Democrat Party Fires Back at Former Minister Over Old Party Attacks
The Democrat Party hit back at a former minister for criticizing the party, saying mature politicians should debate facts rather than attack their former colleagues to gain favor with new leadership.
On July 16, 2569, Passin Pitutetcha, a Democrat Party deputy spokesperson from Rayong, responded to remarks made by Naen Bunyanuthida Somchai, Minister of Digital Economy and Society, who had criticized her former party using rhetoric dismissed as "all talk." Passin countered that the Democrats remain committed to truth and can point to tangible achievements across multiple administrations that disprove empty criticism.
Passin questioned why former party members would resurface old attacks in new positions, saying such behavior lacks political maturity. He noted that while the Democrat Party has produced politicians who have moved to other parties, mature politicians typically prove themselves through results rather than by demeaning their former colleagues and party to impress new leadership.
The spokesman emphasized that party switching is acceptable if motivated by national interest rather than personal gain or position, and he outlined major policy achievements—from economic recovery during the hamburger crisis to infrastructure megaprojects like dual-track railways and subway expansion—that originated from Democratic administrations. He concluded by stating that true political maturity requires substantive debate based on facts, not personal attacks or dismissal of past accomplishments.
