Prime Minister prepares coalition for parliamentary debate

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra will meet with coalition party leaders for dinner on Friday to prepare for a parliamentary debate scheduled for Monday. This follows a previous meeting on February 25, where leaders agreed to reconvene once the debate was confirmed. Tourism Minister Sorawong Thienthong stated that the Prime Minister is ready to address questions during the debate. The opposition has proposed various durations for the debate, but their requests have been rejected by the coalition. The government has suggested 23 hours for the opposition and 7 hours for themselves, but the opposition remains firm on their demands. If no agreement is reached, the debate may not occur before the parliamentary session ends on April 10.
