Nattacha analyzes the reconciliation image among Anutin, Newin, and Pipat, reflecting deep fractures; awaits results of the 'Nu 2' cabinet reshuffle.
On 29 July 2026, Mr. Nattacha Boonchaiinsawat, MP of the Prachachon Party, spoke about the circulated image showing a heart-to-heart between Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul, Newin Chidchob, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport Pipat Ratchakitprakarn. He said the image does not end the conflict but rather underscores the deep fractures over power and benefits allocation. Reconciliation cannot be achieved by a single photo alone. Instead, it signals an impending 'Nu 2' cabinet reshuffle soon, and attention should be paid to whether it ends happily with mutual concessions or turns into a ruthless power play.
Nattacha further commented on the Prime Minister's irritated reaction when asked by the media about the photo, stating it confirms the issues remain unresolved and are not mere rumors. The key lies in reorganizing power and benefits, and it is important to observe whether the '2 N.' faction will appease the '1 P.' group by granting benefits or resort to a ruthless tactic to reclaim power and follow up with legal actions.
"I caution those in power that bargaining over benefits under the people's budget and authority, behind the seemingly sweet appearances, is a burden the people must bear. From past political lessons, those who hold absolute power and try to aggressively consolidate everything, thinking they have won, often end up defeated and with an ugly ending," Nattacha concluded.
