Move Forward party leader slams government for its significant failures

19 Sept 22:43 Key points summarised by AI

Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat accused the government of complete failure in three strategic areas: major infrastructure projects, the electric vehicle (EV) project, and access to funding for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Pita highlighted minimal progress in key infrastructure projects like the Thai-Chinese high-speed train (4.6%) and the Laem Chabang deep seaport (5%), while Thailand lags significantly in EV production compared to regional competitors.
He criticized the government for failing to address widespread corruption and for its detachment from the people's struggles, citing record inflation, a weak currency, and high public sector borrowing, which have left many Thais without hope.
The opposition leader urged the Prime Minister to take decisive leadership in restoring hope, suggesting amendments to the lèse majesté law and an end to the use of Pegasus spyware against dissidents.
