Suchart hits back at Sondhi over protests and economy

Suchart has strongly responded to Sondhi's political mobilization efforts, stating explicitly that organizing protests is far from a form of entertainment and will only drag the country backward by two decades. He firmly reiterated that the current administration came to power through legitimate democratic elections.

Addressing the voter base distribution, Suchart pointed out that Bhumjaithai Party holds 5,200,000 supporters, compared to 8.1 million for the People's Party and 4.6 million for Pheu Thai. He questioned the grievances raised by the dissenting minority, emphasizing that while absolute consensus is impossible, society must operate under the rule of law and respect majority rule in parliament.

Furthermore, Suchart highlighted that the election concluded only a few months ago, and the government faces no accusations of corruption or severe administrative malpractice. The primary concern, he argued, lies in the potential fallout for the overall investment climate within the country.

"The work today must be divided into two matters: 1. Elections based on democratic principles with a majority to form a government. 2. The election has just concluded a few months ago, alongside the formation of the government which we undertake every single day."

On the economic front, Suchart cautioned that the global economy is resetting post-COVID-19, during which Thailand gained a competitive advantage by recovering faster than its neighbors. Injecting domestic political dissatisfaction into public protests threatens to undermine the efforts made by the Prime Minister and ministers in attracting foreign investments.
