Los votantes de Tailandia apoyan a los partidos prodemocráticos
May 15, 2023 - Los dos principales partidos opositores de Tailandia han acordado formar una coalición tras asegurar un imponente triunfo electoral sobre sus rivales apoyados por el los militares.
The Move Forward party and opposition heavyweight Pheu Thai dominated Sunday’s ballot in a stunning rout of army-backed parties, but they could face challenges in mustering enough support, with parliamentary rules drafted by the military after a 2014 coup skewed in favour of its allies.
Their alliance would need to ensure its efforts to form a new government would not be stymied by a junta-appointed Senate, which gets to vote on the prime minister in a bicameral sitting of the 750-member legislature, and has a record of favouring conservative parties led by generals, Reuters said.
