They showed up in full strength as requested by Mr. Natthapong Rueangpanyawut, leader of the People’s Party. They tried their best and urged not to blame others. He added that Thanathorn should examine the process and any flaws in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) they made, and how the MOA harmed the country instead of blaming others.

Regarding the claim, The tags are [] That if winning in the second reading means the amendment would continue, he said he did not know what to call that—perhaps "repeated foolishness." If that phrase is too harsh, he apologizes, but the fact is that the Bhumjaithai Party voted to support the Senate; even if it passed the second reading, it could not pass the third. If one cannot see this now, they will keep being deceived. He said he had already tried to tell the People’s Party clearly that they do not intend to amend the constitution and that the MOA failed. Therefore, everyone should regain focus, follow the correct path, and proceed to the election. The tags are [constitutional amendment, Bhumjaithai Party, election, MOA, politics] . The tags are []
