Churin Laksanawisit, Chairman of the Democratic Party Show your position, agree with the opposition, establish a constitutional constitution No participation in sections 1 and 2
On September 23, 2020, journalists reported that the IV Congress (First Annual General Assembly) was held in Parliament to consider urgent matters. Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand Amendment (No.…) BE… (Amending Section 256 and adding Section 15/1)
Jurin Laksanawisit, chairman of the Democratic Party (NACC) raised a debate to support the constitutional amendment For at least two reasons: First, there are many problems that the current constitution is not as democratic as it should be. Both in the meat and in relation to the transitional provisions
Second, although the constitution has passed a referendum But when the time comes and the situation should be resolved. Because even in the constitution itself He opened the way to amend the constitution in section 256
“There should be an amendment to Section 256 on the constitutional amendment process, in which complex amendments have been established. And so many conditions that it could almost be called closed dead doors Make amendments to the constitution almost impossible If we can amend section 256 of the constitution as preliminary At least it will collect the keys that this constitution has locked up to open more democracy in the future. “
Jurin said for proposing a motion to amend the Constitution of the Democratic Party. Under the terms of the Constitution, a constitutional amendment cannot be proposed on its own. That’s because Democrats have only 52 votes. A motion to amend the constitution. You need to use at least one in five sounds, about 100 sounds. That the Democratic Party has not reached
“Therefore, the Democratic Party has to work with the coalition government to propose a motion to amend the constitution. To fulfill the path of parliamentary democracy Using the government as an important mechanism of action “
Jurin said Amendments to the Constitution will be successful. You must meet the conditions specified in Section 256, which clearly states that You must use more than half the votes of the National Assembly, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate. But not the only conditions There is also an additional condition, that is, in a voice beyond the middle. There must be at least 20% of the opposition votes, approximately 48 votes and at least a third of the senators, or approximately 84 votes.
Also, after the approval of the constitution, the House had to be brought to a referendum to ask the people once again, so parliamentary cooperation was sorely needed. If either party is the voice of the coalition government It is the voice of the opposition coalition OR it is the voice of a senator Lack, insufficient condition Any amendment to the constitution could not be successful.
Jurin said Considering the draft constitutional amendments he supported the coalition’s constitutional amendment for the first reason: This draft was an amendment to Article 256, just as the Democrats had previously done. Before the decision to join the government Y has been a booth from the beginning
Second, a draft coalition government requires the establishment of a Senate to draft a new constitution.
Third, if a senator was established during the draft, Democrats will participate as a political party. Presenting various issues for senators’ consideration and participating in making helpful comments as practitioners AND constitutional users
Jurin said Democrats will present issues that will make the new constitution more democratic. Such as rights, personal freedoms, community rights or the rights of the underprivileged. Issue of decentralization The issue of managing corruption to be more effective The electoral system should be reviewed. In order not to give rise to the results of the electoral reward until generating political instability
“It is important to the power of the Senate. I support the presence of a Senate because it is imperative to have a Senate. But if senators are not directly elected, the Senate should have limited power and role. “
Jurin concluded that he agreed to the draft constitution of the coalition government. Because this draft amendment to the constitution does not touch or translate that it does not amend section 1 and section 2
“This is all my point of view. It is the point of view of the Democratic Party. The Democrats and I have a clear resolution on the draft constitutional amendment of the coalition government and the opposition party. With similar principles.”
