Thai court removes PM over leaked phone call with Cambodian leader
Thailand’s Prime Minister was removed from office by a court ruling following the leaking of a controversial phone call with the Cambodian leader. The incident took place in Bangkok on Thursday, involving Prime Minister Somchai and Cambodian Prime Minister addressing border disputes. The leaked conversation sparked outrage in Thailand, with many accusing the Prime Minister of compromising national interests.
The court’s decision to remove the Prime Minister was based on the violation of privacy laws and the potential threat to national security caused by the leaked phone call. The Prime Minister’s office has stated that they will respect the court’s ruling and work towards a peaceful transition of power.
On the other hand, supporters of the Prime Minister have expressed dissatisfaction with the court’s decision, claiming it was politically motivated to undermine the government. They argue that the leaked phone call was taken out of context and manipulated to discredit the Prime Minister.
The Cambodian government has refrained from making any official statements regarding the incident. However, sources close to the Cambodian Prime Minister have hinted at concerns over the potential impact of the leaked phone call on bilateral relations between the two countries.
The court’s ruling has sparked mixed reactions among the public, with some welcoming the decision as a step towards upholding the rule of law, while others view it as a political maneuver to destabilize the current government. Amidst these developments, the focus now shifts to the appointment of an interim Prime Minister and the upcoming elections to decide the country’s future leadership.
