“P-Move” stormed Shinwatra Building 3, submitted a letter to the Prime Minister, proposing 10 policies for the government to solve land-resources-welfare problems.
Shinawatra Building 3, Vibhavadi Road, today (6 September) at 8:00 a.m., the People’s Movement for a Just Society or P-move, led by Mr. Thiranet Chaisuwan, Chairman of the Executive Board of the P-move Movement, traveled to submit a letter to Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, to propose policies for the public sector and mechanisms for solving people’s problems.
Then at 9:20 a.m., a representative of the working group of the Pheu Thai Party Director was assigned to receive the letter because the area and Shinawatra 3 building are considered private company areas, not government premises. Pol. Lt. Gen. Archayon Kraithong, spokesman for the Royal Thai Police, traveled to inspect the situation, along with police officers from Phahonyothin Police Station, the owner of the area.
The demands of the People’s Movement for a Just Society are
10 policy proposals: 1. Rights, freedoms, and democracy, such as amending the 2017 Constitution, which has provisions affecting the rights and freedoms of the people in various areas; 2. Decentralization, reforming local government by decentralizing local government and community rights in natural resource management;
3. Policy for reforming the justice process, such as cancelling all unfair lawsuits. 4. Policy for land and protection of agricultural areas, such as distributing land ownership fairly, in line with proposals from the public sector. 5. Policy for managing natural resources, namely, cancelling policies and laws that affect the public, such as cancelling the policy for reclaiming forests and the master plan for resolving problems of destruction of forest resources and encroachment on state land.
6. Disaster policy, such as promoting a community-based disaster management system to reduce people’s risks in preparing for incidents, providing assistance during incidents, and rehabilitating and heali
ng after incidents. 7. Ethnic protection policy and human rights by establishing a committee to address ethnic issues that has been approved by the Cabinet and can continue its operations, with more than half of the members coming from civil society and communities.
8. Policy on the rights of stateless people to solve the problems of status and personal rights of stateless people, nationalityless people, and ethnic groups. 9. Welfare state policy to move forward with the proposal for universal welfare state. 10. Housing policy, such as the state must allocate land for people to live in fairly and equally.
The leaders of the P-Move movement hope that the government will take action on their demands and not ignore them, because they have submitted the request many times before but have not received a good response. However, from now on, the Prime Minister has assigned Mr. Somkid Chuekong, Deputy Secretary-General to the Prime Minister for Political Affairs, to coordinate with the protesters to meet and talk,
which is hoped to happen before the government announces its policy to the parliament on September 12-13.
For this submission, it is submitted after it is certain that the cabinet has a schedule to take the oath and there will be a special cabinet meeting tomorrow to consider approving the draft policy that the prime minister will announce to the parliament. Previously, P-Move submitted a letter to the Pheu Thai Party through Mr. Chusak Sirinil, deputy leader of the Pheu Thai Party and legal advisor of the Pheu Thai Party, and Mr. Surawong Thienthong, secretary-general of the Pheu Thai Party.
While it was reported that the Prime Minister traveled to Shinwatra Building 3 at around 9:00 a.m., changing his route to avoid the front of the building to avoid the protesters.
