On September 24, Thailand Prime Minister Petuntan presided over a regular cabinet meeting on the same day, and summarized and explained the relevant matters of the meeting after the meeting.
It is understood that three important matters were discussed at the meeting that day. First, the Cabinet meeting approved the reduction of electricity bills for people in flood-affected areas from September to October, proposed by the Ministry of Home Affairs of Thailand; The second is to approve the suspension of debt payments to small debtors by the Ministry of Finance of Thailand and the potential to develop and restore debtors of the Agricultural Cooperative Bank of Thailand (BAAC); The third is to order Thailand's Ministry of Digital Economy and Society and other relevant departments and agencies to study the use of government applications in emergency situations.
On this occasion, a media reporter asked Petuntan about his position on the matter of "amending the Constitution". However, it is understood that because this matter is relatively sensitive and touches the interests of many parties, the news about the constitutional amendment has attracted much attention in Thailand society in recent days; The Pheu Thai Party has said that it will invite the coalition parties to discuss the matter, but the leader of the important coalition party, the Pride Party, Anutin, expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the matter, saying that his party would never approve of it.
In this regard, Petuntan told reporters that he hoped that the media would not raise such issues of "sowing discord", and many things were communicated and discussed with ministers and party leaders behind the scenes; And the immediate priority is to solve the problems of the population, whether it is flooding or stimulating the economy. Therefore, she also wanted to say that if the government is stable and the politics are stable, then the country can also be stable.
