'Thailand is an autocracy: The system is loaded against progressive parties'
Thailand’s Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra pending an ethics probe over claims she was overly deferential during a leaked call with Cambodian Senate President Hun Sen amid a tense border dispute. Critics say her handling of the May 28 clash, which left one Cambodian soldier dead, was weak. Paetongtarn is the third Shinawatra to face removal, fueling fears of renewed instability. Experts warn that without democratic reforms limiting unelected powers, Thailand’s cycle of political disruption will persist. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24's François Picard welcomes Dr. David Camroux, Honorary Research Fellow at the Center for International Studies at Sciences-Po and Senior Lecturer in Asian Studies.
