Itim Warns Constitutional Amendment Door May Close on Feb 8 if People Disapprove

Phariths Vacharasin, spokesperson for the People's Party, spoke at a referendum campaign event in Bangkok, emphasizing the critical importance of the upcoming constitutional amendment referendum. He compared the constitutional reform to a football match where rival teams might unite if game rules are unfair, stressing that without changes to the 2017 Constitution, Thailand will remain trapped in systemic problems like inconsistent government oversight and potential corruption. Phariths highlighted that his party has submitted over 30 draft amendments but only one passed due to Senate intervention, and the February 8 referendum represents a crucial opportunity for democratic reform.
