Oppositions to again Introduce Constitution Amendments

        Bangkok, Thailand (Mar. 18)  - Oppositions have planned to again introduce constitutional amendments in the next parliamentary session.

        Opposition leader Sompong Amornwiwat said after a meeting of opposition parties that the opposition  hoped a referendum bill would pass its second and third readings today so that a new bill for constitutional amendments could be filed during the next parliamentary session.

        Mr Sompong said the opposition was frustrated with the past charter change bill that was rejected in the parliament Wednesday. He blamed it on political tactics.

        He demanded Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam to take responsibility for the overturn. Both had told the parliament that constitutional amendments were a priority of the government, he added.

        “The opposition needs support from coalition parties and senators for constitutional amendments. Opposition parties will discuss the issue again next week,” Mr Sompong said. (TNA)
