Fantastic speech from Pita, the man who represents hope and future of Thailand. Thanks.
You mean being a Puppet for the West LOL! I love when he went to Asian Conference in Seoul and Was the ONLY ASIAN At an Asian Conference Surrounded by Countries of the West LMTOOOOO
Shame on him
@@andyl9976 shame on you
So sad the dinosarus( leader of elite ) doesn't see value out of him, they want Thailand to be preserved as the Third world country forever.
@@prakasitify agree, they freeze the country to enjoy benefits from ppl. We work hard paying taxes to feed them and families but they never ever appreciate but still want more!! Believe once the people can’t take it anymore that is the day elite not even have land to stay!!!
We voted for you to be our Prime Minister Pita🧡
I did not and will never vote for him😊😊😊
@@wk5247 That’s your business 😆
Amazing speech by a courageous and eloquent man. Pita Limjaroenrat has single-handedly restored my faith in democracy and politicians!
We're so proud of you, Pita. The real Prime Minister Thai people has picked.
He's the winner of the election and truely the beacon of hope for Thailand.
As a Thai, I have never been proud of this guy who did nothing good to the country.
We love you Pita ❤
You are my inspiration to be a better man!! ✌️🏻✌️🏻 🎉🎉 Pita my prime minister

Pita brought back my hope in Thailand's democracy. Being hopeful is the only way to move forward even though it's the most challenging quest for us all.
I'm still hopeful for ASEAN. I hope it'll become a thing again.❤
Khun Pita❤ the real winner of the election. is the real leader with honor and dignity Have knowledge and abilities that are accepted all over the world We Thai people love Khun Pita😊 Our real leader
Positive talking points on reviewing the Charter of ASEAN, it's truly about time! We have such high potential in this region, but we must seriously look within each member country and collectively and contribute how we can best speak and stand as ONE! And yes, the concern about democracy and dynasty politics must be addressed!
Our real PM
We are very proud about you..Pita.🇹🇭🇹🇭
ASEAN must get its act together for its own good and benefits, that's the bottom line. As a region we can be our own alternative vis a vis the western countries and their definition of democracy and way of life. We must demand more of ourselves as ASEAN, individually as a country and collectively.
…Our PM! Our Election Winner! Our Hope!
He should be our PM but Thailand is too weird for good politician can survive. Poor my country😢
☑️✔️✅🥰😍🤩agree with you
Glad the Philippines is part of the panel.
great, great speeches! Overall, imagine realistically what if youths of the ASEAN region should have been educated in such institutions democracy-minded countries like US, JP, UK, CA, NZ etc.?
Pita is my role model !
People love go far.

Thailand claims to be a democratic country, but its actions often reflect a dictatorial regime. Despite holding elections and having a constitution, the reality on the ground tells a different story. For instance, the recent dissolution of the opposition Move Forward Party by the Constitutional Court on politically motivated allegations highlights the ongoing suppression of political dissent. This move has severely damaged the country's prospects for genuine democratic governance.
Moreover, Thailand's history of military coups and the significant influence of the military in politics further undermine its democratic credentials. The 2019 elections, which were supposed to mark a return to democracy after five years of military rule, resulted in a military-dominated government. The constitution, drafted by a military-appointed committee, ensures that the military retains substantial control over the political process.
Additionally, the government has employed authoritarian tactics to stifle dissent, including arbitrary arrests, intimidation, and harassment of activists. Freedom of the press is constrained, and there is little accountability for crimes committed against activists. The use of lèse-majesté laws to silence critics of the monarchy is another example of the regime's repressive measures.
The United Nations can play a crucial role in supporting democracy in Thailand. The UN has a long history of promoting human rights, development, and peace, which are essential components of a democratic society. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has already expressed deep concern over the dissolution of the Move Forward Party, emphasizing the need for political pluralism and the protection of fundamental freedoms. The UN can continue to advocate for the review and reform of laws that suppress dissent, such as the lèse-majesté law.
Furthermore, the UN can support civil society organizations and activists in Thailand by providing platforms for their voices to be heard and by offering technical assistance and capacity-building programs. By promoting inclusive dialogue and encouraging the Thai government to adhere to international human rights standards, the UN can help foster a more open and democratic political environment.
In summary, while Thailand presents itself as a democracy, its actions often contradict this claim, revealing a more dictatorial nature. The United Nations can help by advocating for legal reforms, supporting civil society, and promoting human rights and political pluralism.
He should have been the PM of Thailand unless the royal family interferes.
He failed to gather the majority, that’s why he’s not prime minister but opposition leader.
He can win the debate but lacks of leadership 🙂↔️
Thai's not true. Pita received a lot of supports from Thai citizens but not from the opposite pollical parties and senators. He has more leadership than those people. Please don't be bias.
Liar.
By the way... He 'managed' to gather the majority, but was blocked by the senate. That is why he is not the prime minister right now. And strictly speaking, if you meant Khun Pita, he is not the opposition leader. 🙂↔️
@@KrisM-hp7sz Very good point.
Yes, that's because he doesn't have money like Thaksin and doesn't have power like Prayut. I mean... Look at Thaksin, how many billions does he have? Look at Prayut, he has power as the army commander. What else does Pita have besides his ideas? Nothing. He has nothing.
Prime Minister elect of Thailand whom was blocked by the Senate, of which 100% members had been appointed by the junta leader, Prayut Chanocha
The constitutional court is now working on dissolution of Pita's party and trying to rule a decade/ life-time ban to him. The court judges were also handpicked by several junta governments / underlings of them. This court has dissolved at least 5 major popular democratic parties since its establishment.
Thailand desperately needs help. 😢

โอเค,ระดับอินเตอร์ผ่าน,แต่จะบริหารประทศต้องคอยดูฝีมือกัน.แต่ก็น่าสนใจกว่านักการเมืองยุตเก่าๆ.😂😂🤔🤔🤫🤫👍👍
นักการเมืองยุคเก่าก็ดันแต่นามสกุลตัวเองขึ้นมาทำต่อ การเมืองแค่กลุ่มคนไม่กี่คน อำนาจอยู่กับแค่ไม่กี่คน ประเทศไม่มีทางเจริญ แค่กฏหมายบ้านเมืองยังบิดเบียวกันได้ขนาดนั้นอะคิดเอา
