Piyabutr suggests 2 ways to fix the Constitution without amending Sections 1-2, no need to play risky games. The referendum was held 3 times.

From the case where the Cabinet resolved to approve holding a referendum 3 times before amending the constitution. The first time will happen no later than 21 August, asking “Do you approve or not? that a new constitution will be prepared Without amending Section 1, General Provisions, and Section 2, the King,” using the budget of 3,200 million baht.

Latest (25 Apr.) Mr. Piyabut Saengkanokkul Former secretary-general of the Future Forward Party Secretary-General of the Faculty of Progress posted through the application X (Twitter) expressed his opinion on the said case by stating, “My position is to support the creation of a new constitution in its entirety.

To redo the entire edition is to redo every section. Every section is already there. There is only a prohibition on changing the form of the state and regime.

In the past 40 50 60 there have always been improvements in these two categories.

And I myself saw that in Category 1 and Category 2 there were many matters that needed to be fixed and improved.

Okay, but if the Pheu Thai Party and other parties joining the government intends to make a new constitution in its entirety Without touching Category 1 and Category 2, we should not play the “risky game” of using referendum 3 times.

But you should choose one of the safer routes as follows.

1. Carry out the resolution of the working group of the Pheu Thai Party led by Associate Professor Chusak Sirinil Statement at the House of Representatives on January 22, 2024 confirming two referendums, namely MPs proposing a draft amendment to the constitution. Requiring the preparation of a new constitution When passed by parliament They had to come to a referendum (the first time). When it passed, they chose MPs to do again when they got a new body. brought it to a referendum (2nd time)

or 2. Use the process of amending the 2017 Constitution, section by section, from Section 25 to Section 279, excluding Sections 1-24 in Sections 1 and 2.

It may be said that by amending each section, it will go to the Senate again, but the current balance of power is in the state. Pheu Thai Party should be able to talk with senators to know more than before, and next month 250 senators will be gone.

Using this method It would be a matter of not amending Sections 1 and 2 without clearly stating that Sections 1 and 2 would not be amended, causing it to become an issue.

Both of these methods produce the results the government wants. Without having to risk the first round of the referendum whether it will pass or not (because if it doesn’t pass, supporters of the 60 Constitution will claim even more legitimacy). Don’t waste time, save 3,200 million baht.
