Somchai Wongsawat met a group of yellow shirts to drive and fall into the Prime Minister’s chair on December 2, 2008. 12 years ago, a mob was born, the People’s Party shouted “Prayut” and the Constitutional Court decided to become the first Minister. On December 2 it seems that the wheel of history jokes again.
Like the wheel of political history, Thailand will play a joke again later.Constitutional courtSet December 2 as the judgment day thatGeneral Prayut Chan-o-cha Will it be released from the First President? In the case of residing in the military camp after retirement That may fall into any other benefit prohibited by the constitution That may result in the termination of ministerial qualifications
As for the merits of this case, it is noteworthy because no matter how it is decided, it will be the norm in the future. It is also interesting to note that the political history of December 2 as well, since 12 years ago December 2 was the day the Prime Minister appointed ‘Somchai Wongsawat‘ Falling from the prime minister’s chair
Look back at Thailand in 2008, most of the year there were demonstrations to oust the government of the People’s Power Party. ‘Popular Alliance for Democracy‘ At that time there was both the taking of the Government House. Don Muang Airport AND Suvarnabhumi Airport
‘Somchai Wongsawat‘ He is reputed to be the prime minister who never worked in Government House. And the mafia opposed the demonstration lasted almost half a year, although it generated a certain level of political pressure. But it still has no effect ‘Somchai‘ Withdraw But meanwhile, many parties are attentive to cases of electoral corruption of the party of popular power that have caused ‘Yongyut Tiyaphairat‘ Executive Director, The Don PartyRed cardWith the ruling of the Supreme Court, Chamber of Electoral Cases, and had to leave the position of President of Parliament
The result of the red card in that case led to an extension to the dissolution of the political parties. The action of both the Electoral Commission and the Attorney General took a long time. Until the end, the Attorney General’s Office filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court to dissolve the Popular Power Party.
At the time, there was still no timetable. Clearly, how long will the Constitutional Court process take? And I don’t even expect December 2 to be judgment day. Since the Constitutional Court has set a date as the closing date of the case But it turned out that no representative of the People’s Power Party came to close the case, simply ‘Banharn Silpa-archa‘ Party Leader of the Thai Nation and ‘Anongwan Thepsutin‘ Matchimathipatai party leader Who came forward to dissolve the party as well as to announce the closure of the case
Appointments for the closing announcement in the morning and hearing of the decision in the afternoon. It was a shock to the representatives of the two political parties who went to court enough. Many left the courtroom waiting for a decision in the afternoon, gathered to chat and learn about the future to come.
Political tensions are not the only ruling of the Constitutional Court. Because the pressure outside the Constitutional Court is just as strong. At that time, pro-government protests began to accumulate to pressure the Constitutional Court. Originally, the Constitutional Court will decide the case at the Constitutional Court Office in Phahurat. But when the off-court situation started to look stronger Causing the need to move the case closure location to the Administrative Court Office instead Along with tight security
‘Constitutional court‘ It has become a political target and has come under heavy attack because in 2008 the Constitutional Court ruled in two cases that affected the government. ‘Samak Sundaravej‘ AND 2. The decision that the Thailand-Cambodia Joint Declaration encouraging Cambodia to register Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site is a treaty under article 190, paragraph two, of the Constitution, which must be approved by the Assembly. National.
When it comes to the case of the party of popular power Held on December 2, before the Constitutional Court begins to read the sentence Judicial branch of the Constitutional Court You must inform the person who attended the official hearing that “The work on the court is independent, there is no interference or pressure on the court. That the court will decide in accordance with the provisions of the constitution provided And in this situation of the country A judicial decision will give rise to people who agree and disagree. But I would like all parties to believe and accept the failures of the legal regime. “ It is not often that the Constitutional Court expresses itself in this way.
The rulings of the Constitutional Court in the People’s Power Party case consisted of three issues; It took 1 to 2 hours to read, the ruling ended with two important conclusions: the dissolution of the People’s Power Party and the revocation of the election of the executive director of the People’s Power Party.
The sentences made ‘Somchai Wongsawat‘ As party leader you must vacate office and terminate the prime minister’s term. That he never entered the government house. And later, the PAD leaders announced the end of the rally on December 3.
Today the situation of ‘General Prayut Chan-o-cha‘ They are significantly similar and different to former Prime Minister Somchai Especially in the face of political pressure from protesters as well But will the conclusion end the same or not? Thais will see the answer simultaneously on December 2.
