Pheu Thai Spokesman Urges Srettha to Stand Firm Against Influential Figures in Phuket Visit, Demands Real Solutions for Hat Yai Flooding
Pheu Thai spokesman urges PM Anutin to confront powerful figures obstructing flood investigations during a Phuket visit, demanding real solutions for Hat Yai residents still waiting for meaningful recovery six months after devastating flood
At 12:30 p.m. on May 13, 2025, Pheu Thai list MP Phakamon Nunanon and party spokesman discussed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's planned visit to Freedom Beach in Phuket, an area currently plagued by influential figures intimidating party MPs investigating flooding issues. The spokesman noted disappointment that a previous visit was cancelled without clear explanation, but expressed hope that this time the PM will genuinely listen to MPs and demonstrate courage in addressing the underlying problem—as ordinary citizens do not typically threaten investigating MPs without powerful backers pulling strings.
The spokesman urged the Prime Minister to face reality head-on and sincerely hear Pheu Thai's concerns without bias, rather than treating the visit as damage control or mere spectacle. Regarding the planned mobile cabinet meeting in Hat Yai in early June, the spokesman praised the initiative but stressed the need for genuine economic recovery measures—not just handouts or vote-buying schemes.
Six months after devastating floods, Hat Yai residents still await meaningful relief despite government claims. The city's current survival depends entirely on government-led reconstruction and comprehensive stimulus efforts. As the monsoon season approaches, residents fear another flooding disaster, demanding swift and substantive action from the government rather than temporary measures.
