00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.

00:30In fact, a week ago, the Constitutional Court ordered the dismissal of the main opposition party of Thailand, the Progressive Party.

00:35Today, the prime minister's position was removed.

00:38This has caused Thailand to fall into a new political turmoil again.

00:43According to a comprehensive report by Thai media, the judge said during the trial that

00:47the Thai Constitutional Court dismissed him with a 5-4 vote.

00:52Because he seriously violated moral principles,

00:54he appointed a minister who had been convicted of criminal offences.

01:00Okay, let's get to the point.

01:00I have to give you a brief explanation of who Pi Qi is.

01:04In 2008, Pi Qi served as the lawyer of the former prime minister, Tahsin.

01:08Instead of Tahsin, when a controversial land case was heard in court,

01:12he provided the judge with 2 million Thai cash in his pocket

01:18and tried to bribe the judge.

01:20In the end, he was sentenced to six months in prison.

01:23That's because Saita appointed Pi Qi, who had been convicted of criminal offences, as the minister of the cabinet.

01:28On May 16, 40 Thai senators jointly submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court

01:35demanding the termination of Saita and Pi Qi's positions

01:38and the trial of whether Pi Qi's appointment violated the constitution,

01:40whether Saita appointed Pi Qi as the minister of the cabinet, and so on.

01:44According to the Thai Constitution,

01:46those who serve as ministers must be honest and upright,

01:50and those who do not abide by moral standards must not be ministers.

01:54So the senators thought that Saita knew that the other party was guilty,

01:59and he still had to appoint Pi Qi, which violated the constitution.

02:02Although Pi Qi had already resigned before this,

02:05the Constitutional Court still agreed to investigate this case.

02:09After the court today ruled that Saita's prime ministerial position would be revoked,

02:13Saita said he respected the court's decision.

02:16He reiterated that in the past year as the prime minister of Thailand,

02:21he has always led the country with an honest attitude.

02:25Anyway, after Saita resigned,

02:27the vice prime minister of Thailand, Puthan,

02:30is expected to serve as the acting prime minister and lead the government.

02:33The court's ruling today also terminated all the ministerial positions of the Thai cabinet.

02:39But the ministers will continue to fulfill their duties as guardians

02:42until the next court elects a new prime minister.

02:46According to an analysis by the Thai National Daily,

02:49after the court forcibly removed Saita's position,

02:51there may be two situations in Thailand's political situation.

02:55The first one is that one of the vice prime ministers will serve as acting prime minister,

02:59and re-elect him according to the constitutional right to dissolve the Congress.

03:03If the Congress is not dissolved,

03:05how will the new prime minister of Thailand be elected?

03:08According to the report,

03:08one of the members who was listed as the prime minister candidate in last year's Congress election

03:13can be selected to serve as the new prime minister.
