Government House, “Phumtham” is not bothered by “Chalerm’s” allusion, saying that if the elders advise, then they must listen. Asks the media not to expand on the matter, wants the elders in the party to love each other.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce Phumtham Vejjayachai spoke about the case where Pol. Lt. Col. Chalerm Yubamrung held a press conference yesterday to open up about many issues, especially his request to cut ties with former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his desire for Pheu Thai to expel him from the party. He said that he did not watch the live broadcast of the press conference.
As for the Pheu Thai Party LINE group, is there any heat after news broke that Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, the leader of the Pheu Thai Party, removed Pol. Lt. Col. Chalerm from the group immediately after the press conference? Mr. Phumtham said that he did not know because he was not in that group.
As for some parts of the press conference that referred to Mr. Phumtham, Mr. Phumtham said that
he did not dare to take it to heart because Pol. Lt. Col. Chalerm is an adult. Whatever advice he gives, he must listen. He is another adult that he respects and loves. There is nothing. If the adults advise or warn him, he must consider it. He asked that this matter not be expanded into an issue. He wants all adults to love each other.
As for Pol. Lt. Col. Chalerm’s request for the party to expel or dismiss Pol. Lt. Col. Chalerm from the party, Mr. Phumtham said that he was in a mode where he was prohibited from expressing political opinions and would not talk about this matter.
