Rames’ counters the people, saying that joining the government is not the end of dignity, emphasizing that the Democrats do not discriminate against the people and are ready to make the proposed policies successful.
Mr. Rames Rattanachaweng, former member of the House of Representatives of the Democrat Party, spoke about the case of the MPs of the People’s Party (P.P.P.) referring to the Democrat Party in the joint parliamentary meeting, the agenda of the government’s policy statement, regarding the words in protesting discrimination in the South, saying that the Democrat Party’s joining the government, he believes that when it is a party resolution, it is the right of the party’s executive committee and MPs to vote. However, he himself has emphasized that the word joining the government is not the end of the party’s dignity that has been built throughout the past.
However, when the MPs of the Prachachon Party debated, if you listened, you would know that they were referring to the Democrat Party. The deba
ters should have spoken with better information, especially about the discrimination in the Thaksin Shinawatra government. How did the politicians at that time treat the people in the provinces that did not vote for the Thai Rak Thai Party? How was there harassment and discrimination, especially in the South? How did this become a policy of discrimination? The provinces that did not vote for them should wait first. Only the provinces that voted for the party’s MPs would be developed. The discrimination is a fact that has occurred. The wounds that were created with the people will never be forgotten, especially the people of the South.
Mr. Rames continued that the mention of joining the government in order to hope for a budget to go to the South could not be answered in response to the Democrat Party ministers, but he believed that being a Democrat, the work does not only aim to develop any one province or region. The party has never discriminated against the people. And as it appeared in the news, the Democr
at Party presented the push for issues of land for farming and water, the environment, decentralization, and development of sub-district health promotion hospitals, which are party policies that have been successfully implemented. He believed that the party must do as proposed and include them in government policy. And remember that the Democrat Party has honor, dignity, and its value does not end with the word joining the government.
