Yotsanan is preparing to discuss issues faced by constituency MPs, surveying hardships after oil prices surged continuously. He plans to propose a motion on the oil price issue in parliament tomorrow, revealing that policy talks with the Bhumjaithai party have been smooth and that they are willing to include Pheu Thai's policies.
On 24 March 2026, Mr. Yotsanan Wongsawat, a party-list MP of the Pheu Thai Party, spoke about the problem of high oil prices impacting the public. He said Pheu Thai is preparing to propose a motion for discussion at tomorrow’s parliamentary session (25 Mar). The party has prepared this motion since the last parliamentary meeting and is ready to proceed immediately.
At the same time, they have surveyed hardships in areas where Pheu Thai MPs serve. The recent sudden oil price increase of 2 baht per liter has caused widespread distress. In today’s MPs’ meeting, there will be an exchange of concerns about the crisis. The discussion is expected to take all day, with close day-to-day monitoring of the situation.
Regarding foreign affairs, Pheu Thai continues to assist Thais abroad, a result of the party’s previous management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in past governments. This has maintained networks that facilitate coordination with Thais overseas. Problems encountered abroad have been reported back to Pheu Thai for awareness.
Regarding yesterday’s meeting, Pheu Thai representatives discussed policy matters with the Bhumjaithai Party. Everything is settled well. The representatives brought up issues and points to be unlocked within four years, along with short-term approaches. Policies Pheu Thai campaigned on related to government ministries have been incorporated into the government’s policies, and Bhumjaithai is willing to include them to drive these policies forward.
As for internal KPI assessments, discussions are scheduled today to establish criteria for evaluating whether the policies set can be realistically implemented. There are two parts: operations in local areas and overall progress. Pheu Thai oversees ministries related to social affairs and human capital. The outcomes may not be immediately visible, but good performance will address long-term problems and structural issues in Thailand. Many party members have experience managing these ministries before.
Mr. Yotsanan added that as scenarios change, some medium-term party policies should be adjusted to short-term ones. Policies that can be integrated with Bhumjaithai’s will focus on science and technology, which are clear and will be the country’s backbone, supporting all ministries’ work—not only those managed by Pheu Thai—to increase productivity. Given the aging society, traditional work methods are no longer viable. Pheu Thai can prepare for the tech war by promoting upskilling and reskilling to support new industries and increase income regardless of occupation. The party can begin implementing this immediately.
