Surin, "Phoomtham" defends "Ung Ink" from being heavily criticized. Asked again, why can't they touch the "Bank of Thailand"? They've made mistakes in the past. Invest in protecting the baht Until the Tom Yum Kung crisis occurred in 1997, criticizing Sirikanya, don't keep imagining. Mr. Phumtham Wechayachai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Referring to the case of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, leader of the Pheu Thai Party, being criticized after speaking at a Pheu Thai Party meeting in the manner that the Bank of Thailand was an obstacle to fiscal management measures. Personally, I consider it normal. Being the leader of a political party In terms of being a Thai citizen able to criticize and make recommendations or express opinions to inspect all institutional and organizational organizations. I personally believe that What Ung Ink has spoken out and been criticized for is It is a criticism that is not factual. What Ung Ink said was a matter of criticizing the Bank of Thailand. In the matt er of refusing to adjust policy interest rates which has an impact on people's lives and saw what Aung Ink said I didn't do anything wrong. And it's not an accusation. Why can't children criticize the National Bank or the Bank of Thailand? 'Every Thai citizen is able to criticize and debate. Have the right to criticize All government agencies The Bank of Thailand is one of the government agencies. Why criticize the National Bank? No, this is my question. How is the National Bank different from other organizations? Why can't you criticize? In the past, the Bank of Thailand has not made any mistakes. But I have made mistakes before in 1997 when the Tom Yum Kung crisis occurred. I believe that people still remember. The decision of the National Bank at that time That is, throwing money into the market to fight to maintain the standard of the baht. In the end, a lot of things went bankrupt. There was a Tom Yum Kung crisis. and economic loss It is proof that the National Bank can be wrong.' The view that does no t correspond to the facts This is natural. It's not anything that's damaged. Consider it a lesson. Have you ever done anything that was damaging to the country? which is considered severe damage Therefore, the fact that such an event occurred If we are unable to say Can't do that, can't do this. To be just one piece of information to give you an idea. I believe that this type of criticism can be done. What Miss Pae Thongthan It was done at the Pheu Thai Party meeting. in front of party members Party Executive Committee and politicians It is an action according to duty. which is a political party As a natural person That can be done, I don't see where there is a mistake. 'I think this is not a matter. We come to conflict with Bank of Thailand To the point of taking life or death But personally, I would like to say why the National Bank Can't be criticized or touched. Because I believe that critics can touch me. Many people have come out and said that they don't do it in foreign countries. He said that he had criticized everything. Again, the Bank of Thailand during the period of General Prayut's government It is necessary to spend money in times of crisis. causing the country to have a huge trade deficit which General Prayut Use this method to solve the problem. Why don't you criticize it? Just as this government has been criticized, today the government has fully implemented fiscal measures. in treating and solving problems in order for it to emerge from the crisis But financial measures do not go together. Therefore this is an offer. And many times we have been patient in offering to understand these issues. And this point does not mean that If we are not satisfied, we will adjust. or disconnect the national bank as is reported in the news I want you to start with the facts. I don't want you to start from your imagination. The imagination can think of all kinds of things. If looking at the facts If over there it says it's a crisis, this way it says it's not a crisis. The best way is to give Governor of the Na tional Bank And the Board of Directors of the Bank of Thailand must go to the market and ask farmers and ask consumers. Go ask everyone if they are in trouble. Ask the sellers if they are in trouble or not. You will know whether suffering really exists or not. and while controlling financial measures It will make it correct and consistent. with fiscal measures in order to help solve the country's crisis As for the case of Ms. Sirikanya Tansakul, MP, the party moves forward as the opposition. who came out to say that Pheu Thai Party has an idea to amend the Bank of Thailand Act as well. For independence, Mr. Phumtham stated that Ms. Sirikanya has entered politics for the second time and must understand that Managing all problems Must start from reality Must see reality It's not a continuous imagination. If you imagine that there will be like this Not a good politician To be able to understand and solve the country's problems, I think that Ms. Sirikanya must go back and reconsider. Will I be able to do what I thought? And try asking yourself, if the Bank of Thailand has a problem, will the Kaewkai Party be able to prove it or offer an opinion that is the correct solution? Or that he couldn't propose and let it happen haphazardly like this? Let's speak clearly about the correct way to do it. Source: Thai News Agency
