Everything is a deal!Thailand's former **Thaksin Shinawatra returned home despite the risk of being arrested and jailed after the birth of a new Thai prime minister. Surprisingly, although Thaksin was arrested after getting off the plane, he was later released on medical parole, and what is even more surprising is that the Thai king pardoned Thaksin a week later. Even Thaksin's sister Yingluck, who fled the country because of the rice case, was eventually pardoned.
Such a plot doesn't even dare to act like this in a TV series!The politics of a country can develop in such a way that Trump, who is in a country of the beacon of democracy, is also admired.
In fact, in the end, Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck Shinawatra were able to be pardoned because of their family political influence. Thaksin's Sivana family is not only the richest man in Thailand, but also has a considerable influence in the political circle. Thailand's famous Red Shirts are die-hard supporters of Thaksin. Whether it was during Thaksin's election and administration, or during Yingluck's election and administration, the Siwana family and the Red Shirts contributed a lot.
And why did Thailand** pardon Thaksin Shinawatra and Yingluck?This also starts with this year's election of the prime minister of Thailand, after Yingluck**, the military forces dominate the Thai political circle. But in this year's election for Thailand's prime minister, Thailand's leader Pita received far more votes than the military-backed prestige.
Compared to Thaksin Shinawatra and Yingluck, the military is more reluctant to see Pita elected prime minister. And if you want to win in Thailand, where political forces are complicated, it is even more important to win the necessary partners. Especially when he is not fully sure of winning, pulling the Sivana family of Taksin over is the best choice for the Thai side.
Since the Thaksin family was to support him, the pardon of Thaksin Shinawatra and Yingluck became a necessary quid pro quo. From this, you can see how important it is to mix in Thai political circles without a strong political family.
In fact, this is not the Thaksin family using its influence to protect Thaksin and Yingluck. The military took control of Thailand after Yingluck's rice scandal, but Yingluck fled three years after the military took power, and it was the Thaksin family who played a key role in it. Even if Yingluck finally had to flee Dubai, it was a delaying tactic, so that when the current political situation emerged, Thaksin Shinawatra and Yingluck Shinawatra could make a comeback.
Thaksin Shinawatra and Yingluck Shinawatra, who are overseas, can pardon their crimes, and the brother and sister who return home can exert even more energy. Don't be surprised if Thaksin Shinawatra or Yingluck Shinawatra are re-elected as Prime Minister of Thailand one day
