Regarding the duration of the no-confidence debate, Ms. Ploytale said the timeframe is reasonable given the information submitted by the opposition. The government is not anxious but prefers to use its time for the benefit of the nation and its people, especially as many areas are currently affected by floods. The government must urgently and continuously assist citizens and cannot leave them alone in hardship. Every moment for the government is valuable compared to staging theatrics in parliament aimed at gaining popularity or political advantage.Tags: [debate duration, flood relief, government priorities, political theater]

“The government expects useful, in-depth information from the opposition. If there is any compelling evidence, they should fully disclose it. We hope the opposition will use the debate to benefit the community, not just their own political interests. The government has high hopes for a quality debate from the opposition and does not want to see the debate devolve into ‘stupid, worthless, evil’ insults as used in past attacks against the government. We urge them not to act like sore losers seeking attention but to use their time to serve the people,” Ms. Ploytale stressed.Tags: [opposition expectations, debate quality, political conduct, public service]
Ms. Ploytale also stated that the government believes working sincerely with the people's interests at the center is the best approach and will help citizens receive accurate, comprehensive, and truly useful information. She affirmed there is no “blue regime,” no monopolization of the country, and no crime against democracy, contrary to opposition beliefs. Instead, the government upholds democracy where supreme power belongs to all the people, coming from the people and for the people—not for any political party. It uses laws to protect rights and equality for everyone, not arbitrary power exercised by any individual or party as the opposition has misunderstood.Tags: [government integrity, democracy, public interest, political opposition]
