"#Thaksin, 74, was facing an eight-year prison sentence for various cases including abuse of power. The billionaire former leader returned from exile on a private jet last week, on the same day his party, #PheuThai, took office as part of a controversial coalition with its longstanding military-royalist opponents."

Just another crook taking over, after the main crook returned home and made a deal with the uniformed crooks.
The only thing which can avoid this banana-republic become a real dictatorship, although already corrupt to the core, are the brave students and their leaders.

This feels really wrong, it's the kind of move that can end up cracking a nation in two.

After blocking the progressive Move Forward Party, which won a May election, from power, the conservative & pro-military parties struck a pact with Srettha and #PheuThai to form a government in #SoutheastAsia’s second-largest economy. #TootSEA #Thailand

The Thaksin clan has always been interested in one thing, and one thing alone.... power.
They proved again and again to be as corrupt as the next one.

With Pheu Thai seeking to form a new alliance without #MoveForward though, this isn't going to end well.

"#PheuThai, the latest incarnation of a party founded by former telecommunications tycoon #ThaksinShinawatra, came second in the polls and is hoping to get its candidate elected prime minister to form a government." #Thailand #Politics

Paetongtarn #Shinawatra (#PheuThai|Centro populista anti-militarista): “Parteciperò alle primarie del partito, previste per il 12 Maggio.”

Nota: Paetongtarn è l’ultima figlia dell’ex Primo Ministro Thaksin, il cui governo è stato rovesciato a causa di un colpo di Stato dell’esercito.
La sua candidatura era in dubbio, poiché ha partorito due giorni fa.

Ciò dovrebbe avvenire in maniera graduale, a partire da qualche città o provincia, così da valutare l’evoluzione della misura.
Con questa scelta, potremmo beneficiarne in termini di tasse e di controllo del crimine associato al gioco.”
