On Friday, the Thai Constitutional Court rejected Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatry from the Office for violating ethics after just a year in power, in another harsh wound to the political dynasty of Shinawatry, which could be confused in the new period.
Paetongtarn, who was the youngest Prime Minister of Thailand, became the sixth prime minister from the billionaire’s family Shinawatry, who is to be removed by the army or judiciary in a stormy two -year battle for the power of the Elites of the country.
In his judgment, the Court said that Paetongtarn had violated ethics in the leaked June telephone call, during which Kowtow seemed to the former leader of Cambodia when both countries were on the brink of an armed border conflict. The fight broke out weeks later and lasted five days.
The decision prepares the way to the elections by the parliament of the new Prime Minister, a process that could be elaborated, with the ruling ruling party Paetongtarn, which loses negotiating power and faces a challenge to make a fragile alliance with the razor.

The decision brings the premature end of the premiere of the daughter and priegéofes of influential magnate Thaksin Shinawatry. Paetongtarn, 39, was a political novelty when she was suddenly thrown into the center of attention after a surprising release of Thvisin’s predecessors by the same court a year ago.
Paetongtarn apologized for his escape call and said he was trying to distract the war.
She is the fifth prime minister for 17 years, which was removed by the Constitutional Court and emphasized his central role in the unsolvable power struggle between the elected governments of the Shinawatra clan and the combination of the powerful conservatives and the royal generals with far -reaching influence.
Ahead
The focus will be another shift to the one who replaces Paetongtarn, with Thaksin, who expects to be in the heart of a rush of horse trading between parties and other power brokers to try to keep Pheu Thai in the coalition.
Representatives of Prime Minister Phumham Wechayachai and the current cabinet will oversee the government in the administrator’s capacity until the new Prime Minister is elected by the house, without a time limit when this must happen.

There are five people eligible to become a prime minister, with only one of Phei Thai, a 77 -year -old Chaikasem of Nitisiri, a former prosecutor with a limited cabinet experience that maintained a low profile in politics.
Others include former Prayuth Chan-Ache Premier, who left politics and led a military coup against the last Thai government of Pheu in 2014, and Anutin Charnvirakul, a representative of the Prime Minister before withdrawing his party from the coalition of Paetongtarn for escape phone call.
The decision pushes Thailand into greater political uncertainty at a time when public restlessness is cooked about stopped reforms and the stuttering economy that expects the central bank to grow by only 2.3%this year.
Any Thai administration Pheu would be a coalition that would probably have only a slim majority and could face frequent parliamentary challenges of opposition with huge public support that promotes early elections.
“The appointment of the new Prime Minister … It will be difficult and it may take considerable time,” said Astithorn Thananithichot, a political scientist at Chulalalongkorn University.
“It is not easy for all sides to align your interests,” he said. “Pheu Thai will be at a disadvantage.”
