Ratchada Thanadirek

"The issue is who is distorting? Stop distorting yourselves first! The People's Party verbally states no support for migrant labor on the Social Security Board, so have you asked Thanathorn?"

ประเด็นคือใครบิดเบือน? หยุดบิดเบือนตัวเองก่อน! พรรคประชาชน ปากบอกว่าไม่สนับสนุนแรงงานข้ามชาตินั่งบอร์ดประกันสังคม แล้วถามธนาธรรึยัง?

Ratchada Thanadirek

"If the People's Party truly insists they are "not involved," it is even more necessary to officially investigate whether the Progressive Social Security Team's policy involved impersonation of names, leaders, and political networks."

หากพรรคประชาชนยืนยันว่า “ไม่เกี่ยวข้อง” จริง ก็ยิ่งจำเป็นต้องตรวจสอบอย่างเป็นทางการ ว่านโยบายของทีมประกันสังคมก้าวหน้าเป็นการแอบอ้างชื่อ ผู้นำ และเครือข่ายทางการเมืองหรือไม่

พรรคการเมืองที่อ้างความโปร่งใส ควรกล้าอธิบายให้ชัดว่า “เกี่ยว” หรือ “ไม่เกี่ยว” และหากไม่เกี่ยว ก็ต้องแสดงความรับผิดชอบต่อการแอบอ้างนั้นอย่างตรงไปตรงมา
