EC puts Don in a dilemma

News, Editorial, Published on 06/06/2018

» A controversial decision by the Election Commission (EC) has put the prime minister and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai in an uncomfortable place. On one hand, being in evident violation of an anti-corruption clause in the 2017 constitution, he should resign. But the devil of this case is in the details, because in technical terms the minister has not breached that new law at all. The EC wants the Constitutional Court to decide, but in this case, no court decision will satisfy everyone.
