against the influence of progressive parties in the country. Paetongtarn Shinatra is the daughter of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinwatra, who was designed by the army in 2006 after five years.
