Paetongtarn explained that her father had no authority over her government but since he “is a person respected by many, I may seek his advice depending on his expertise”. “We used the project as a campaign policy. We have thought it through well and during the past year, many incidents have happened and the economic situation has changed, so we need to listen to more opinions. It will be in line with the financial discipline act.”“It won’t be dominated because everybody has his or her view. We simply consult and respect each other’s views. Eventually, we’ll realise our role and I must be myself.
She said she realised some resented that she rode to the premiership thanks to the clout wielded by her father and that she was too young and inexperienced to run the country. Asked whether she feared her government would face a coup like those of her father and her aunt Yingluck Shinawatra and would face lawsuits later, she replied: “No one wants to face that. Dad and my aunt didn’t want it that way. I intend to undertake my responsibility to the best.”
A foreign reporter asked about her government’s policies and she replied that she would continue the policies of former prime minister Srettha Thavisin and would try to create confidence in the country among the international community.
