Anti-government demonstrations Continued discussions in parliament on Thai constitutional amendment September 23, 18:11
As young people continue to protest against the government in Thailand, discussions began in parliament on the 23rd about a constitutional amendment that is one of the demands of young people.
A group of young people who are continuing large-scale anti-government demonstrations in Thailand are calling for the dissolution of parliament, constitutional amendment, and monarchy reform.
Of these, Prime Minister Prayut showed a positive attitude toward constitutional amendment, and the ruling and opposition parties have shown multiple amendments, and in response to this, discussions on how to select members of the conference to consider the amendment contents in the parliament from the 23rd started.
In response to the ruling and opposition parties' proposals, a group of young people have submitted their own proposals requesting a wide range of constitutional amendments, including monarchy reforms, with signatures for 100,000 people. Not up.
In response, a group opposed to the constitutional amendment visited Congress on the 23rd and submitted a request to maintain the current constitution with the signatures of about 130,000 people.
The group was in a position to support the Prayut administration and defend the royal family, and the group's representatives restrained young people seeking monarchy reform, complaining that "those who criticize the royal family just want to change the constitution."
One of the supporters also said, "We are benefiting from the current constitution. We do not feel the need to change."
On the 24th, the parliament will vote on how to proceed with the revision and the direction of discussions, but there are temperature differences within the ruling and opposition parties, and the focus will be on how far the revision movement will take off.
